Interested in the opinions of the brains trust here... picture this scenario... DYKWIA cuts in front of two people (myself and SWMBO) in the premium security line in SYD, says "can I just cut in here", I respond "no you can return to the back of the line", SWMBO tells me after it was C bomb...

Hi All, I'm keen to hear any feedback from anyone using the above services. I've accumulated some wealth (and debt) over the years and have decided I want a premium banking experience. I'm currently talking with Westpac and HSBC and the "fees" are about line ball. I'm leaning towards WBC due...

Dear RedRoo, it would appear that while you may value your fur-babies, it seems that QF as a company does not, now as of 1 December ticketing date - advising us at check in tonight - that our pet is no longer welcome to travel QF by in-terminal check-in at SYD/MEL/BNE and that he now needs to be...

Dear RedRoo, Can you please advise why your reservations staff are so utterly clueless when it comes to the policy for checking in small pets for travel between SYD/BNE/MEL? Your website clearly states that our small four-legged friends can be checked in at the terminal, yet half your staff...

We're sitting on the Tarmac about to be towed back to the terminal and could be in for a long night... Tail engine U/S and A/C failed, getting hot and other two engines can't cut it apparently.

It might be just me, but in the past few months, every time I fly into BNE on a Friday night (every couple of weeks), arriving between 6:30 and 8:00pm, the flight consistently has a delayed arrival of between 30 and 45 minutes into BNE. I know they have capacity issues but this has been going...

In the past few months, almost all of my 10 sectors to/from BNE have experienced some kind of delay. Is it just my bad luck or is BAC dropping the ball? I note there is some conjecture over who is going to pay for the additional runway... Currently delays on QF551 flowing on from earlier late...

Hi All, Long time, no post. I am heading to Europe and the UK for 4 weeks in September which prompted me to look again at data roaming options. The local carries are frankly going to rip you off if you roam with your existing service. In the past, when in destinations for 7 days or more, I...

Last week I had the (dis)pleasure of flying QF J LAX-JFK after coming in from Sydney in F a week or so prior. I had a confirmed ticket in J and had allocated seat 1A some many months prior. All was fine, until at the gate I got the dreaded red light, only to be handed row 6 centre aisle seat -...

I booked a holiday well in advance flying J SYD-LAX, hoping to once again enjoy the comfort and superiority of the Qantas A380 product, only to find today my flight has been changed to a clapped-out old 744! This may be a maintenance event as it's a 744 over and back on that day. This would...

Arriving on QF32 last Sunday evening, delayed 1:26, WP travelling in F. From first bag coming out (a stream of untagged economy bags, following by sporadic business tags), finally 20 minutes later the F tag bags come out. I'm sorry, but putting my WP aside, if I'm travelling in F, I darn well...

Hi All, Long time no post. I'm wondering if any of you AFF'ers out there have been successful in receiving a JASA UUP (i.e. upgrading a JASA which books in U class to F on points)? I couldn't request online, had to call (typical of QF systems really) but the fare conditions are as if full J...

One would expect to do a survey before announcing program changes, but not Qantas. Who got the survey, and what feedback will you be providing?

This has been bugging me for ages, sometimes it comes good, but lately it hasn't been. When I access qantas.com from Internet Explorer 8, when trying to book or search for awards, I get: Request Entity Too Large A request entity is longer than the server can handle. Is this just me, or...

I'd like to know how people feel about the advent of being able to burn points for JASAs (on classic points levels) in order to achieve status... I'm in the process of doing so, and have burned 200,000 points thus far, combined with the double SC targeted promo, should put me comfortably into...

Yesterday I did SIN-SYD in J on the A380. This is a day flight. It leaves SIN in the morning and arrives SYD at night, yet I was 'not allowed' to leave my window shade open during the flight as it would 'disturb other passengers':evil:. I had one window shade open of the four adjacent to my...
