    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    I used the Bankwest Platinum debit card in Europe over Easter. No fees and the exchange rate was very competitive.

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    All sorted. Ticket issued yesterday. I asked them not to charge the change fee and they agreed. Unfortunately my selected seat is gone, but I'm just happy to be able to fly tomorrow.

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Made 2 calls last night but could only get through to Suva. They were very helpful but confirmed that they couldn't see the notes. They did email Hobart whilst on the phone but after 30 minutes of waiting received no response. This morning I've checked my booking on the Qatar site and it's now...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    She actually told me to only talk to Hobart about this issue as the other call centres won't have the notes on their system

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    I made a change to a ticket today. I managed to get a QF seat released in business from LHR to Mel. My first flight is due to leave Mel on Thursday on QR. The ticket wasn't ticketed over the phone but I was assured that it would be monitored throughout the day given the tight QR ticketing...

    Doha during Ramadan

    Just realised that I land into Doha on the second day of Ramadan. It's my first visit and will only be there for 3 days. Staying at the Alwadi Hotel MGallery. I don't plan on cancelling this part of my trip but just wanted to know of any personal experiences on how Ramadan positively or...

    Points not deducted for reward booking

    I've checked and its there. Confirmed and all with ticket numbers. I think I'll leave it as is. I've paid the taxes. If they audit at any point, I have the points in my account for them to deduct.

    Points not deducted for reward booking

    I made changes to an award booking around 6 weeks ago - QR and BA. I know that QR tickets need to be issued straight away so I stressed that point to the operator. Luckily I received a ticket 30 minutes later. The flights are still listed as confirmed on both my QF and QR accounts, I have chosen...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I recently made some changes to my booking. Most segments are on Qatar so i asked for them to be reticketed straight away. I fortunately received my new ticket within the hour. This was 4 weeks ago. Taxes were paid but they haven't taken the extra points from my account yet. Should I be worried...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Once I start a OWA, if I choose to make changes half way through the trip, will points still be capped at the award rate (if within all of the rules) or will the extra legs be charged at the full rate?

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Fingers crossed you get something. Going by my experience and the alert that I set up, it looks as if Qantas are indeed releasing a number of seats at a given time. In the morning there were no seats for the whole month of April but at 3.30 pm there were more than 10 business seats across random...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I actually think they were released. When I got the alert there were around 10 business seats and a number of premium seats from either Melbourne and Sydney across the month of April.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I've had a very average experience with qantas these past few weeks. I booked QR business class award seats to London over Easter. I booked these as soon as they were released knowing this would be a busy time to travel. QR cancelled my flight 2 weeks ago and put me on a flight 2 days later...

    Where are the awards?

    yes, the other 2 are not QF.

    Where are the awards?

    I agree on the above. I do much prefer QR over QF, but the only benefit for me would be to earn status credits being a points plus member. Also, adding another airline to my ticket (QF) would turn it into a RTW award so there would be some points savings and also less tax than on QR. To be...

    Where are the awards?

    Yes, I did manage to get seats with QR. But my point was that QF have not released ANY J class seats on QF metal according to the QF rep that I spoke to.

    Where are the awards?

    I tried to get seats to the UK on QF over Easter. I started looking months ago and couldn't find anything on QF in J. I spoke to an agent and she said it was strange as QF hadn't realised any award seats on the flights I was looking at. With QF confirming flights will not going via Sydney and...
