    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Locked in a couple of domestic trips. Literally missed a fairly last minute return to ATL by 1 minute due to not clicking "express checkout" button. Damn. 🤦‍♀️ I guess no problem with using Qatar for some other trips then.

    Qantas Hotels Vouchers used without my permission

    Considering the vouchers are apparently about your account there really is no privacy issue with telling you where you supposedly used the vouchers.

    What did someone do in the lounge that would make you not want to be on the same plane or near them on the plane?

    Did they make you eat the food and nuts, or just themselves...? Personally, I don't choose to eat my toe jam. But no problem if others want to do so...

    What did someone do in the lounge that would make you not want to be on the same plane or near them on the plane?

    Not in a lounge, sorry. But I was on a flight once and a whole mob of people were writing on one of the safety cards with a sharpie. Sign it or something. They seemed to know each other, like 15 of them. Was completely disgusting. Would not want to be of a plane with a people who have no respect...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    My reaction to the email... Copying Qantas lifetime gold, platinum plus, but easier to get... About the only thing is VA will actually provide the benefits. I'd have to be close to 8000 VA status since 2013, stopped tracking for covid. Soon to be double Lifetime Gold, i guess. oh yeah...

    Well back in thread looking for seat selection rules VA economy award on Qatar to Europe (and another germanic port, this time actually in German). This time I'll just suck it up and pay for seat s on the long leg to Doha. 6 hours to/from europe is a doddle...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    Nothing I've written precludes someone having an opinion. The issue is demanding people behave according to that opinion. Someone might think others are "flaunting" themselves, that's an opinion no matter how misguided. Holding that opinion does not create the right to demand/insist that they...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    No I don't mean turn away, I mean don't look. Do not look. It's really easy ignore things. Do not look. Fundamentally, it sounds exactly like you're demanding people dress to suit you... the 1950s are calling...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    LOL the ironic contradiction. 'Nothing to do about stopping other people wearing what they want, but wear something to cover up because I don't like it'... How about DO NOT LOOK, OLD MAN?

    No premium economy, so we've changed you to premium economy.

    Well yeah, it is the exact same flight QF4111, AA 72. two points of confusion - Premium economy isn't available so they've moved me to premium economy. - Like WTAF? A time change shouldn't require a change in cabin. I have 3 awards on the same flight in premium economy on a separate booking and...

    No premium economy, so we've changed you to premium economy.

    One of my upcoming flights has had a 5 minute time change, Qantas codeshare on AA. Qantas has sent me the following email message. I really don't know what to make of it. The updated flight details look correct in the change summary. Notice the strikethrough for all details on the original...

    Can't use Australian credit card for AAdvantage reward booking

    In early mid February, I also paid for some AA flights using aussie debit card (HSBC global where I keep my USD). I used the leading zero on my post code and selected the suburb as "Pacific Forces" or similar - scroll to the bottom of the list. Interestingly, I made the mistake of booking the...

    American Airlines, why are they so unhelpful?

    The thing with call centres is they often can only see the same seat map as you. I've you checked whether your status is what is blocking your wife from sitting next to you. Can your wife select the other side of the aisle, for example? if you do that then you should be able to move to be next...

    Virgin/Qatar seat selection

    Certainly, an error on my behalf in not asking for/thinking to get a lounge pass at check in. However, the whole process did take a bit of discussion at the lounge desk, and they called Qatar check in to see if Virgin platinum was eligible. The answer was no, and so the Qatar contractors at the...

    Lower fees with multi city Qantas

    LOL You got international economy awards less than a year in advance. Well done. That's very easy, I even got 3x economy and return premium to LAX 6 months in advance. Talk to us when you get business awards, young padawan. Well the fact that I got multiple business awards to europe last year...
