    Cheaper to fly further.

    Thank you. I've never had time to research it but it didn't dawn on me that it could have been a 'bums in seats' reason.

    Cheaper to fly further.

    This may well have been covered on the forum here or in another thread but each time it happens I say I'm going to write about it - and never do until today :) :) Last year we did something like 50 flights, many of them long haul. We usually fly business, occasionally PE and for short hauls we...

    More Taxes and other charges with changed flight? [Rebook return on Kris award booking]

    I’m sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere on the forums; we are traveling and I have restricted internet access, so is easier to ask than go searching. We are in Europe, having an amazing trip and decided to extend our return date. We booked Singapore Airlines business class and...

    QF v SIA customer service

    Nowadays I usually try the regular channels first i.e customer service, if that does not produce a desired outcome or even a response I immediately go to their FB page and make contact that way. The outcome is virtually immediate. In fact I find this a far more effective way of getting something...

    A very long run comes to an end...

    After a 40 year relationship with QANTAS, I finally divorced them about two years ago. I had enjoyed top tier status with them many times over the years. I didn’t divorce them without effort though and spent at least two years trying to get my concerns addressed by QANTAS, even to the point of...

    Air Canada Maple Leaf

    We've spent most of the day in this lounge at Vancouver International. Lovely comfy seats and great views of the gates. Have also met some great fellow travelers. Has been relatively quiet most of the time, so why do they have the music blaring!!! Foods very, very ordinary and to boot - no...

    Time pressured to resolve this .....yikes!

    W We ended up dropping from business to PE, going Manchester/Houston/MSP then separate booking MSP/Vancouver/Brisbane. Took hours but did scrape in just under the $8750.00 AUD.

    Nope, trying to get us Europe to USA, then USA to BNE for $8750.00. Those are the two long hauls and need to do business class.

We now have to be in Minneapolis for the first week of October before continuing to Brisbane. I've been trying to find...

    It's been awhile but I have a couple of questions for all the experts please!

    Hi, It's been awhile since I've posted on this forum, probably because for the last few years we've been busy flying, raking up over a hundred flights each year. im not even sure this is the right place to ask but I have about six hours to make a decision and keep going round and round in...

    Qantas operated LAX First/oneworld lounges at TBIT

    I used the LAX lounge at Tom Bradley on 21st December 2014. I was very disappointed. The noise level was high and as more people came in the background music got louder and louder. When I commented to the service desk they said it was because they were sharing with the First Class Lounge. I felt...

    O Class and status credits

    Thanks for your responses. Last time I flew AA specifically to get QANTAS status credits to retain my status, I had to fight QANTAS for them, even though their web site stated I was eligible. This time I thought I would get double confirmation from QANTAS and instead got different answers. Very...

    O Class and status credits

    Does anyone know if you get QANTAS status credits when flying O class on American Airlines? We've been given two different answers by QANTAS staff. Many thanks,

    Sitting on the tarmac in Dallas

    Am curious as to whether anyone else has sat on the Tarmac at Dallas when flying the direct route to Aussie while bags have been unloaded because of weight issues? Also if others have experienced bing re-routed to Akl or Noumea on the DFW to Aussie route to refuel. Many thanks,
