    Flexible T&C exclude peak seasons

    Making a tentative booking for QF5 / QF6 to Rome for July 2023. My experience has always been that a "Flex" fare is fully refundable if I cancel. There is nothing on the summary pages when choosing flights to indicate that this has changed, however I clicked into the fine print before paying and...

    Chasing an Invoice / eTicket

    This is both mundane and insane, but it's happening and I can't find a way through Qantas to a resolution. I booked return European flights (QF flight numbers on EK) a couple of months ago. Didn't receive an eTicket but it showed up in my app, and it all worked fine when I flew last month. I...

The $A has crashed about 20% since I booked my travel to the US. First: flight bookings through US travel website. I cancelled my trip and received a refund...

    Getting children into EK lounge?

    I've got a family holiday in a few weeks, flying EK A380 both ways but booked through Emirates out and Qantas return. I will have Gold status with each airline separately. Is there any chance of getting my two children (4 & 6) into the Emirates lounge as well as my wife?

    EK Gold denied access to QF lounge in MEL

    Hi folks, Time for my first post here after several months of lurking. I've been flying more this year, earning Skywards Gold through trips to Europe, and only a couple of weeks away from the same with Qantas (Silver last year). The code-share arrangement has been a big benefit to me, since I...
