The gate dragon won't be the problem for the checked baggage (if any), but could be for the carry on. As a single PNR, then the IATA baggage rules certainly apply, and that itinerary would be applying the QF rules. What you are entitled to on JQ does not include any status benefits - so...

Unless they are on the one PNR, when you are talking Jetstar, all you will have on Jetstar is what is on that ticket - so nil checked without paying for it.

All depends on who is making money out of something, and is it worth doing it yourself to save money. Many years ago I knew of a bus company that had a panel repair shop for cars (not buses), that was a full time enterprise that did nothing but repair cars that their buses hit. Was cheaper...

That would make sense. I have had lost (actually delayed) baggage, and got the extra email, +1 has been luckier, not lost any bags, and didn't get the extra email (although we both got the full card less meal preferences which we haven't set).

Depends on how the account got compromised. If a password / second factor reset was done by a QF call centre making use of compromised data, Qantas would pretty much be obliged to reinstate the booking on non-Qantas metal - even if they had to pay the commercial fare. You might have to push a...

That is not true. There are a lot of checks and balances, but it is not a blanket ban that applies to "all data" and "any level of Government".

I suspect that there has been a lot about what happened that has not been disclosed as yet (and may not be). It is being represented that a scammer has tricked a call centre agent into giving up their credentials which allowed the scammer to access the system and access the data. Unless...

What a terrific idea - lets give them access to more information not already leaked so that the next attack can get that as well. Before anything like that can be done, the whole keeping of information in locations where it can be mass extracted by someone with presumably relatively low level...

I don't think you have much comeback for nicks in fabric an the like, but if that is a Delsey (which it looks like), simply get in touch with them and tell them it lost a wheel due to the baggage handlers, and that it is still under warranty. I had similar happen, and they sent out a...

Ir would be more than just being first flight out using an aircraft that had been parked up over night. You would need to look at the on-time performance for the flight, how late it might be and anything else. Other factors could also influence (just speculating), including ability to assign...

MCT is all about the airline perception of risk to them of the connection not being made - for all the reasons in their control. The two main factors affecting the time are most probably the physical time to transfer - get off one plane, frequency of transfer bus, get though immigration etc...

More enhancements - it used to be around 0.7cents per point. Very easy to devalue.

Value for points is in the eye of the beholder. It really comes down to what you would be willing to pay cash for, and instead can use points. It is all very well to say that a point is worth 8 cents or more if used for a business or first fare because they would cost $10,000+, but if you...

Internationally, one way revenue flights tend to be WAY more expensive than half of a return. You would be better off looking for return flights for some members using rewards, and paying return flights for others. One of the standard approaches is to look for cheaper return flights into...

I doubt that it will cause issues at check in, but that is not really the point here. When you have connections on the one ticket like this, you are "protected" in that the airline needs to look after you if you misconnect due to delays on the incoming leg and the like. They don't really care...

Add Hertz to the list with electric vehicles, and mystery vehicles which specifically note that mystery includes electric possibility.

No, as a base case this is correct. This is the absolute worst case value - i.e. the cash equivalent that you can always achieve. As you would already be in the money so to speak in this scenario, the fact that there are many even better values that can be obtained with those points makes...

The criteria for changing names on domestic have rather restrictive (i.e. expensive) fare bucket rules as well, so not sure how good a value it is. What would happen if you used the credit to book a domestic ticket (in the original name) then try and change the name on that? As long as the...

Sounds about right. It is quite a long way around by road. Timing can depend on how quick the border controls are, which can depend on time of day, as well as normal traffic considerations.

You can play around with some of the aggregators to see who can book the same thing cheaper - klook can be quire good - can probably get the cost down to more like $AUD 130 - 175 - but still a lot more expensive than the train (but lugging large amounts of luggage on the train - especially with...
