    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Did they call it a grain salad? Last I had this (in January) they said it was "proscuitto and corn salad" but what I was given was about 70% barley, 20% corn and 10% proscuitto like a garnish on top. When I was offered something similar again a couple of weeks ago I said "is that the barley...

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    I walked past gate 15 at T3 just over two weeks ago and transfers were running with a sign stating the running times. I only glanced at it and if I recall correctly, it was something like every 30mins in the morning till about midday, then a pause to about 2pm and running for another hour or so...

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    Last year's status support rollover credits were deducted from the lifetime total, then added to this year's progress. So they didn't change the overall progress and were just 'moved' to a new year.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Indeed. I see they have now updated their "sorry we've made changes to your flight" email to add this little gem blaming COVID and 'ongoing travel restrictions'! "As we start to emerge from COVID, we are making a number of changes to our schedule to meet growing travel demand as well as the...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Interesting that you got picked up so quickly. I called that number only about an hour later and entered my QFF details as a Platinum and was answered at around the 1h15mins mark (no call back offered) by the Australian call centre.

    Cathay to cut worldwide capacity by 30% [Now 96%]

    thanks for the clarification. and for the record I consider myself 'green' instead of 'white' (olive skin :D)!

    Cathay to cut worldwide capacity by 30% [Now 96%]

    right, so as a European (and may be what you call 'white') I really shouldn't have to worry about transiting SIN

    Cathay to cut worldwide capacity by 30% [Now 96%]

    Why is transiting HKG preferable over SIN if you are 'white'?

    Seat occupancy lower

    Interestingly they have been removing A330s from the schedule. For example, at the beginning of the year at least one A330 was scheduled daily in Mar to at least Jun from SYD to MEL but now it regularly gets swapped to a 737 (and other 737 services on the day cancelled). Below is what is...

    Seat occupancy lower

    I've been flying relatively frequently with Qantas the last six months and from what I've seen, adding flights shouldn't be an issue because the schedule they publish - and sell - is as if they had the full fleet in operation but only to cancel and consolidate flights closer to operating the...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Today I called 12.53pm and given quote 1-2 hours, requested call back. Called back at 1h 23m but when I picked up after the first ring they hung up. Have just now left another call back request, again given 1-2 hours waiting time. This is following on from 4x calls last Friday morning between...

    Southern Lights Flights

    If you are in or can get to Melbourne this Friday 25 March and are interested in doing a similar flight (departs 8.30pm), Quo Vadis have advised they have had a late cancellation of 2x PE seats and so are offering 1x or 2x PE seats at a reduced price: "The two seats (21J 21K) would normally be...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    That is similar to my experience last Thu/fri. A very lengthy delay at SYD was on the cards. Luckily I could get moved to an earlier flight when I went to airport to sort it out

    Do you mean Sun 20th March? I heard a report that Russell Crowe was on that flight ;)

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    It has got really bad and their optimistic scheduling-then-cancel operations coupled with removal of airport service and to defer to poor technology implementation I would say is causing a great loss of reputation to Qantas. Not having a go at you and just venting my frustration but if they...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    As a WP the last time the call has been picked up in less than 20mins was at the end of last month. Since then, I have routinely experienced 30-60+ mins. Sometimes I request call back which never arrives. This morning I tried 4 times to call Qantas between 8.30am and 12pm. Each call ended with...

    IHG Platinum status fast track

    The My Offers page shows dates of the offer period (the fast track offer was available between 12 Jan and 12 Mar) and not the registration date. I find it a bit confusing also, but I have the email received on the date of registration in case there are any issues.

    Just did the Haloumi Tracker but got booted out as there wasn't an option for the type of account I have with the bank.

    QF zeroing flights - cancellation impending?

    Not just April, to June and beyond. I am booked on QF35 on Thursday 9 June for the SIN lounge crawl 12 June 2022 but this has been zeroed about two weeks ago and removed from the schedule. They appear to have gone from daily to 3/week. It is the limbo waiting that is annoying, and costly for...
