Not sure if this is the right place, but I have a query on the EU passenger rights stuff. Daughter booked a flight some time ago LHR-SIN-BNE in J. Flight has been cancelled (as thousands are these days) and SQ are refusing to rebook her on a flight unless she pays more money. I know this has...

We are flying on Fijian next week and want to use the F lounge in Sydney. I know Mr FM and I are OK, as we booked the Qantas code share, but we are travelling with two friends and I have just had a rather confusing conversation with her, but at the end of it I rather think they booked on the FJ...

Many times over the years I have booked a (paid) J or F international flight with Qantas. Where timings work, I try to book into Business for the CBR-SYD legs (increasingly hard to do as most flights are all economy). Quite often as departure date approaches there is an equipment change and it...

Well it probably shouldn’t have been unexpected, but having given up the status game I don’t really keep track of it anymore. Also the general wisdom is Qantas doesn’t give many status credits on partner flights. However it appears our recent trip to JFK with Qatar brought in 640 status...

We wanted to go to the States for Master FM’s birthday. However having had some expensive trips recently, the travel budget was looking rather threadbare. We decided it was time to give F the boot and experience the fun of travelling Qsuites out of Canberra. Not a very exciting trip report...

I know Aus is a high cost country, but it seems bizarre it is cost effective to fly the 717s to Singapore and back to get heavy maintenance done! Qantas contractors in Canberra out of work as jobs move to Singapore

Booked our Antarctica trip about this time last year, in a rush with little planning - very unusual for me. We wanted to have a trip with Ms FM and her husband. I gave her a few choices and for some bizarre reason included Antarctica, and even more bizarrely she chose it. Not that there is...

Have been checking prices for a Qatar trip to New York in business. Was getting around $8850 and that seemed quite reasonable, so gave the details to my friendly TA to book. He couldn’t get it as cheap as that and asked me for a screenshot. Had been using my IPad, but decided to go and do it...

I have been holding off on starting this, as I thought it was too soon, but no can't wait any longer. :) :) We are off on the 6th September and given most of this was booked early June 2017, its been a long long wait. Even booking that early, we struggled to get accommodation at the Giraffe...

Ok Brains Trust. South America is totally new territory for me. Have booked an Antarctica cruise for 4 of us and it appears to come with a nights accommodation in Santiago. That seems to suggest flying either QF or Lan. It would be in business class. Any ideas as to which is better in J or...

yes that's what I thought - maybe I should call her Ms :)

I am busy planning Miss FM's honeymoon (not sure why me, but apparently she feels I will do a good job:)). Anyway some months ago I booked J awards for them Mel-lax and now am looking at adding paid segments. So some questions 1. I gather from reading on here that electronic processing...

i am quoting this post in order to demonstrate the problem I am having. My quotes come out looking wierd. It is almost as though pointers the software is using internally to pick up the quoted text are being displayed. It used to work fine. Anyone else have this problem? Seems to have...

Off on Monday and an essential part of packing is to start the trip report. After a busy and adventurous year last year (edge of Vic Falls and Balloon rides in Cappadocia) this year has been the boring year of R&R. After time in Port Douglas and Fiji earlier in the year we are carrying on the...

This trip happened unexpectedly, because a girl friend of Miss FM wanted to go on a minitrip to Fiji. Miss FM wasn’t keen, because she had been to Fiji before but after months of hassling she gave in. Unfortunately the day after she booked the tickets, the (now Ex) friend decided not to go...

Sorry if this is a dumb question :(. I have done a bit of a search and can't find anything. I am booking J awards for Miss Fm and her future husband for next July. I have booked two J awards CBR-MEL-Lax and there appeared to be no points difference for the CBR-MEL bit. I am hoping to book the...

Being a control freak from way back, I like to use Qantas website and do all my bookings there. Now that I am dipping a toe in the SQ pool, I went off to the singapore air website and started playing with some dates. I was looking at a simple multicity - syd to lax, then lax- sin and sin to...

You have no idea! To put it into context Mr FM and I had 10 guests at our wedding, only 5 of whom were invited - the other 5 were his family who invited themselves. Bridezilla has 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen and is busy planning a wedding in the Blue Mountains in gardens which have nothing...

OK need to have a rant :). I tend to buy business class airfares for Miss FM and her partner - she is a bit fragile healthwise and I like to make sure she is comfortable. In January I paid for business class airfares CBR- AKL. She ended up flying 3 of the 4 legs in Economy due to a range of...

So Master FM let me know today that he will be able to come home late November for a week. Immediately hopped onto Qantas to look at fares - cheapest business class is around $18,000! I think he will be flying PE this time! However I booked a fare for him to come home at Christmas last year...
