I did notice though, that even further down in the T&C's the page says "A Status Accelerator offer includes the 50% Bonus Status Credit offer, Gold Accelerator offer and Platinum Accelerator offer. It does not include any bonus Status Credit offers available to the general public." So I suppose...

From the wording on the Qantas page, this seems to be targeted to a number of businesses/companies. What's interesting to me is that the T&C's excludes you if you've participated in past bonus status credit offers. That and the very narrow window for completing flights makes me hope that the...

Yes.

In F, J and PE, QF upgraded the seat side to eX3 on the A380's and A332's. In Y they're still eX2 screens. On the A333's, Y also got an upgrade at the seat-end. This type are eX2- Not sure how the server side differs between all the aircraft, though as part of the refresh they aligned the...

I noticed this last year in October as well, though I assume it's across the all routes that the 738's serve. I didn't want to bother taking out my iPad so I had to make do with whatever QF thought were the popular shows. I'm guessing that technologically the back-end servers must allow storage...

The operating equipment (737 vs A330) has no bearing on the points cost to upgrade. The difference here will be that QF654 is booked as a Red e-Deal (Discount Economy) and QF645 is booked as a Flex (Flexible Economy) fare type.

I don't think I was rude or aggressive though. It was a "Sorry, I didn't seem to have gotten my starter", "No I don't mind having the main first", "Yes I'm very sure".

These service recovery points seem very arbitrary. Earlier this year I got 2k points + bottle of wine on a QF international J flight, when the cabin crew forgot to serve me my starter. Had to raise it to the crew when they served my main, which resulted in getting my starter (as ordered) after...

It was there at 6am when I was there late last year. I've never tried the service though.

A charge back is always the last resort, you need to try and work it out with the merchant in the first instance. How do you know you didn't initiate a charge back on the charges which actually related to your flights? You should have called Cathay and asked why there was so many charges, and...

In my line of work we do Usability Testing, sometimes multiple rounds to determine what works best for a realistic cross section the target user base. You would hope that Qantas (and every other airline with a 'creative' video) has done the same.

There was a recent episode of Border Security where they re-charged the GST for a $16,000 Rolex that someone had purchased on a different trip, four weeks prior. It looked unused though, and the person seemingly was doing this for many many items and making the trips deliberately.

Well Darwin is the closest major airport. A bit like how you'd fly to Sydney Airport to visit the Blue Mountains. I certainly flew in to Darwin when I visited Litchfield, Kakadu, Nitmiluk. Litchfield would be more correct, though Darwin is probably more recognisable.

Looking at the news article posted earlier, it does say the below explicitly.

Yes. I wasn't trying to say your post in any way was harsh, but the article itself.

I feel like this article is very harsh, especially with the use of strong words such as "elitist" and "sexist". You'd think a major incident involving HR occurred by the tone of the article. This style of video is hardly new. Must have missed the news on the effectiveness of the JAL safety...

I really do think QF hit the mark just fine on the first video, it would still pass as a good video now if they just updated the logo. Unfortunately that was the shortest lived of all the safety videos, barely lasting a year. Qantas Safety Video - 2016

Would've had a good chuckle if there was a someone with a "World Platinum" bag tag showing us his/her favourite "environment".

The YouTube version is normally a longer video which is cut down for in-flight viewing. Though this new one is still over a minute longer then the centenary version. The 2016 video was a whole 4 mins shorter - and I think that rates as my favourite. I managed to finish watching it, and I agree...
