Re: Qantas Restaurants NOT awarding points - Harden Up. Mostly this occurs when I arrive at 1pm and happens about 50% of the time from the airport - I don't think that many taxi drivers forget for several hours. The industry is going downhill in Adelaide because taxis are too cheap. When...

Re: Qantas Restaurants NOT awarding points - Harden Up. I should start out by saying I am not a lawyer but in a dispute once a lawyer gave me some sound advice. I was holding on to some ones gear until they paid an unrealted bill but had not official right to a lien. He said, "it's not theft...

This is all news to me. What constitutes a "Status Pax" for this?

Re: No help from BA: Seriously injured, in intensive care and can't cancel ticket - a Hmmm, Can't the Girlfriend that was travelling with him (presumabley on the same booking) phone and cancel. But that wouldn't make a news story. Can't be critical as we do not know all the details.

I have had similar problem with FC but on cancellation. They quoted a cancellation fee when I booked the tickets but then when I had to cancel because of an ill family member they wanted to charge that cancelation fee each PERSON and for each SEGMENT which would have been thousands (these were...

The first 3 years of my 20 year working life was with a 'not so professional' company. It was the most educational experience in my life. The only thing to watch for is that you hold true to yourself. If your employer convinces you that "Black is white and white is black" you may get run over...

The problem here is that in my experience they lie about 'the price'. They are not up front about the deal. I and many others have had trouble to get the points. I was told I would get the points by the operator. I chased Travelex when they did not arrive and they said no points for a...

Couldn't agree more. You would have to use NewSpeak. "Does it represent a security concern". That's fine until "planting a bomb" gets called "left an unattended item" then it will just be better no to speak on a plane. As for the poor French man, obviously slow off the mark. When asked by...

Buy a subsription to Expert Flyer or similar. Then you will see that as soon as you start adding restrictions to routing it can quickly get difficult. (ie must be OW, must have place X,Y,Z on way, Price under Z. Now when you do this it is not hard to clock up 4 hours or more and you may or may...

Or you could just get an Apec card and only pay about $300 / 3 years for many countries. Best travel investment I made.

Be careful with percentages here. Status passengers will make up a bigger percentage of the passengers on the plane than they make a percentage of the FF population (or customer base). This is because they fly more often. So while I think the 40% is a high estimate as a percentage of the FF...

The truth is the Chinese carriers are reasonabley safe these days. CE can be a scheduling disaster and a safety wonder. Service can be ok. On one flight where they allowed us to move seats simply because the outside plastic window was cracked and I was a bit nervious siting next to it. Also...

I've had quite the reverse experience in China. On two occasions I have come to the room when the cleaners have been there and they have asked me for my room card, checked it in the door and put it in the light switch holder and taken their card out. I have always had to produce a passport for...

FC have been in trouble with ACCC before for the way they give the impression that their fairs are the lowest and you do not need to shop around. They changed their sales slogans a bit. But you could write to ACCC saying that you did not shop around because they claim "Unbeatable" and "Fly...

My limitted experience (and yes as WP) is to ask them to mark the request for the two seats together. They will not promise a result and often play down the chances but I have nearly always ended up sitting with partner. Even at check in it is worth a go - I have found the BP beeps at the gate...

The only thing that the 747 and the 787 have in common is that they cost money. So for Boing they are substitues but not for airlines. I mean you'd hardly swap your 787 orders for 747 orders. And I can't see Qantas running new 747 and A380 when they fill a similar spot. With the 787 delay we...

I had to laugh when some one pointed out this to me Flight Centre - Corporate I don't think it quite reads how they intended it.

I got this email when I sent feedback via the website. In fact I got the email several times but never once did some one call me. Not that they had to as it was a compliment about the service on one of their flights.

All this fuss about plastic knives in the First lounge - you should see he massive arving life they have a habit of leaving with the carvery in the CX Wing - any one can grab it.

You are probably right about using some fuel. Lucky they still had one good engine or they'd of been circling for hours :)
