    QR or Emirates FF Program

    Normally I am not flying Emirates out of Australia, so sometimes difficult to get the code share flights. And, you are right, they are often pricier. hmm, have had quite a few flights with EK as a QF WP but no luck with an upgrade. However, who knows in the future? So, worth remembering...

    Pax kicked off Air NZ flight for ignoring safety briefing

    yes, happened to me on a lax-mel flight. I got booted out for a passenger who had his foot in a moon boot!!! Again, along time ago, and yes, my reaction would be different now too!

    Unique and unusual travel experiences

    Interesting you should say that because I always thought what I was driving was called a Tuk Tuk. I will clarify, they are called Auto Rickshaw in the main in India, though much to my dismay that didn't mean automatic (ha ha - mine was 15 years old, pull start and very dodgy, though I repainted...

    Unique and unusual travel experiences

    Would love to do that run. I drove a rickshaw (solo - as part of Rickshaw Challenge) 2017 from Mumbai to Chennai. It was an extraordinary experience particularly the very positive interaction with locals. Lots of waving along the way (photo) and many locals wanting photos (this photo with...

    Fake status - buying QF bag tags online

    while on hold waiting for a JQ rep, I amused myself by going into Ebay. $190.00 for 4 QF gold baggage tags, and $114.00 for 4 silver QF baggage tags. Flabbergasted!

    [QF] Taxes

    Re: Taxes thank you for the answers. Flights are expensive now that Tiger is no longer flying to Denpasar. Disappointing re QF fuel surcharge and yes, I can imagine the surcharge will rise again with fuel cost increases.

    [QF] Taxes

    Just a question. February, booked flight to Denpasar from Melbourne. with QF frequent flyer points, ONE WAY. Taxes charged were over $200.00. Due to changed circumstances I cancelled and booked PAID flight with Jetstar direct for the next day. Taxes just over 100.00 return. Today, booking...

    The Tony Hancock "Are You a Self or Business Funded Flyer?" Quiz

    SO FUNNY!!! I scored 51, group 4 envy. I too am business owner, so in a way it is self funded. Perhaps I have to 'upgrade' to group 4. Decisions! ha ha

    qantas contact

    Thanks Guvner. I didn't think of that. Although I changed the dates, her page is still showing the message that one or more flights have been cancelled. So, checkmytrip was perfect showing that all is okay. Much appreciated! Soothes the nerves. :-)

    qantas upgrade cancellation question

    I was awarded an upgrade, and then cancelled it over 48 hours before flight. I accepted when the consultant said that I would lose the points as I was just trying to get all the new arrangements organised at the time. After I finished putting everything in place, I went into my frequent flyer...

    qantas contact

    Thanks for advice Sam. I was just thinking that. I have since changed the flights to another day - the extraordinary thing is that my daughters frequent flyer page is still showing a message saying that flight is cancelled, although I have organised and paid to change to another day. It is a...

    Travelling with children

    I had an adult once pummel the back of my seat for nearly the entire 11 hour flight! I complained to the person, who just turned away and completely ignored me! I complained to the fa's who said there was nothing they could do. It was a tortuous flight, and completely full, so I couldn't move...
