A couple of years ago I flew VA SYD to BNE last flight of the day. There were rolling weather delays and just two flights left mine to BNE and the other to MEL (the rest had been cancelled meaning a huge crowd at the VA lounge reception). After mostly clearing the crowd (telling those with...

The way the commercial policy reads those on 081 Qantas tickets should be eligible for a reroute on a different carrier. In theory this also extends to rewards seats so I wonder if anyone’s had any luck getting this change.

Yep there were two routes they could do this on, SIN-DPS for those on 3K flights they offered a free change to the JQ flight instead and MNL-KIX (operated by 3K) where they offered a reroute on MNL-NRT-KIX operated by GK instead. For those who'd booked direct with 3K on all other routes it was...

Nope they don't ask for proof of receipt because it's in the system. That being said they could in theory send you to secondary where if you refuse to unlock your phone could (and probably would) be denied entry. That being said I've been to the US a couple of times this year and the entry with...

Lounge can call check in otherwise ask at the transit desk.

Welcome to AFF, Qantas has never been apart of priority pass. Where are you departing from?

This is correct. A re-route via Melbourne would have retained the existing booking and not made the change to the spend based SCs. It's based on the booking date so changes are exempt and retain the original booking date.

I thought all elevated things like transfers and changing details required an SMS or email verification at the least. I guess booking using them wouldn't but that'd be a bit more traceable?

Hardly surprising given those dates line up with school holidays and ANZAC day.

During these sorts of irregular changes close to departure most of the regular rules regarding fare type go out the window. Either call QF or use social media (facebook messenger/twitter message) and say you need to be in SIN and the 6hr delay doesn't work. There are still J seats on QF425...

I bet they charged the quartet extra to bring their instruments onboard.

I'd exepect something more like LHR-SIN (on the same QF flight) then SIN-BKK on SQ or TG. The commercial policy indicates it needs to be a permitted route...

So an update to this, I decided to check out the Qantas club (after venturing out and using priority pass) which as far as I can tell now has a basically the same drinks selection as the J lounge (same straddie ale in cans). Another notable thing I’ve noticed today is that the JQ flights are...

I’m at BNE J Dom for the next 40 mins. Very quiet down the QF end of the terminal but crazy busy at the VA end.

I still haven’t got the 3rd email yet. I’m thinking I could get ahead of the game selling all those details of mine on the black market first 🤣

I’m surprised you’re happy letting your points balance get so high. Whilst I think Accor is a relatively hackable program I always fear that overnight they’ll change the value hence I prefer to earn then redeem ASAP.

Was mostly a joke however last Friday went to the pub after work around 5pm (in the Brisbane CBD) and no security guard as they usually start after 8pm. Ended up leaving around 7pm to go get dinner down the road and walked past a frozen yogurt shop which go figure had a security guard (this was...

I think my local pub has live music on a Friday night as well. I think this is about right:

It had been going around at orgs using salesforce. So I doubt Qantas specially was on high alert. https://www.cyberdaily.au/security/12206-google-warns-of-voice-phishing-campaign-targeting-salesforce-instances Regarding their salesforce platforms they are never sharing specific setup details...

For this very reason it's occurred in the first place. This has been reported (by AFF and others) as not someone "hacking" into the database but rather a leak through someone using valid credentials to access it. QF uses these 3rd party call centres (again contracted to but not part of QF group)...
