People are voting with their feet and wallets because of the way QF has the lost the plot. Why would anyone fly QF to the USA (or often the UK) when currently flights are almost guaranteed to be late or cancelled. The travel insurance companies need a standard form with tick-the-box for which QF...

Sounds like a similar situation to choosing a domestic airline in Australia !

The new CEO says that QF is "changing for the better" ! I think she meant "changing the fees because it is better for QF" to charge more to move my bundle of rights from one aspiration but not guaranteed fight to another aspirational but not guaranteed flight.

Standard Government practice. First decide the desired politically acceptable outcome. Prepare a paper that provides that as an option then sell it as the suitable solution for everyone, particularly if it is acceptable (no matter how ineffective) to those most likely to be detrimentally...

Essentially the same message I received from a friend's email after their email had been hacked. If you reply the scammer says something like. "Thanks for getting back to me - are you able to buy some gift cards for me as I have to pay some bills and cannot go out." My friend had no idea they...

Read "dress up a little bit" in the invitation. The idea is not jeans and T-shirts. A pair of trousers and a coat (if available) has always been sufficient in the past. I only wear ties to Court and to funerals. All subject to being overruled by the organiser !

The conversion that occurs if you have insufficient of a required currency is calculated by Wise by converting from whatever currency you have available on your card that converts at the best available cross rate - between currencies. I had a heap of A$'s loaded, as well as several other...

Yes, but my response is about the Wise debit card. Bank issued cards use the credit / savings to access the credit /savings account. The Wise card only has the debit option using your own funds. I understood that using the credit or savings options on a bank issued card also resulted in...

Only confirming that Platinum is the new Bronze - with a few extra perks.

I carry around a piece of paper in my travel wallet where I wrote, when I first received my Wise card 6 or 7 years ago - "use credit for ATM withdrawals with M/C, Visa and Cirrus". I cannot find it on the website now but that was the instruction at the time. Once you have actually logged into...

Why would you walk (unless its a fitness thing) when the 420 bus passes by Mascot station (well one street away or 3 minutes walk) and goes through the Domestic and International terminals on its normal route to and from its final destination (Burwood) ? There is also the 350 that starts from...

Yes fortunately the MNL - SYD flight (QF20) departs at 2035 so the QF pax, who can access the CX lounge, have already left the CX lounge to board the flight before it closes.

ANZ have done what your contracted them to do (process your transaction) so they have earned their fees - as per their T's and C's. Any refund would be a good will gesture.

Check you terms and conditions for your ANZ card (which are sent out electronically and that no one ever reads) on how transactions are processed. Often the card company VIsa/Mastercard have a process that transfers any foreign currency transactions from the underlying currency to US$'s and back...

The CX lounge in Manila is miles better than the PAGSS contract lounge QF uses. The CX wines, including the bubbles, were down graded after the lounge finally reopened after Covid.

Only one week since I made the flight bookings with QF for this event and they have already advised me of a change to flight departure time ex AKL - hopefully the last. I have booked AKL Voco (IHG).

Greetings. Previously, I have been able to make only one of these get-togethers and would like to do it again. Great venue and great company. My monitoring suggests @JessicaTam tries to make them as well. It is an overnight for me to have dinner but I will continue to monitor, with the plan to...

Platinum for CMA222 and +1 Flights booked ex SYD to ALK 7/03/25 (QF145) and return via MEL to SYD 9/03/25 (QF154) Accommodation to be arranged.

QF43 to Bali (Denpasar) is delayed today for 2 hours - so far.

I was life time Golden Wing member with Ansett so I take "Life" memberships with airlines as an aspirational title - and certainly not my lifetime !
