    What to do if my flight has been downgraded on Qantas??

    Indeed! Jsut got off the phone with a Customer Service Agent again, and it's the same message (which I've definitely aniticipated). I asked how much it would cost to upgrade our tickets to Premium Economy (where they do have power options), and was told it would cost an additional $5,000...

    First flight to Australia ever... need some help finding the right flight!

Thanks for pointing out the correct flights so we could experience the new A380 and have power at our seats. At what point do they generally assign seating? I called into the...

    First flight to Australia ever... need some help finding the right flight!

    Thanks for the clarification and all the leg work crazydave. we'll consult the budget, but I don't think there's anything in there for an international business class upgrade for us! Just as an aside, some of your phone agents are confirming laptop power in the economy cabin too.... Glad we...
