    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Thanks. Yes, I normally do insert the ABN when paying cash, but this time I wanted to use the QBR accumulated points, which I think I can only use when logged into the QBR portal.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    The QF website is a disgrace for the "Business Rewards" portal. I just tried to log in to make a booking and after entering the details and password and the security number sent to my phone, I kept getting an error message that "something went wrong". I finally get in after about 3 attempts and...

    AFF Cruise #3.

    Is this a repositioning cruise as there does not appear to be a single supplement ? I might be interested. The +1 gets seasick so cruising is a "No NO".

    Wise debit card

    Interesting as I, touch wood, have never had an issue in the many years I have been using Wise. I find them to be "as good as any bank" which is not setting the bar too high. I have had some very large transactions delayed a couple of days, just like the banks do for new account transfers, and...

    Wise debit card

    As set out above in #131 the account you open gives you a GBP account into which anyone can transfer GBP by interbank or on-line transfer into your Wise GBP account. It becomes part of your Wise GBP balance when received. I had some money that was to be transferred to me by the BoE. I opened a...

    Wise debit card

    Log in. On the Wise "Home" page across the screen are the currency buckets you already have. At the end of the horizontal list there is a + sign with the note "Add another currency to your account". Click and add GBP and the account will generate a new tile in your list with a zero balance...

    What cheeses me off

    Yes and then the banks win !! They want to make it as difficult as possible to interact with anyone that knows what they are doing and direct you to someone on the phone, that has no idea. They call that "Service". Paying cash is my preferred method just to enjoy how much hassle it causes. But...

    What cheeses me off

    A while back St George Bank wanted me to confirm all details telling me it was a government requirement. The notification said I could go to a Branch (if I can find one !) or do it on-line. I tried on-line 4 times over 4 days and 4 times it said an error has occurred and I must go to a Branch...

    Article: Great Value Round-the-World Tickets with Finnair & Lufthansa

    A minimum requirement, in my view, is they should be a member of ATIA (Australian Travel Industry Association) and accreditation by ATAS (Australian Travel Accreditation Scheme). Otherwise you are on your own.

    AFF Cruise #2. Rerun. Crown Princess 4 nights 25-29 January 2025

    Channel 7 "Sunrise" were just covering live, the 300 AFL fans departing from Circular Quay today for a 4 day trip. They were talking about all the functions and gatherings they have planned. Perhaps you can seek out any available "participant on-board itinerary" and head in the opposite...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Would it be cynical to suggest that VA sought to demonstrate they (sometimes) have 'reliable on-time departure" as a comparison to another airline that PD may utilise ?

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

    ...and/or a deliberate distraction for the QF AGM that was scheduled in "Hobart" the day following the DSC announcement.

    A bit of humour

    Unfortunately that is not humour, it is deadly serious legal advice !!

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Seeing how we are so picky, given the intention was to suggest the Board would not travel in the circumstances set out by @cove, lets all read it as "remuneration" and stay with the original theme.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    🤣🤣🤣 the Board members would have insisted on an A330 and on travelling during the day time with pre-ordered Chairman's lounge meals. They are clearly out of touch with reality and get paid massive salaries and bonuses for doing such a good job - according to the KPI's they set themselves - which...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    So it has reached the stage it may be less work to post when QFi flights actually operate on time !! Even with the aircraft and crew in MNL they still managed to maintain their consistency to be over 4 hours late for the return.
