Now, not trying to sound like a DYKWIA, I fly weekly MEL-ADL and make a point of booking row 4 at -80 hours when it becomes available. At -2 hours I logged on to check all was well to discover I had been bumped to 6F. Now I am a large man so there is a big difference to me and I would have...

Attention Qantas! Please can someone look into fixing this issue. When you try and change a booking it shows N/A across the board (except for Business) but if you place a new booking you can see the availability. I have now been through the call centre four times to make changes to bookings...

Hi there I am holding a team dinner in Adelaide within the next fortnight. 43 people. I am looking for somewhere that will be fun and boisterous. Must have disabled access. Somewhere near North Terrace will be ideal. Options already considered (and rejected for various reasons) are North...

Every year I visit our key supplier who happens to be based in Porsgrunn, Norway. No matter which way you cut it if your fly QF it takes 36 hours door to door each way. Because my mum is in Johannesburg I use one of the legs to visit her. I also had an opportunity to spend a few days in...

I had to add another leg to a multi-city flight - something that I could not do online. Because it was short notice I had to go business so the extra flight (SYD ADL) set me back ~$1000. QF still charged me the $40 for changing the booking. This is outrageous given that I book the other 100...

In the middle of last year I was fortunate enough to be made a Royal Ambassador (the coronation ceremony was something to behold). Naturally I was quite stoked but felt it was justified given 80+ nights over 35+ stays over the previous 12 months plus another 150 nights of business brought to...

I am making my annual Aus-SA-Norway run and have option of SAA via Perth of Qantas via Sydney (I live in Melbourne). The question is this - I really do not like the Qantas 747 sloped J beds - will SAA J be better? Cheers

I stay at the IC in ADL every week (and have been doing so for some time). The Docomo internet system is the worst system I have ever used and that includes some fairly dodgy establishments in SE Asia. Is it just in ADL or do other FFs find it bad elsewhere?

So, after 92 flights this year with exactly the same cabin bags (Samsonsite 4 wheeler and a small laptop backpack), I was taken to task by the FA before boarding ADL-MEL flight today. This was the first time I have been questioned in this run of some 200 flights between MEL and ADL. I was...

I regard the best perk of being WP is to be able to snag the exit rows when booking. I travel every week and am 6'3" in the old scale and very large on any scales. I always fly 737s (MEL-ADL-MEL run) and dread the late change of aircraft which randomly relegates my prized exit row to just...

I travel weekly and stay at the Adelaide Intercontinental. Next week I will be making my 50th visit and am being rewarded with the Presidential Suite. Pity that the Baroness is not accompanying me.

I had the joys of traveling to Skien in Norway for business. 36.5 hours door to door was concluded with booking into the best hotel (must be true tripadvisor said so - 1 of 6) in Skien. After checking in I went to my room to find the skinniest two beds I have ever seen (may have been narrower...

I did the bucket list thing and spent 60,000 points to upgrade from J to F MEL to LHR on the A380. Now I travel Y every week on the long haul between MEL and ADL and only do one international trip a year and have only done PE for the past few trips so J was going to be a step up. And so, on to...

I had a QF J booking Mel-Lhr-Copenhagen-Osl-Lhr-Jhb-Syd-Mel booked some time ago. Circumstances changed and now the Copenhagen leg is out. Problem is now that there is a $2,000 saving due to new fares. Could this be easily done? No - three calls to WP line over the day and about 2 hours of...

I am a WP who flies QF every week. Have already clocked up WP for the year and still have 5 1/2 months to go. I wouldn't mind trying Virgin but would want a comparable experience - exit row seat selection on booking, valet, lounge. Do you reckon Virgin would make a plan?

Hi there I am looking for a new driver/company to do the ADL airport to city (and return two days later) run on a weekly basis. Current arrangement had me stranded at the airport on Monday evening with no forewarning or alternative arrangements. Stranded not quite the right word as I just...
