    Jetstar cancellation and automatic refund voucher issued

    I would jump online to my credit card and issue a "dispute transaction" / "chargeback" for service not provided and attach your evidence that the service was cancelled by them (i.e not provided). Don't waste your time disputing with Jetstar.

    Article: Airlines, Please Stop Selling Ridiculously Tight Connections

    I sit on the other side of the fence on this one....... I love the option of Ridiculously Tight Connections. It gives me the power to make the best decision for myself. Matt's example of his experience in Madrid, shows how you can actually make it work. I only travel with cabin bags, so that may...

    Very disappointed about Qantas FF program

    100% agree they (and all airlines) should have transparency of their award seats. Not sure about forced to have a fixed number. If they just had transparency, then competition would drive the customers to the more rewarding programs....... at the moment, I think the airlines are using their...

    Very disappointed about Qantas FF program

    Maybe a post for the grammar forum, but is it that they are "misled" - this would be illegal conduct, or are they "misguided" - using snippets of information (from Qantas partners, bloggers and others) to form an incorrect assumption?

    Very disappointed about Qantas FF program

    How many seats do you feel would be reasonable for Qantas to release? Qantas has in the past had "points planes". There was an A380 points plane open with every seat available for points booking. This is what was posted on the thread for that flight: It went live at approx 4:56am Perth time and...

    QR Avios expiring soon - What can be done?

    I understand buying 1,000 Avios from QR for $45AUD should extend them for another 3 years.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Good call. Incorrectly assumed everyone was electronic........ Maybe change to group colours, such that there is no implicit assumption of priority order.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    I get the image, and the methodology needed....... but what I don't understand is why you would need to introduce this complexity for the customer to understand...... despite those that do understand and those that see no need to understand, there will be many customers with anxiety, eagerness...

    Qantas Frequent Flyer refusing to credit Alaska flight as operated by Skywest

    I note from Flight Aware that Alaska Airlines 3425 shows as "Operating as SkyWest 3425". If it is operating as SkyWest 3425, then maybe this is the issue?

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Yes, this is an obscure unwritten (until now) interpretation of clause five of the AFF general rules, which requires that we "respect your fellow members", so I took that to mean straw polls were binding (as a demonstrated sign respect) 🤣........... but seriously, if you can have fun, do it...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    As this was a straw poll, I am assuming Deja will honour the poll...... so it sounds like only we can decide :) I vote upgrade :)

    HSBC increasing credit card annual fees on 11/3/25

    Maybe they have grandfathered?...... This notification has not been sent to card holders and is only on their card application page...... Their important notices page (accessible from the bottom of their home page), does not say anything anout changes: Important Notices | Latest Information -...

    HSBC increasing credit card annual fees on 11/3/25

    ......and interesting to see their obligation in respect to informing their customers of this change: "Changes to fees and charges''....."that are not favourable to you"....."we’ll tell you by writing to you or by publishing in a notice." it looks like their job is done, notice has been...

    Eligible spend for unlocking Qantas lounge passes

    Correct,. Carbon offset needs to purchased against an existing booking…… it does not have to be your own booking though. Any family of friends booking can be used to make this spend with your card

    Eligible spend for unlocking Qantas lounge passes

    Yes, I have used the purchase of an offset (about 3 months ago) and it was my only Qantas spend and my Westpac lounge passes were triggered.

    Christmas in nth Queensland

    Guessing it may have been a couple of years since you have been there (when they had the adults only pool). They changed their market to Adults Only recently....... Their policy page (Policies - The Reef House Adults Retreat) shows: "No Children policy under 16 years of age - The Reef House is...

    Qantas appears to have already been loaded with classic reward availability - 1xJ and 7xY on most (maybe all) days.
