i'm also still waiting for points despite getting a letter from Onepath assuring me they would credit the points by the end of August. So glad I cancelled the policies, imagine trying to get them to pay a claim!

We have been members since Costco opened in Melbourne and shop there every couple of weeks. Have found their products to be consistently of a higher quality (their meat is excellent) and lower price compared to other stores. They get really busy on weekends so best to go weeknights. What I...

So just got back from a great Honolulu trip, flying up on Qantas business class and coming back on Jetstar starclass. Both flights were fine, was pleasantly surprised at the high standard of service on the Jetstar flight. However, have a problem with excess baggage charged by Jetstar. We...

We cruised around Hawaii on the Pride of Hawaii (a sister ship of Pride of America) back in 2007 and the cruise was fantastic. Would highly recommend eating at the ship's surcharge restaurants as for an extra $15 to $20 per dinner the meals were first class. The Hawaiian islands are...

I used the TRUphone pre-paid sim card last year when i went to the US and it worked fine. The call charges are reasonable and it is easy to top up your credit online. Qantas are selling the TRUphone sim cards in their inflight duty free magazine and they are 20% cheaper.

Problems with QF Online check-in tonight? Has anyone been able to check-in online on the Qantas website? Been trying for the last hour and keep getting a timeout error...

thanks Straitman :)

I am on QF93 on Saturday 07 August and was wondering if someone could tell me how full the flight is in economy and whether 53J is blocked or allocated. I took the gamble of seating myself in 53K and my partner in 53H as neither of us wanted to sit in the middle, but it doesn't sound like there...

Hi, I booked two international flights on Sunday and had to do it over the phone as the Qantas website kept giving me errors (probably due to a stopover in LAX). So ended up wasting several hours trying to do it online then gave up and called Qantas, the phone call took less than 5 minutes as I...

Thanks, called Qantas and was able to pay for the flights over the phone, not sure why I couldn't do this online.

Hi, booked a couple of Qantas flights over the phone on Saturday. Asked for the book now pay later option and the agent took my credit card details and advised that i would be charged the booking fee now and have 3 days to pay for the flights. Didn't receive any confirmation emails but when i...

thanks for the suggestions. I ended up calling Qantas again and got a much better agent who was able to book MEL-JFK with a stopover in LAX for $1296 for me so pleased with that. Now just need to find a cheap LAX-LAS return flight!

Hi, I've been trying to book some flights on the Qantas website without much luck. Using the multi-stop option to book 2 economy seats from Melbourne to Las Vegas on 13th of August then Las Vegas to New York on 20th of August and New York to Melbourne on 29th of August. Have also tried other...

We are going down to Auckland next weekend, mainly as a status run and also a long weekend away, so if anyone is on the LAN flight from sydney on the 23rd of Jan or coming back on the 26th please let me know. We also got the Hilton deal at around $218AU per night including breakfast.

We are flying back from Auckland on LAN next month, via Sydney, then onto Melbourne and I am considering booking the Jetstar flight that leaves from the international terminal so that we can use the Flounge (I'm WP). The LAN flight arrives in Sydney at 7.30am and there are two Jetstar flights...

I'm also considering doing this status run in late January as I need around 200 status credits to requalify by 31 January. Looks like I can get a return business class flight for around $700. Does anyone know if this is a special fare or if its available at any time? Don't want to book it...

We nearly bought an iPhone in NYC in June from an electronics store but luckily realised that it was a fake. The seller admitted it was a fake when I asked him why the phone didn't have the Apple logo on the back. Although his suggestion that we don't turn the phone on until we get back to...

Hello everyone, Well I've finally got a respose from FOS having lodged a complaint in February. I must say I'm a bit surprised at the action (or rather lack of) from FOS, they haven't investigated the matter and I will have to lodge a further dispute in order for them to investigate it. In...

I used Priceline several months ago and didn't have a problem using Australian credit card and address, although i think you need to enter a 6 digit zipcode so just add a couple of zeros. Ended up getting Club Quarters Midtown for $US102 per night (plus taxes) which was a very nice hotel only a...

Yes, I'm still waiting for the balance of my points. Called FOS today and they said they had a large number of cases to deal with so its taking longer than expected butI should get a response soon.
