    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Unlikely, as there were at least 2 revenue seats on the day of the flight, i did a dummy booking and also checked on expert flyer, however, I believe that they sometimes have a crew rest seat in J class usually the last aisle seat, at least thats what they did on a previous flight.

    Article: The Difference a Foot Net Makes on a Long-Haul Flight

    I recall many years ago that I was part of a group that tested the foot nets. We were sent to a hotel in Sydney CBD - all top secret stuff, a group of seats and they had nets, quite amazing i thought, never thought they would roll it out, but they did. Interesting that no one copied them.

Interesting after several calls they finally refunded it the day after Virgin entered...

    50% status credit bonus for 7 days

    Be careful of cancelling a ticket and using it (parked as a voucher) to get more status credits, if the original ticket was booked outside the promo period, you won't automatically get any bonus status credits - you will have to fight for it. the reason is that the parked ticket will bear an...

    Should Qantas sack their website team?

    I called them again and they said they would look into it, must be an interface glitch between their booking system and the website. O other travel booking sites such as Expedia they are selling the same fare at about $1700 something. I know most people would not go to book a J class fare...
