I've come here seeking collective wisdom of the mob. Flying to Vienna on Thursday from Sydney with Emirates. and the return is next week to Adelaide. It seems that emirates are progressively cancelling the flights to Adelaide, and have pushed back the return by 24 hours to land on Sunday night...

Strangely enough, I don't need to concoct something... The US have started a "not war" that puts the flights in doubt... 😂 I though the matters would work out by the time I fly, but emirates have now offered the option of a refund. EDIT: outbound was cancelled, have just got off the phone...

Think I flew back in from Japan in December, they had floor mats but not towels. I just used three floor mats...

got my 1200 requalify in 3 months this year, have just booked another 1200 sc with the most recent DSC promo. this means I'll make 25000 lifetime before the end of 2025 - so under the new scheme bank my first platinum year. Feeling like I'm winning, may I should move to QR/BA or something, but...

Similar with the Qantas gifting, although I'm 30 September - requalified platinum in ~3 months. Serious travel is still to happen this year.

Yep, Qantas business headphones are coughe.... Considering premium economy get the same headphones as business, IME, I don't think the OP needs to worry. BYO They provide headphones, the head phones provided as the same as on every flight and they are also very average

Is this a business class flight? I value points with a nominal value of 1 cent per point. In your example I would compare to the cash cost of the same fare to derive an achieved point value. For example you have 150000 points plus $600. I'd do a dummy booking for the outbound flight as part of...

Pretty unlikely. My question was more fundamental... Why run the promo? What was the point? Who is it promoting, and who was paying; Flybuys or Coke? Cause I'm pretty sure coke doesn't really have much trouble getting sales. So, What? Coke wanted small upswing in sales for Zero and DC before...

Fortunately, I know people that drink DC... Spend $24 and get at least $1000 of VA points. Seems like a good deal to me. ;) Could've just thrown out the coke for that deal. A bit like buying cat food when you don't have a cat. 😂 Also only had to buy one box... It just takes one to win.

Apparently there was 240 of them. Took about 6 weeks for my local coles to have diet coke gold can stock, but there was plenty of coke zero gold can stock* *specially marked boxes...

I'd guess Townsville driving from Ingham. Or Chartes Towers, except Garbutt is on the northern side of townsville They arrived 10 minutes before check in closes - END OF STORY.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this promo - golden can in specially marked diet coke and Coke zero boxes at Coles... I brought one box of diet coke... Now to turn those 1000 flybuys dollars into a business class flight to somewhere...

plan to be teaching in Sydney that day. Will keep an eye open...

did Jakarta to MAN with Etihad last year, in business. Even then the approx. 8 hour sectors didn't really allow enough time to sleep. I'd probably go for TK for the ~12 hour sector. But have only flown TK in Y from Brussels to IST about 10 years ago. No experience with their business. Have you...

Alternatively, they think their business product is so much better than the competition that Qantas think they don't need to discount it. Interpretation is subjective, I'm sorry that you feel the need to sook about it. Protesting too much is continuing to try to deny the alternative...

Oh, you claim that you didn't comment on the relative value... lets go to the tape Cotton... If not a comment about value, what is your claim here? You seem to be saying the product is competitive and therefore good. Personally, Qantas domestic business is average at best, from a low base. Me...

Is this this another desperate attempt to defend Qantas nonsense? Tell me how Qntas business is 61.5% better value than VA business. Let me hear the fanboi view. The most interesting part is Qantas pricing is computer memory - 1024 - power of 2 Otherwise... Don't feed the ...?

It is actually much more complex that your simplistic one factor rejection. AI estimated the number of P1 members based on published information from Qantas and matched other, independent estimates in thread. It estimate the P1 numbers using 3 difference methods, as prompted by me. I then later...

Indeed, not a normal distribution....

I didn't use ChatGPT as an authority. I used it to do calculations. Your misunderstanding on this point means you comment isn't at all helpful or relevant. thanks for the Anti-AI laugh however.. Perhaps try ctrl-F - 'speculation' on my post... but thanks for your "construction input" to agree...
