    QF Fares not correctly advertised on qantas.com.au

    I've been keeping my eye on a promo J class fare BNE-JFK return for $6705 which was available until last night. This morning the fare has increased to over $8k. My issue is there was no "book by/ticket by date" mentioned anywhere on Qantas' website, either on the special fares summary page (Plan...

    Velocity Award Booking Date Change....RIP OFF!

    I'm furious with Virgin. I had to change my LAX J class award booking dates from June to Feb. At the time the agent quoted a fee of $250. Fine (although I believe QF award changes are cheaper; 3,000 points or $80). Anyhow, my credit statement arrived today and I noticed I was charge $500. I...

    QF 747 in Adelaide this morning. Why?

    I was at Adelaide airport early this morning to catch my flight home after a weekend away. As I walked to the gate I caught a glimpse of a QF 747 tail sitting on the tarmac (it was pitch black outside). It looked as though the plane landed and just stopped at the end of the runway. It sat...
