    Qantas Classic Reward Flight cancelled and unable to select suitable option on-line

    Yes indeed. Go to the call prepared with knowing what you want and the terminology to use if my best advise. The agent obviously was only looking for U class availability and she made no mention of the 12:15pm flight even existing until I asked about it specifically by flight number and...

    Qantas Classic Reward Flight cancelled and unable to select suitable option on-line

    Qantas cancelled and change my upcoming Classic Reward flight as they are re-jigging the schedule for BNE-MEL and changing the mix of aircraft types on the segment (B738 <--> A220). So my 11am A220 flight was cancelled and I was rebooked on a 10:10am B737. I am unconcerned with the operating...

    Why Doesn't Qantas fly to Kuala Lumpur?

    And I wonder how the prices compare for a return ticket purchased ex-Australia verses being purchased ex-Malaysia. Selling return fares from Australia to Malaysia to a mostly Australian demographic is likely priced higher than selling an Aussie holiday visit to a local Malaysian demographic ex-KUL.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    QantasLink boarding at AYQ was by group. Announcement before boarding commenced stated that the BP scanners will reject if your group has not been called.

    IHG Hotels that recognise status

    There seems to be some confusion between Intercontinental Hotel (IC branded hotels only) and Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG - includes HI, CP, Voco, Indigo etc.). If the "G" or the term "Group", then it means all hotel brands in the group. If just the term IC or Intercontinental Hotel then...

    InterContinental Brisbane opening June 2025

    There is no way that its anything more than new lipstick for the opening in June - re-branding is all they can achieve in that timeframe. But the article linked in the initial post in this thread suggests a 2-year process to get to the end game: So we can expect that it may be a work-zone for...

I was not old enough to understand the fare rules and my parents were really only interested in getting the family (5 of us) to the UK and back. Outbound...
