    How can I talk to someone at Qantas?

    I need to change a November booking to fly earlier in the day. I rang Qantas twice on Friday, once yesterday and once today. Each time I got a recorded message to ring back later as they are very busy, unless I need assistance with a flight today. When is a good time to ring?

    I am planning on staying in a few Hiltons next month for a total of 19 nights, so I thought that I'd try for Gold for either 4 stays or 10 nights.
