    What could airlines do to convince you to choose a middle seat?

    Double status credits or a 50% discount would do it for me. I might be willing to take a middle seat for a smaller discount if the flight were under 90 minutes. Certainly not for a small chance of a prize.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Best Qantas food experience I've had in a while on my recent Townsville-Brisbane-Canberra run. Pizza in the Townsville QC -- pretty good pizza, too. Hot chicken croquettes in Economy on QF755 TSV-BNE Shepherd's pie with mushy peas in Business QF1909 BNE-CBR

    Thank you all. Wait time was about 25 minutes, but they got it sorted out smoothly and with no fee.

    Can’t change flex fare online?

    I have a flex (K) fare flight coming up in three weeks and I need to make a change to the date of travel. I booked it in mid August. This will be the first and only time I have changed it, but Qantas changed the originally booked itinerary for reasons of their own back in September (same dates...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    I deliberately avoided snacking in the lounge before the flight, as I prefer to eat at lunch time rather than before lunch, and I prefer to eat on the flight and work in the lounge while I have more space. No, they didn’t refuse requests for extra drinks (and I noticed some people did ask), but...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    I had the same experience on the Melbourne to Townsville service on Sunday. The flight was scheduled to board at 11:40 and arrive around 15:00, so anyone who didn’t know what to expect was relying on the food service to be lunch. All we got for lunch was a choc chunk cookie and a single beverage...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I also had a frustrating experience recently. I narrowly missed my Qantas luggage check in time and had to call to see whether I could change to a later flight (the check in staff weren’t able to do this for me as it was a rewards booking, but encouraged me to call and have me a priority number...

    Jetstar suuuuuucks.... why don’t I learn???

    This is why I don’t willingly fly Jetstar. In this case, I’d paid a fully flexible Qantas fare but ended up transferred to a Jetstar flight.

    Jetstar suuuuuucks.... why don’t I learn???

    It’s not the policy that I take issue with, but the service. Besides, it had been at least a decade since I last flew with Jetstar.

    Jetstar suuuuuucks.... why don’t I learn???

    I recently flew Jetstar after having sworn off them years ago. My Qantas flight was cancelled and the Jetstar flight was the only way to get where I was going without an overnight stopover. My experience was similar to many of those above -- good inflight service, poor ground service. I had a...

    Qantas Status Credits Boost

    The first part isn't true. I had Gold status in March and had already accumulated enough credits to retain gold, so I did not get a 12 month extension. However, I have received the 50% status points boost and I am very happy with that!

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    Choice.com.au recommends the Miele WTH130WPM, the Samsung WD75M4453JW BubbleWash (which is what I tried) and the Samsung WD85K6410OW. But they also say of washer-dryers "It seems like a great idea, but they can be expensive, more prone to break downs, and many of them take a very long time to...

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    I have tried one in an apartment hotel. It did the job and was certainly very convenient, but apparently, they have low energy efficiency, so I am not tempted.

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    I'm a sucker for gadgets, so after having bought a few of these devices, here's my views: * Roomba 980 vacuum and Roomba mop: both absolutely worth it. They save so much work and do a great job. * Thermomix: not worth it. It makes a great custard, an okay risotto (not as good as hand-made...

    No, but my name is at the top and my new physical gold card is stuck to the letter.
