    Refundable Flex fare now only offering a voucher?

    Thanks for your suggestion, I called, requested a refund. This was followed by a "ACTION REQUIRED: Your Refund Request" email from QF that I responded to. My refund (including credit card payment fee) arrived into my account yesterday.

    Duplicate boarding pass

    It's always to suit the FAs isn't it! Should a passenger dare to request something for themselves it's always at a cost and too much trouble, but when it's the other way around we're expected to always say yes

    QF11/12 - "Individual seat selection isn't available for this flight."

    It really is quite an embarrassment that Qantas' IT can't handle a flight number split across two flight segments (and two differing aircraft) The last time I flew QF11 & QF12 SYD-JFK & return I was awarded an upgrade (purchased Business, upgrade to First) that was only effective for the A380...

    Pay Points to Extend Qantas Status

    Why not just scrap SC altogether. Seems pointless if you're just going to pimp-out status for purchase

    Look up "Qantas Price Promise" You can book within the "safety" of the Qantas website Then grab the cheaper quote for the same trip from Skyscanner using an Australian-operated travel agent and screenshot it (including a date/time on screen on the same calendar day as you've purchased the Qantas...

    QF Double Status Credits - Book by Feb [Now] 25, Travel Feb 25-Aug 31, 2019

    Keep on kicking the cash cow, big red Q If the flight/travel period covered to the end of Nov I'd be re-buying tickets to qualify for DSC but ... well, it doesn't :rolleyes:

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Sydney - Auckland Business on A330 yesterday: Appetiser: Zucchini and Parmesan soup - bleck! Terrible! No flavour, watery, very unappetising texture and look. Main: Red Wine chicken with mushroom and something served over rice with a wet sauce poured over: yuk - rubbery & fatty chunk of chicken...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Was nice to benefit from a Qantas IT glitch: Flight: QF12 New York (JFK) - LA - Sydney Paid class: Discount Business Upgrade to First: APPROVED Points deduction: 18500 Showed up as "Business/First Reward New York/Los Angeles Upgrade" ... there's no First Class on the first leg but there...

    How does DSC affect Intl J fares?

    For me, that's a "cancel, get refund, rebook at cheaper price" trigger -- even with a $600 cancel/refund penalty. I value the $1600 difference more than the DSC. Then on the rebook, search and price a cheaper fare using skyscanner and claim for Qantas Price Promise.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes.

    Hear hear! American Airlines can handle seat selections on a multi-leg trip under a single flight number (multiple different aircraft) why can't QF?

    When is next anticipated double SC promotion?

    The double SC promotions always seem to appear when there are NO seasonal sales discounts running. After the current crop of New Year and Summer sales expire there's a lull before the start of the next school holidays season when most fares are regular price ... then BAM DSC promotion for fares...

    First time QF F flyer

    The seating and suites in F need an update. They are pretty tired and worn, especially compared to Emirates or Singapore. Definitely a “90’s” experience. Just turn on the seat massager and mentally project yourself into a tight Economy seat and luxuriate in what you have :-) The hours will be...

    QF12 arrival and departure in LAX

    Isn't that QF11 though? And yes I agree, with the LAX immigration queue >90 minute delay (600 sweaty people in a 9-layer deep human snake with only 6 out of 48 booths open) the staff are always at desperation to get everyone continuing through to JFK to hurry along.
