    Points vs reward seats

    Well I managed to grab 2 seats on the BA016 in prem Y in Nov to SIN. Points have gone and I have the QF reloc. Still nothing in email so tickets obviously haven’t been issued yet. I wonder how long this takes and won’t be surprised if it gets mucked up and we lose the seats. Will pay cash on...

    Points vs reward seats

    I’m a lowly bronze member sitting on over 900000 points. Spent yesterday trying to find prem Y seats SYD SIN SYD in Oct or Nov this year. Nothing available. I’m new to this. Is this normal? Can understand lack of availability in J. Just seems all these points are useless tbh!

    Article: Why Are So Many Melbourne-Sydney Flights Cancelled?

    Flights over the MELSYDMEL were routinely being consolidated due loads when I was in the IOC and I quit in 2013.

    It wouldn’t have killed them to acknowledge TN in a small part!

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    Cancelling the MELSYD sure do get cancelled because of load factor. Part of my job in the IOC was to choose the flight to be cancelled. Thank the stars I don’t work there any more. I started back in res in the TAA days and there would be panic if pax were on hold for over about 5 minutes. I...

    Reviving an old thread! Have been trying to add my card to Apple Wallet but the response I get is Safari and download this file. This is on iPhone. Has anyone had a similar response recently? I have tried several times.

    International Upgrades - the pecking order

    I used to action these when I worked there 7 years ago. It was like throwing a dart at a board to see who got it. Bear in mind this was when these upgrades first started. It was a nightmare on multi sector flts like QF001. Then someone came up with a droid that was supposed to do all this...

    Dick Smith on Foreign Booking Sites

    Exactly. I think just about all motels have their own website with a booking button. They are not difficult to find but you do have to make a conscious decision to do so because the behemoths make us harder to find.

    Dick Smith on Foreign Booking Sites

    I have a stricter cancellation policy on my booking.com bookings. My direct bookings are very flexible, so not only a cheaper price but also easier cancellations.

    Dick Smith on Foreign Booking Sites

    It's driven prices up at my establishment because I charge more on the OTA sites!! Always cheaper to book direct with me. Never happens here. My rates are non commissionable and agents are aware of that. We get very few bookings via bricks and mortor agents for mum and dad anyway. We get...

    Dick Smith on Foreign Booking Sites

    If I may chime in as a motel owner! I own and run a small country motel as a background. The video that Dick made may be a bit shouty but he is correct. It is a catch 22 situation. You really have to be on the OTA websites although I still get more bookings direct via phone, email and our...

    Qantas site a mess

    I guess this is why I haven’t received my etkt for a HKGBNE redemption in J next April. I’m worried CX may cancel if not ticketed soon. Spoke to QF online and next to useless.

    Thats really awful to hear. We have never experienced anything like that. Have always had passports returned the evening before by the cabin steward.

    Bugger! I misjudged the kid factor then. Not to worry. Yes we love the minis on this Class ship as well. Our last 3 Princess cruises have been in full suites which are wonderful.

    A Diamond in the rough.

    Great report. I was booked on this one and the following cruise but thought better of it with excess kids due to school hols! Cancelled it and came to BKK and Pattaya for a few weeks instead. I like the open air minisuite balconies on deck 9. Shame there aren't any minis on Caribe as the...

    QF2 Passengers Stranded in Dubai

    We never did this all the time I worked in the responsible area. I'd love to know who came up with the plan but to disrupt 2 lots of pax is beyond stupid. As far as Joyce getting out before disrupted pax well that is just dumb. He should have been the last one to get away.
