    Heathrow Transit - T3 to T5

    apologies if this has already been discussed. I am on QF1 into Heathrow, hopefully at around 6.30am on 8 November, with a transit before a BA flight to Dublin. The BA flight leaves T5 at around 13.30 and I'm hoping this is enough time for the transit bearing in mind QF1's atrocious delays. I am...

    Qantas Facebook page

    Morning from a chilly Canberra, I've been monitoring the Qantas Facebook page recently and have noticed more and more what I consider to be creepy responses to posts by females. They usually ask for a friend request to be sent or for a DM to ask a confidential question. You can see what I mean...

    Flight Centre refunds for cancelled flights

    We booked and paid Flight Centre for J flights on Qatar last September, for next August. Have cancelled them as it was too risky to take our trip. Our flights have gone from the Qatar manage booking site and we're not sure if FC has received the refund from them. Obviously FC is swamped at the...

    Qantas seems to have announced my death!

    I just logged into my Qantas Club membership to check something and noticed a message that says my club membership will expire on 18 Feb 2040! I've been a life member since 1990 so assume Qantas knows when I'm going to leave this mortal coil. Has anyone else received the same message...
