    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    I paid $12.5k for J return SYD LHR. Came home Sat morning on QF2. LHR lounge was a disgrace - packed, long lines to get into the toilets, little to no food, stingy with the drinks, people standing. The flight was understaffed in J and they were obviously sick on duty, coughing and spluttering...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    Update - after another 2 hours on the phone finally sorted. Struck a consultant this morning who looked at the case notes and the EK boarding passes and immediately credited the DSC and points to my wife and my accounts. I sense a general reluctance to make a decision when dealing with the QF...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    I'm going to kill someone soon - booked SYD-CHC-SYD J on the DSC offer. QF139 outbound was cancelled by QF, they then put me on EK 7 hours later, so I missed my first nights' accom and transport plus had to do taxis back home and back to SAP again. Out of pocket $500, but that's not the issue...

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    Could give them passes but haven't been able to link all week, doubt it was the 24 hour rule but thanks for the heads up.

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    My elderly parents are flying OOL to MEL tomorrow, but I can't link the passes I gave them. Not QLD school holidays so...?

    Qantas Covid 19 cancelations

    I cancelled 2 x J SYD-LHR return paid for by QF Platinum MSC. They hadn't refunded by due date so I paid the MSC o QF advice. Next day they refunded. Now I have $18k CR on MSC but can't contact them - urgent calls only. It hangs up after 30 minutes anyway. I'm ok, I can get by without the money...

    Double SC for all! (Book until midnight 6th Mar, Travel Mar 2017 - Feb 19, 2018)

    I have both wife and my registration confirmation emails safely filed in the Inbox, so there's no argument. It's just annoying that I have to sit on a phone and follow it up.

    Double SC for all! (Book until midnight 6th Mar, Travel Mar 2017 - Feb 19, 2018)

    I haven't seen any DSC from my flights back in March - 3 x domestic Y that were for travel in Mar-Apr. Then I also booked a J SYD-LHR return for September. And the same for my wife. I don't actually need the Y DSC for my WP renewal in August. But it's the principle of the matter. Do we have...

    Double SC for all! (Book until midnight 6th Mar, Travel Mar 2017 - Feb 19, 2018)

    I was SYD-LHR-SYD in September this year. Booked J and that's WP until 31/08/2019 taken care of!

    HBA route massive failure with B717s

    Just not sure what the exact cause is - lately it's been mechanical reliability. BTW, I just noticed that the midday QF back is US now. It's just relentless!

    HBA route massive failure with B717s

    What the hell is going on with the HBA schedule? The swap to the B717 seems to have been a massive failure with now daily delays of an hour or more inbound and outbound from SYD and MEL. We have suffered plane failures in MEL and HBA with flights cancelled and other long engineering delays. I...

    First Class A380 Boarding

    Board with Y-class - half the fun of F-class is the lining up with the rest and the special treatment at the cabin door.

    Qantas Business Travel - combining JQ and QF bookings - don't do it.. ever.

    Thanks Markis, I tried that but the JQ flight still won't allow check-in. No button shows but they are there for the QF legs.

    Qantas Business Travel - combining JQ and QF bookings - don't do it.. ever.

    I book all my travel through QBT and it works pretty well up until I did a combined booking JQ to HBA and QF back to SYD a couple of weeks ago. It quoted the usual price for a JQ Plus Bundle down to HBA on JQ721 and so I assumed that it was just that, but it wasn't until I completed the booking...

    Upgrade confirmed in morning, but cancelled on check-in

    A similar thing happened to me over Christmas MEL-CHC. The J upgrade appeared in my booking but I never got the upgrade text and the J entry disappeared from my booking day before I was due to fly. The original Y booking then came back in. I didn't count my chickens and as it turned out they...

    Travel etiquette

    I travel every week and switched to a small duffle bag a year ago. Packs the same as a cabin trolley bag, I can carry it in front of me and not smack people in the face or catch it on the seats and it can squeeze in anywhere where a cabin bag. I leave my trainers and bath bag at the interstate...

    That's correct.

    Double Status Credits 2013

    Exactly. Coming at it from with an I.T. background and knowing that it's probably all 1980's mainframe-based stuff, I would say that they have a systems job scheduled to run in batch overnight on 31st January which will process everything in one go.
