I almost had a similar experience of cancelled award flights: I had a multi-city award flight for 2 people booked which utilised multiple airlines. Malaysia Airlines cancelled a flight and changed to a flight nearly 10 hours later which threw out another connecting leg. I phoned to enquire about...

It doesn't seem fair comparing the price of a pre-booked business flight from months previously, with a walk-up economy fare on the day. If they want to compare fairly, shouldn't they be comparing the walk-up economy fare, with the cost of a walk-up business fare on the day? It looks like they...

The problem is that in some cases (not just mine) the bookings do NOT seem to show the total baggage limits clearly - My upcoming Shanghai trip tells me I am allowed 1 piece of baggage (I have since confirmed this is NOT the case)... I was initially told by ticketing I would have to make a...

Well I guess if you think it is MORE generous then they are pleasing some people - my way of thinking is that I can sometimes put multiple pieces into one bag but I can't ever make the bags weigh any less with the same amount of stuff to carry :p And as I say, if not many people take advantage...

I agree that the removal of the piece system will make some people happy, including myself in some cases, my issue is that it doesn't have to be at the expensive of so many kilograms - if there are lots of people not even using the kilograms I don't think Qantas had to be so ruthless with the...

It affects everything EXCEPT the Americas ;-) And yes I used NYC as an example but only to illustrate that people (such a me) sometimes do carry that much without a freight service - but the Americas it isn't the only place people go shopping and/or share a holiday with family/friends ;-)...

I guess different people see things differently - I have often carried 3 x 30kg bags after a shopping trip and it would sometimes involve a rental car to get me to the airport - I have even done this a number of times on the NYC subway system ;-) The extra allowance is also useful if you are...

I am not sure how you can say the number of kilograms is meaningless??? With significantly less kilograms allowed there is an obvious drop in the number of bags you can carry also isn't there? I can see the benefits of a weight based system but not if means an approximate halving (or more than...

IMO, The new Qantas arrangements for all destinations (except Americas) could lead to some expensive flights if you aren't aware of the changes and they are a SIGNIFICANT DOWNGRADE in privileges - NOT a "benefit" as Qantas describes it. For example, if you were Platimum Status and were to...
