    Paid seat selection - how broken is it?

    I was attempting to sort out seats for my parents MEL-LHR. I selected various seats, but got into a state where I couldn't clear seats for a particular flight, so I used the back button to drop back to the landing page. Now it seems they have the seats but I cannot pay for them. I'm trying to...

    Tourists go home - a European revolt

    Having just been to Croatia. The attitude of the locals was super friendly in Zagreb (I felt the Esplanade Zagreb absolutely perfected hotel service), very friendly in Split, and friendly in the high quality but slightly off the beaten track places in Dubrovnik but unfriendly elsewhere. The Game...

    Transfers in Dubai with two kids

    Hey all, Has anyone got any advice regarding transfers from Airport to Hotel in Dubai with multiple young children? We'll have a 3 month old and 3 year old and it's proving very difficult to find anyone offering a baby capsule and even harder to get more than one seat per car. The best we've...

    Fiji - Denarau or not

    On Denaru I like the Radisson Blu but I don't think any of the resorts on Denaru have particularly great beaches, it's more about the pools. I agree on the comment about the Intercontinental, it's also in a much more beachy location and they put on a lot of activities. Having said that, I do...

    No more Sydney T3 curbside pickup

    But even priority pickup is a bit of a walk, and from Qantas' T3 it's not a very good path. If you're already walking you may as well go to the free pickup. Depends. Limo drivers registered with Sydney airport can use curbside. See Dropping Off and Picking Up | Go To and From | Sydney Airport...

    No more Sydney T3 curbside pickup

    Found this mentioned in a thread on Uber - http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/car-hire-taxis-and-limos/uber-new-pickup-parking-locations-78046.html#post1510618, but I hadn't taken note of that. I had a very ordinary experience picking up my parents from Sydney airport last...

    630,000 Qantas Points Lost - Can anyone help guide me on their reinstatement

    Could you pay a family member's bills via Qantas cash? They give you money to load the card, then you pay their bills. If it costs anything it'll be small. A wine purchase through Epiqure might be a cheapish way to do it as well. Even cheaper if the wine is bought for someone else but through...

    SC & FF points earn when buying extra seat "for comfort"?

    Has anyone received SCs for a QF comfort seat recently? Have been trying to organise one to get my wife some extra SCs but was told they only earn points. I can find references on here and ABT about them earning SCs, but difficult to find any other info from QF.

    Changes to QF Loyalty Bonus (now includes status credits)

    I received a loyalty bonus a few days after the change. I have 90 days to make a selection. This means I can make the selection in my next loyalty year. I wonder if the SCs will count towards that year? T&Cs don't appear to say anything about this situation. It may potentially be beneficial to...

    What's your Uber experience?

    That's probably true, but be aware the cars shown on the map before you book a job are only representative of the cars in the area, not the actual positions of the cars. You may already know this, but thought it was worth mentioning

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    How do you download movies to take with you?

    You didn't know them before you read my message? But using a VPN is probably a good idea. And if anyone emails you asking for money, it's probably safe to ignore them.

    QF9 is broken

    Are you still in your PJs? Haven't seen anyone wandering the FLounge looking that stylish? I'm in the restaurant down near ... err I don't remember which end.

    How do you download movies to take with you?

    Grab torrents from your favourite pirate source. Much easier than ripping them yourself. It's ridiculous how hard they make it to watch content you've paid for.

    QF9 is broken

    Arrived into Dubai ontime on VH-OQA. But on arriving at the lounge, was told the departure was delayed 3 hours. Boarded 3 hours late, sat around for an hour or so and then off the plane and back to the lounge we go. The good news is we didn't have to go through security on the way to the lounge...

    Qantas Red Planet

    I said none and got no points. Getting a bit sick of these time wasting surveys - that's the third or fourth now where I've been outside the target audience and so haven't gotten any points (even though I answered a few questions on each)

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    No you can't. Both times I've been on a QF flight number they've made a very big deal of that when entering the lounge. It was almost weird.
