    What to do about noshows?

    I had a QF domestic connection to EK in Brisbane one evening. The domestic flight was hours late so my relaxed transit was now will we make it. The staff in the lounge said it's all good, they'll page you if needed. Given the tight time frame and the time of day- around 10pm departure from BNE...

    What to do about noshows?

    There's an element of systemic redundancy as well- one process fails another one addresses the risk, or part of. Stricter procedures? There's grumbles about the procedures now about whether this or that is needed/ waste of time and effort etc ( right or wing I don't know). Stricter ones would...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I think the critical word there is presumably. In most cases you'd be right, be legally can an entity issue a credit (in lieu of a refund) to someone other than that who a actually paid it? I don't know.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    That was the third attempt, all to Hobart. It didn't cost any more in points or fees. I get that the benefit is being protected on the one booking as opposed to separate ones. Being a QF to QF connection the chances of being told bad luck in the event of delay I reckon are not great given the...

    FWIW, I recently requested and obtained two First class seats SYD-SIN return for Sept 25, but could not get any Y CR seats for connecting SYD-CBR flights. Plenty showing online. The agents couldn't understand it, ended up going with a separate CR booking and linking them.

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    Japanese, and other countries in Asia, tour companies traditionally have preferred overnight flights so the daylight hours on quite short stays are not used up travelling but touring. Not for me, but my holidays tend to be a bit longer.

    Oman Air seats now showing up as QF Classic Rewards

    I think WY is hosted by Sabre, if so will highly likely be a different PNR record locator than QF (Amadeus hosted).

    DOH Lounge Access? [J to Europe, transit]

    I will be flying SIN-DOH-MUN in Business with SIN-DOH on an I class fare and DOH-MUN P class (one booking). Any thoughts/experience on whether I can access the AL Mourjan lounge? I'm thinking in theory not as the next flight being P class fare does not grant access. I'll be oneworld Sapphire...

    QF multi city through-checked baggage between legs

    I believe it can be a combination of airline and airport rules. See this (old) thread. QF wouldn't check baggage through with long layover

    Ask The Pilot

    From memory, operating crew are exempt visa requirements from most countries, I'm sure they're are one that do though. Australia users a Crew Travel Authority (CTA), similar to an ETA for passengers - not technically a visa ( in legal terms that is, an EVisa is different to a ETA). These are...
