    Qantas Business Awards Website Failure

    Hi all, Nice to be back posting and browsing here more often after a grounded two years. Last year I finally got around to joining QBR with my own small company. I am now needing to make first company bookings. Obviously want to take advantage of latest promo plus possibly fare discounts...

    Is ORC a thing with Virgin

    Newly minted VA plat (via status match) here and have been doing a few bookings with VA to try things out. I deliberately recently booked MEL-CBR-OOL and return as it was no more expensive than direct and I figured I could sample the CBR VA lounge and earn a couple of extra sectors and SCs for...

    US government shutdown

    Here is an interesting dilemma: I’m in NYC currently and am due to go down to DC on Sunday for four days. The sole reason for this trip was to visit attractions which will now be closed thanks to this epic failure in Congress. Travel insurance experts: what chance do you think I have of...

    New status retain outreach?

    So my anniversary is Jan 31. I woke today to the following email. Anyone else seen this? When they were offering 120 000 points in exchange for retain I thought they were spelling that out in the email? Does this mean I would be able to negotiate something else or even a freebie? The annoying...

    Melbourne Terminal 1

    A small issue I know but on my weekly visits to T1 I'm shocked everytime that the big signage on the outside of the building is still the 1984 qantas logo and font. It's been TEN YEARS since the last one came in and now we have another (I note by the way, that Sydney T3 has had all its signage...

    Stormy clouds?

    This is doing the rounds on the internet. I have no idea of it's credibility but anyone who has followed the Virgin story the past 24 months would not find it hard to believe... Anyone with thoughts or further information? Virgin Australia is facing a “severe cash flow crisis” with “very...

    Change to Red E-Deal rules??

    Brains trust: I have a booking for next week that is a return MEL-BNE with both legs red e-deals. I want to change the outbound flight to a few days later. When I log on and try to do this the website is throwing up an error and saying I must change both directions. The specific wording is...

    Strange seat selection issue

    Here's one for the brains trust that I haven't encountered before... Was sorting some bookings for my folks who are both very NB. Checked some info about booking while logged into my fathers account (he made the booking). I figured while I was logged in that I should select from the very...

    OOL Disembarking Ramp?

    Flew into OOL this evening and they have acquired a ridiculous monstrosity for disembarking sometime in the last month. Similar to the ramp bridges trialled in Tassie at one stage (not sure if they still have them). Plastered with Qantas logos, certainly better for elderly folks and will keep...

    JQ expansion - with props!?

    Press conference in Auckland shortly with NZ Prime Minister, Transport Minister and Alan Joyce. Rumour is Jetstar to announce a prop service in NZ to take on Air NZ domestically on monopoly routes with currently parked surplus Q300 Qantaslink aircraft. Apparently to be crewed by Eastern staff in...

    QF Orders more planes!

    Can't believe this has gone unreported by the media or even mentioned here but in the year where everything is supposedly so bad and at a time they claim they are too broke to purchase any new aircraft for international, Qantas quietly announced last week it has restructured and added to its...

    Hey Folks, Does anyone know if you've had a Jet* booking made for you as just as starter fare if you can go into the manage your booking and pay for a plus bundle to earn status credits etc after the original fare has been booked?

    Qantas website no longer showing JQ options??

    Hi All, Long time reader - first time poster. Has anyone else noticed the QF website no longer lists JQ flights on the same route? Just struck me when going to book some BNE-MEL services. Wonder what the reasoning behind that is??
