That really doesn't make sense, and I see this reasoning on here a fair bit. All that means is to get Midnight AEDT they end the promo at 1300 UTC. That's how time zones work.

Yes and no. I forgot it was a high demand period and hence the website would be slow. Thanks for the suggestion to ring and the hope. End of the day the double isn't critical, I have at least 4 other overseas trips next year, including one that is guaranteed business, funded by someone else...

While I can own my slackness at starting a booking at 11:55pm and my choice to not use the express checkout option. The website taking about 4 minutes of loading time between the various steps is within the control of Qantas not me. I hit the pay button at 12:01. Obviously high demand, yes I...

Locked in a couple of domestic trips. Literally missed a fairly last minute return to ATL by 1 minute due to not clicking "express checkout" button. Damn. 🤦‍♀️ I guess no problem with using Qatar for some other trips then.

Considering the vouchers are apparently about your account there really is no privacy issue with telling you where you supposedly used the vouchers.

Just submitted an abstract for Hull... Hopefully, nothing more that the above. looking forward to a quiet year... lol

I know about: Tennessee, Lyon France, Hull UK, Madison US, Abu Dhabi... or Hamilton Canada so far Domestic - Cairns is very likely, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane... Perth? Maybe

Did they make you eat the food and nuts, or just themselves...? Personally, I don't choose to eat my toe jam. But no problem if others want to do so...

Not in a lounge, sorry. But I was on a flight once and a whole mob of people were writing on one of the safety cards with a sharpie. Sign it or something. They seemed to know each other, like 15 of them. Was completely disgusting. Would not want to be of a plane with a people who have no respect...

My reaction to the email... Copying Qantas lifetime gold, platinum plus, but easier to get... About the only thing is VA will actually provide the benefits. I'd have to be close to 8000 VA status since 2013, stopped tracking for covid. Soon to be double Lifetime Gold, i guess. oh yeah...

Well back in thread looking for seat selection rules VA economy award on Qatar to Europe (and another germanic port, this time actually in German). This time I'll just suck it up and pay for seat s on the long leg to Doha. 6 hours to/from europe is a doddle...

Nothing I've written precludes someone having an opinion. The issue is demanding people behave according to that opinion. Someone might think others are "flaunting" themselves, that's an opinion no matter how misguided. Holding that opinion does not create the right to demand/insist that they...

No I don't mean turn away, I mean don't look. Do not look. It's really easy ignore things. Do not look. Fundamentally, it sounds exactly like you're demanding people dress to suit you... the 1950s are calling...

LOL the ironic contradiction. 'Nothing to do about stopping other people wearing what they want, but wear something to cover up because I don't like it'... How about DO NOT LOOK, OLD MAN?

Well yeah, it is the exact same flight QF4111, AA 72. two points of confusion - Premium economy isn't available so they've moved me to premium economy. - Like WTAF? A time change shouldn't require a change in cabin. I have 3 awards on the same flight in premium economy on a separate booking and...

One of my upcoming flights has had a 5 minute time change, Qantas codeshare on AA. Qantas has sent me the following email message. I really don't know what to make of it. The updated flight details look correct in the change summary. Notice the strikethrough for all details on the original...

Gotta pay that $272 million somehow...

In early mid February, I also paid for some AA flights using aussie debit card (HSBC global where I keep my USD). I used the leading zero on my post code and selected the suburb as "Pacific Forces" or similar - scroll to the bottom of the list. Interestingly, I made the mistake of booking the...

The thing with call centres is they often can only see the same seat map as you. I've you checked whether your status is what is blocking your wife from sitting next to you. Can your wife select the other side of the aisle, for example? if you do that then you should be able to move to be next...

Certainly, an error on my behalf in not asking for/thinking to get a lounge pass at check in. However, the whole process did take a bit of discussion at the lounge desk, and they called Qatar check in to see if Virgin platinum was eligible. The answer was no, and so the Qatar contractors at the...
