    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Love the idea levelnine but in reality would not expect Qantas to ever provide that sort of transparency based on history!

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    I fail to see why boarding early is such a critical requirement to getting your reserved seat on a flight??? I prefer to be the last to board and often wait in the Lounge for 5 minutes after the final boarding call. That way I get to walk up to the boarding gate unobstructed, scan my pass and...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    A cynical attempt by Qantas to hose down the anger that has arisen because they have taken on millions more Frequent Flyers but not provided the appropriate additional numbers of award flights that it should be their responsibility to do to be fair to their members. Only Qantas are the Winners...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    I could not agree more Melburniun as IMO I look on tatoos as filthy and would certainly would never stay in the close proximity of anyone smoking (for health reasons). I also look at appropriate dress regulations as showing pride and responsibility - so little of which is shown in most places...

    Superannuation Advice Australia - heard of them/are they any good?

    Just read your message and I can absolutely recommend Calder Wealth Management of Adelaide as I have been with them for about 15 years now and their fees are low and their returns are consistently good. I have recently moved to the Gold Coast and their wonderful service continues there, albeit...

    Woolworths Credit Card NO longer earning QF points

    I, like other retired folk here, hate the Macquarie card but am unable to get another Visa card. I tried to get a Velocity Visa but the dudes in the Philippines said I was unsuitable for more reasons than I care to repeat albeit I always pay my two credit cards in full before the due date and...

    Retired credit card options - approval rate/banks

    I'm 12 years retired and recently tried to get a Virgin CC but they rejected me on the basis of no salary even though I have never failed to pay off my other CCs on time always. It's tough when you're a retiree as nothing seems to satisfy a CC application.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    I don’t understand all the fuss about boarding early? My wife and I always hang back and like to be last to board. We also like to have next to no carry on luggage and we put almost everything in our stowed cases.

    Red Planet Portal Points Earned

    I am 75 years old and get about one survey a week but after I add my age they say "you are screened out"! so I rarely get to complete a survey these days. Obviously they don't want 'old' people doing their surveys because their input is not valued?

    QF cough about cabin bags

    The excess bags should have been taken off and put in with checked in luggage. These inconsiderates need to be made an example of!

    Overbooked flight - laughable compensation offered to be offloaded

    WOW, 175 Velocity points! That would buy you 3/4 of a Kilo of bananas at a cheap fruit shop.Why are Virgin so generous?

    QF cough about cabin bags

    And if all passengers took this attitude and carried an extra .5 to 1 Kg of carry on, what would that do to the safety of the aircraft. Well done Qantas for enforcing the rules and keeping us all safe albeit it long overdue.
