    Delayed Baggage

    Just adding on here rather than starting a new thread. So flew Virgin Melbourne-Queenstown and bags didn’t show up. There was about 12 of us affected. The virgin lady at baggage services said we could be compensated $50/day. But I’ve found no references to that amount on the Virgin website...

    Jetstar cancellation due crewing

    That makes sense. We have booked with Luxury Escapes and they (and the hotel), have been so good and sorted out the change in dates at no extra cost. Something is working!

    Jetstar cancellation due crewing

    U Unfortunately no- I have TI but cancellations due crewing is not covered- you have to chase the airline for faults within their control. Seems to be common exclusion amongst insurers

    Jetstar cancellation due crewing

    So we have been looking forward to a trip to Bali to unwind. Today, at 4.42am I received an email from Jetstar : “Due to crewing requirements your flight JQ110 28/04/2019 from Perth to Denpasar has been cancelled.” Flight was meant to depart at 7.25am. I can’t understand how a crewing issue was...

    Clothing and footwear in snowy and icy regions

    I’d recommend buying over there- the quality is so much better, the variety is fantastic and the prices are far cheaper than buying the same thing in Australia. We always travel over on the flight wearing jeans and closed in shoes (now a pair of nikes bought in Geneva on a previous trip that...

    Which is your preferred airline across the Tasman? [of QF, NZ or VA]

    Have only ever flown J from PER to ZQN and made sure to choose VA for their a330 across to the east, then awesome Air Nz lounge, then VA across to ZQN. It’s a short trans Tasman flight so business not as lush as a330 but VA staff and service were always fantastic and memorable- really friendly...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Thanks! Yes have an ANZ card already- it’s a good deal and no annual card fee for first year Broome...so cheapest flight anywhere is over $200 one way. Problem is work books the discount fares (earning 15 SC instead of 30 each way), so accumulating SC is now harder. I fly just over 20 times...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Thanks for both those suggestions! - still spending ~$200 one way to get the 10 SC :eek:. Are there any non flight offers just to get these 10 SC? Not sure if this is the right thread... Also have a few QF flights booked between now and then but alas they are work trips and can’t be upgraded...

The earlier airnz direct flight gets into Auckland at...
