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

    This may be the wrong thread to ask this in - I (Bronze) have 2xJ OWA booked for Feb/Mar (HBA-MEL-DOH-BCN / MAD-LHR / LHR-HEL / HEL-DOH-MEL-HBA) on a mix of QF, QR, IB and AY. Ideally I would prefer to fly MAN-HEL instead of LHR-HEL. When booking online it wouldn't let me book this route (I...

    New SQ J seats a shocker

    When do bulkhead seats usually open up for non-elites? I'm 6'7 with massive flippers and flying SQ288 and SQ362 in about a week and want to try and snag a bulkhead!

    Contact Centre mistake on award taxes and surcharges

    Thanks again for all the advice - I called again and they refused to do anything (again). Thankfully I found some SQ J awards on a similar route/day so got Qantas to cancel the ticket (they waived the cancel fees). Overall I'm still 5k points in the hole from the initial change fee but I have...

    Contact Centre mistake on award taxes and surcharges

    Thanks for the advice - I've been hounding them via SM all day and they are outright refusing to do anything about it. They are very firm that I am responsible for the full cost of the fees and taxes on the ticket, regardless of what I was told on the phone (which they have acknowledged was an...

    Contact Centre mistake on award taxes and surcharges

    Hey all, I'm looking for advice (also kind of want a rant haha) on how to proceed following the QF Contact Centre stuffing up a change to a J award booking. Apologies to those who don't like dot points - I find it the easiest way to structure my thoughts. In May I made a J award booking...

    How should AFF receive new poster "rants"......

    I think we also need to be understanding that many people would use emotive language if $5k unexpectedly left their bank account with no notice or permission, and that the line between "stole" and "overcharged" is pretty slim at times!

    Virgin Australia overcharged me $4500

    I don’t post much on AFF but do lurk reasonably frequently. I sent this thread to a couple of non-forum regulars to get their view on OP’s post and the subsequent commentary – thought some of you might be interested to hear what some outsiders thought of the behaviour – because for AFF to...

    Indian Visa application - What size photograph?

    I got an indian e-visa a couple of weeks ago and a digital pic of my face taken on my phone against a white wall was sufficient!

    Cancelling an award flight

    off-topic but what is a reasonable expectation for how long it will take a non-AU office to process the cancellation? I cancelled an ex-ZRH award last week and want to use those points towards a J award before it disappears...

    Are two legs of a multi-city ticket protected?

    Hi there - I want to travel HEL-HBA in early January on points (in J if that matters). Unsurprisingly, when I try and book it as a single one-way flight there are no results. However, I've been playing around with the multi-city booking tool and can find award space flying HEL-NRT-MEL-HBA with...

    Qantas - Sorry But I Am Over You

    So many people in this thread saying "I am fine calling people this" need to get off their high horses and realise that there are other people in the world who are not fine with it. Are you actually offended when people call you "parents"? Are you actually offended when people refer to your...

    Qantas - Sorry But I Am Over You

    Also is the OP suggesting that Qantas language policy be based on what a three year old thinks?

    Qantas - Sorry But I Am Over You

    1. It's not hypocrisy - as far as I'm aware Leigh Clifford is, in fact, a Chairman 2. How are Qantas (or anyone else for that matter) meant to know that you are married? Using language that treats you exactly the same as every other couple takes nothing away from your relationship.

    Qantas - Sorry But I Am Over You

    Joyce hasn't told anyone to say anything. Staff have been asked to use language that is respectful to everyone. If having crew refer to you as a 'partner' instead of husband and wife, or 'parents' instead of mum and dad gets you so upset you change your flying habits I suspect you should think...

    VA138 SYD-CHC J experiences

    Flew MEL-CHC and return last week - Andyhui01 is right with his comments. AirNZ lounge in SYD is pretty nice - if you're also doing J on the return don't expect much from the international Koru Club lounge at CHC - in desperate need of a refit IMHO
