Yes, you'll have to get back there some time! I do have a soft spot for Botswana. Enjoy the game park time and the whole trip - Tsamaya Sentle (go well!)

Hi RooFlyer! How did you get on with this? Sorry not to have written sooner, nor do I have a great idea(!), but was keen to ask as it captured my attention with the Botswana link. I lived there some time ago as a youngster - family still knows a couple of friends there. Not sure how easy it is...

My 'generous' wish would be that it's not lying, but certainly poor training. Qantas randomly sent me a ticket change recently, moving my domestic flight forward by 2 days! I rang up (guessing SA) and was told my flight couldn't be changed, there was no availability, but I would be given food...

Slightly 'better luck', although certainly mixed experiences. I had an agent recently on the phone find something in the afternoon but unable to see many morning options. Oddly the one they ended up giving me in the afternoon was the one showing as most expensive via Velocity points - I would...

Yes - sage advice! :) I didn't necessarily see it as 'the word of a random' when I took the plunge based on ideas here earlier in the year on CMW shares. Thankfully I'm an incredibly small player, so not much lost, but it certainly hasn't been a fun watch! I'm wondering if I can hang on long...

Discovered by accident recently that this worked still for the Platinum, but also for the Edge. I cleared history and refreshed and went from just 'fee free' for year 1, to 'fee free plus 15,000 points'. Happy days!

Have you had any success making contact? I had a positive experience with an agent earlier in the year. Looking back at my Skype record it seems to have been via calling 787-1800-2842-622. That might be one you've tried but thought it worth mentioning in case. Much to my surprise the agent on...

I wonder if anything came of this for you? I tried to apply for one via the website, only for it to say I couldn't get one. Live chat seemed to know about it but said I need to ring. So I ring and they told me it wasn't available? Confusing!

Sadly so drron :( My parents are in Singapore as we speak - a lifemiles trip at least 3-4 years in the making (a covid cancellation at one point). It has been hard work to say the least to make it happen! Relieved they are this far and looking forward to some great tales of Africa and Europe in...

Thanks for that link and info - a great resource for travelling QF. Our travel had involved a number of non QF trips as well where we defaulted to BYO, but this is super for the next time we find ourselves on Qantas - thank you :)

Noticed this thread due to travelling last year with children with anaphylaxis - somewhat nervy! It is a real shame if, as Pushka has said, that due to legal scenarios, ingredients aren't displayed. We found it very hit and miss. Multiple times on Qantas flights one meal option would have the...

The lack of availability is certainly frustrating :( Just bear in mind some options raised in this thread for keeping miles alive if that's the main incentive here (assuming there will be value later in keeping them!) All the best!

A rare opportunity for me to add to this thread so thought I'd jump in! This was on OOL-CBR yesterday, not two meals for me but one each for my wife and I ;) Both impressed with the meal - I had the cajun chicken sandwich (nice spice) and the other a risotto salad? I think a sweet treat (e.g...

Unfortunately this, to me, is a limitation of the Priority Pass program in regards to communication, particularly when there are different rules in different places. I had a lounge agent tell me recently it was ok to bring the kids in without charge, but then got charged later! Upon contacting...

Well, eventually the charges showed up on Amex - I ended up calling to check after two days of still not seeing them and the agent said he could see them, they were just going through the full checking process! Funny to feel so relieved to see charges appear on a credit card statement :)...

Thanks - will do!

Amazingly I've redeemed quite a number of LM points for my parents over the last 24hrs or so! Now I'm trying to remember... is there ever a ticketing issue with these redemptions, (e.g. like Qantas's ticketing problems I've endured over the past year on multi city tickets?) It's just that...

A nice surprise indeed sudoer! The timing you mention is a bit longer than my international spend in NZ took, though that was still a couple of weeks... which is why I was going to suggest CaptainCurtis wait to see if it comes through, but might be too late for that? (I didn't get an email to...

Thanks for raising this and for some helpful comments that have been made around phoning in etc. I hadn't thought of that and hadn't realised why the availability from CBR has been so hard to find (ie. the Qantaslink thing). I'm sure a couple of years ago I did indeed redeem Avios on the BA site...

I really do hope the news article linked above comes true and best wishes to those waiting. We picked up a passport for one of our kids this morning - two days before departure!! We'd lodged the application with 3 others at the same time in April, which all came a month ago. Was getting a bit...
