Those boarding pass printers could be fun, but I couldn't find any Bonza boarding pass card stock

I can't find a source right now, but I remember a spat between the US Majors where DL was complaining that AA was rebooking pax onto them significantly more than DL was rebooking pax onto AA. Did this happen or am I remembering things?

Before they made this change the wait time was about ~15-20 minutes, so I reckon someone got a KPI or something based on average time to answer call, not realising (or more likely not caring) that the experience for customers is significantly worse with the outsourced call centres.

During 2021 and earlier Platinum members generally only got the Hobart call center, but nowadays the only difference I can see is that we go to the front of the phone queue so there's nearly no wait. Unfortunately there's not much benefit to the fast answer time if the person picking up the...

Does this imply that previously, the ticket handling queue was not ordered to put the most time sensitive bookings first? That seems like an incredible oversight for an airline. Ever since they got a significant bunch of outsourced call centres to handle the call wait time crisis of 2022, the...

Yeah that's annoying, but hopefully they see your ticket and realise what's going on.

To confirm, you flew on a QR flight number such as QR4990 or QR4992 and your ticket does not show a MH flight number? If this is the case, then Qantas denying you points is in error. You should've earned 4,250 Points and 100 SCs. Best way to resolve this is to email...

I think it would make sense for QF to operate SYD-KIX (or CTS seasonal?) and JQ to move to SYD-NRT. I saw someone mention SYD-NRT A380 which seems unlikely (but I would love it - sounds like fun).

Subjectively yes - always finding "I" space to get a Platinum CR seat released on the daytime flights, but always a struggle on the overnight flights.

Do we think they'll add a SYD/NRT? I assume there's enough demand they wouldn't go from double -> single daily, unless a 787 makes up for it (can't imagine it does...)

This is surprising as Qantas Club membership has always allowed 1 guest, even now.

non-North America Oneworld Sapphire grants access to the Flagship Lounge. Your access was not a mistake

I don't know if it still happens, but last time I checked (last year) JAL would sometimes swaps out the MEL-NRT 787-8 from Sky Suite to Shell Flat Neo (angle flat) seats. Anyway, I'd pick the CI + CX option because I actually really enjoy the CI business class. Main reason to pick the JL option...

I was unable to get it by calling when I flew earlier this year, but I was successful asking them on WhatsApp. I think it's just random chance whether you get an agent who will do it or not. I was on a cash J fare.

I wouldn't be sure if the newer 3-4-3 configuration is better in Economy, although it sure is better in Business. It really is annoying (experienced this myself last year when I went to the US in ANA) that ANA seems to still be flying quite a few aircraft transpacific with the old configuration...

I don't think so, it was increased from $65 to $77 in 2013 (QF Change fee increase from 18th Sep), can't currently find when it got increased to $99. Anyway, I'd like to see Qantas reduce the cost of purchasing a flexible ticket on their domestic flights - I wouldn't be worrying about changes...

Is this a return search, or two one-ways?

The scanners at Hobart are on the sides of the lanes, not between them, so she couldn't see my boarding pass as she was standing on the other side of the economy queue from me.

To be clear, I was in the front of the priority queue - it's just nobody was there, and when I got the attention of the person handling the economy queue, she just gestures at the economy queue.

I mean, it's possible it's a bug, but I find generally the explanation is one of; Your GPS location is a bit off and is near the station but not in the station. It thinks you have to go all the way around to a crossing to get to the train station or something stupid, so it decides it's better...
