    Clarification of phone booking fee application

    Hi all Just a clarification question. Is it correct that QF waives the telephone booking fee when it is not possible to book something online? Or is it only when the possibility exists and the online channel is broken that the fee is waived? I booked a classic award over the phone and was...

    Seat squatting in Exit Row Seats on International Flights

    I had an experience once which i think may have been a one off but should be made part of the FA boarding process. I was unsuccessful in getting a points updgrade from Y to J and was unfortunately in the middle rows. Im nothing special, just Gold, but the FA came around and asked for me and...

    Qantas really testing the market! SYD-MEL now $145 standard red e-deal!

    Absolutely true, however the post suggested that the SYD-BNE-SYD travel was more a commute to and from work by personal preference instead of work related travel, for which i would expect the company to pay for every time.

    Qantas really testing the market! SYD-MEL now $145 standard red e-deal!

    Travel to and from work is not a deductible expense.

    Qantas really testing the market! SYD-MEL now $145 standard red e-deal!

    Reality is that AU is quite an expensive place at the moment. As someone who lives overseas and gets back every 6 months or so, it has become so much more expensive in all sorts of areas. There really needs to be something to lance the boil of cost. I dont see that $145 lowest airfares are...

    Thanks for these suggestions. It looks like i might try for points legs for the longer parts and then buy the internals. Ill let the board know if there are any interesting things that come up!

    Typical waiting times for price promise?

    Price promise is almost fraudulent IMO. I was researching a flight and called up the call centre to work out if the fare i could see on flightcentre.com was valid. He told me unconditionally that it was and that i should take a screen shot of the fare i could see then and submit that as my...

    Price promise problem/dissatisfaction

    Hi All I have a problem with QF and the price promise system. I made a booking about 3 months ago now, and identified a flight that was cheaper on a non QF website. I called the call centre as I didnt quite understand how it worked, and their advice on the call at the time was yes that...

    What's Your Favourite Flight?

    For me QF108. Get to JFK in the afternoon, a little time in the airport, takeoff and then a quiet flight across to LAX with enough time for dinner and a movie. LAX is LAX, but then get onto 108 to SYD and doze off right away. ZZZ right through the night and land in the morning after an extra...

    No good about the flight but congrats on the SCs. I am taking it myself in about 3 weeks, fingers crossed!! Enjoy the hotel till your flight. It might be a benefit in disguise - call the centre if you can to see if you can get the status 'forced' through and then you can get the magic...

    SCs posting for LAN flights

    On the checkin for the QF flight (QF28), I beleive they have the lines that we are used to for QF. For the LAN flights (including in my experience the codeshare operated by LAN (QF322), they use the standard LAN lines. This has a line for Comodoros (eq to WP) and often does not include the...
