    Seats oversold on a Qantas flight?

    "Oversold" is a term often used by airlines and other people. From an airline's perspective it means that they have more people wanting to travel on a flight than there are seats available on the flight. There are many reasons this can happen, and in Australia it is most likely not to what we...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    In my experience (quite some years ago), they do count as a sector, but it only counts as one stopover between the previous and subsequent flight sector.

    Scams like these

    Yesterday I received an SMS from an Australian mobile phone number (+61 418 xx_ xx_ number, not a business name). It was addressed to me personally using my first and last names and reads: Note: BPoint is Comm Bank's legitimate platform for processing business payments. Now, it just so...

    Drrons off to Asia with Lifemiles.

    With a "smile" like that, I suggest that one has had some Botox work :eek: 🤷‍♂️

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Unfortunately, the scammers are also aware of this capability, and can just remove the +qantas from the email address and have your primary email address in their database. So while it can be effective in some circumstances, it is a not a way to reserve your primary email address from being used...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Got to love those wonderfully thought-through processes. I suppose the next option is to call the service centre and convince the out-sourced off-shore call centre agent that you are the owner of the account, by providing lots of personal details like name, address, date-of-birth, QFF...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Though once logged into the account, it is likely possible to change the mobile phone number and/or email address details. QFF recently added the option for two-factor authentication, but it is optional and I bet there are are lot of members who have not yet activated it.

    And I wonder if his QFF account PIN was his birthday??

    Air India B787 crash Ahmedabad

    Option 2 very unlikely that BOTH switches would both toggle 1 second apart unintentionally and without noticing. Option 3 seems inconsistent with one of the pilots asking the other why they "cut-off" if the switches were not actually moved, unless it was reported as such on a display?? At this...

    Delayed baggage with Sri Lankan airlines

    Time to make a claim on the travel insurance policy. With receipts they should cover the amount spent less whatever the airline pays directly. Only consideration will be if an excess is due on travel insurance, but that is the risk accepted when taking out a travel insurance policy with an...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Now you have just ruined my cunning plan :eek: I guess I was assuming any hacker would be in and out as quickly as possible without looking at current award bookings they may be able to cancel to get a few more points to transfer out.

    MEL taxi scam

    I would think that collecting a few of those "up to $10,000" fines would be a lucrative option for whoever receives the revenue. Could make a lot of revenue for a little effort.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Keepass is my tool of choice. Then the answer does not even need to be something I can remember or even pronounce - no, I am not Welsh, even though my answer to that question may appear to be a small town in Northern Wales :cool:

    Rules concerning booking flights from one of my five authorised stopovers

    If doing this, you do NOT need to recommence from Prague, unless you really want to go back to Prague. So you could choose your next planned point to recommence the journey and then its just one (very long) stopover between Prague and where you recommence.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I decided to reduce my risk as far as my QFF account is concerned, and make a few QFF reward bookings over the weekend. Even booking a CR+ international Y award as that was the only option in the date range needed. Probably not the greatest value for money, given that the flight was available...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Not that it really makes any difference, but I believe there have been at least 11 categories of data reported as breached. I had 10 listed in my received email, but did not have Meal Preference included, so that makes 11 categories. Address Name Email address Qantas Frequent Flyer number Tier...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I just missed out on the full-house, likely because my meal preference was missing. There is no option to select "yes" as meal preference so I always leave it blank. 10 types of data affected, As far as I am concerned, Tier, Points Balance, and Status Credits are of little concern since that...

    Tight Qantas connection in Brisbane

    75 mins is way too tight for my comfort, especially if desiring a G&T or 2 in the lounge before boarding 😉

    Tight Qantas connection in Brisbane

    I believe Minimum Connection Time (MCT) for Brisbane Domestic to International is 90 mins. You currently only have 85 mins in your connection, so it is not a valid connection. Has one of the flight times changed since it was booked? Or were the two sectors booked separately and on separate...
