It was a bit more insidious than making the member tell them they're dead. I think it was family required to notify qantas... kinda irrelevant since that conditions doesn't seem to exist any more.

Used to be a requirement of the T&Cs that notification of death was required. I can't find that now, so qantas must have removed it. If it was still there, not abiding by the T&Cs allows qantas to void the account. Note clause 19.4 of the terms clearly states points have no value. Again an...

I believe the correct terminology is 'Crossing over'... lol https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292776/

Hmm yeah, you seem to have missed my other point - I have choices and I'm exercising those choices. Qantas might have their game, they're only going to make profit when people make the qantas choice. But yeah, great that your opinion is defend qantas...

Thanks. I did not know that... I was prompted again to search following an announcement that QF had release more awards MEL to LAX, last week. that's when I found PE on AA. Many assumptions in your question young padawan... Did I say anything flying to the USA with those airlines? No! Am I...

having been looking for 2 or 3 simple one way business awards to anywhere in the USA for next July, since day 1 that awards are released, I've decided Qantas points are next to useless, unless I want to fly via taipei on some ludicrous routing. Even trying to find one business award was...

Thanks... :rolleyes:

In which case EBA is irrelevant. Do they do 3/4 year bachelor/Honours degree, Masters/PhD and then 3 year certification program? In my industry this gets someone about $100k at completion. Pay starts at about $65k while they're doing the certification after 6 or 7 years of study. If pilots are...

That being the case, there is a massive issue with their behaviour in the lounge. Are staff on duty travel even supposed to be in the lounge? I'm also confused because my impression from the reading the first 20 to 25 posts is they were not in uniform. I thought that was a requirement of staff...

sorry late to the thread. My reading capacity is limited. I hope someone made the point that there is a Chairman's lounge in adelaide. If these two were really important, what are they doing in the lounge with the riff raff?

This one still isn't in California either. Certainly NOT in the timeframe you've mentioned. Rain depression... Go look at the projected track and you said QF11 tomorrow. Scheduled to land at 7 am? When the cyclone is still projected to be in Mexico. Australia gets Cyclones, Qantas is familiar...

Hardly a concerning hurricane at this point. The projected track has it still off the Mexico coast at 1 pm on Sunday, according to CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/19/weather/hurricane-hilary-california-southwest-tropical-storm-saturday/index.html 1692444504 yeah, we've never had anything...

Here are the seat maps for those interested. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-experience/onboard/seat-maps.html A bit of self research will show A320, Fokker100, some 717s and Dash 8 (of course) without business. I'm not sure Qantas would be flying a Dash8 MEL-BNE, but there is always the...

It would seem some people don't travel enough. :lol: The european vaccination proof rolled off just after I went to Germany, Austria and Hungary late May last year. But I had to show proof of vaccination to fly into Europe. I would have needed proof to fly to Austria or Hungary from Germany as...

As a general rule people should NEVER accept the downgrade. Sorry to the OP. But my advice, never wait for them to offer an alternative, and never accept a downgrade. Always ask, what alternative flights are available in business class. You might have to decide if the alternative suits your...

already on 1400 status towards requalification. Could've send that qatar business return to europe to VA... Not too bothered since this was all required flying. Now if there was 20% on Platinum one qualification, that would be an incentive to spend with Qantas over focussing on VA requalification.

Yes, my bad. Sorry. I re-watched the 4 Yorkshiremen last night, and yes, it does look like I was saying "luxury". Neither situation is good. Facing a blank wall is just as bad, and also much more frustrating. But not worse.

Thanks Op. Well done... I'll have to defend qantas slightly on this to say that at least they have phone numbers and there is the ACA. Offtopic= By comparison Ticketek is a complete blank wall, aside from maybe an email address. They will happily rip you off and deny a refund for their error...

Well, Michelin employ 1000s of inspectors who go to 100s of restaurants. It seems to me the main (only?) impediment to implementing the same ranking approach to airlines is money. I completely agree the financial cost would be massive to normalise all the factors your mention for airline...

What is your opinion of the Michelin Star system as a ranking system? In the context of independent or an alternative to skytrak process. Is that a realistic way for airlines, do you think? I'm not ignoring the fact that Michelin must need good income to cover their expenses. Maybe the expense...
