    Contact Centre Madness = Unnacceptable

    Had the same problem about a month ago. Seriously sucks. If they can't cope then they need to train and put on more staff The cranky lot had cancelled call-backs and "chat" back in January. I'm seriously "over" Qantas and their arrogance.

    Qantas club on sale

    Re Qantas Double-up Sale. Has anyone heard any gossip if there may be a similar offer for existing members? This offer is no use to current members. I see there is no mention of a joining fee either which is unusual. Anyone know anything?

    Sydney - Contactless Payments at Opal readers now available

    This has been available for a while. I used my Credit Card for travel from the airport into Circular Quay and then onto a Ferry as well as other train trips last September (2018) as I had forgotten to bring my Opal Card - left it home in N Qld so I was very happy to see the notices in the...

    Qantas Complimentary Lounge passes

    Sorry folks, this isn't strictly on topic but perhaps someone can help. My question is re the 2 (electronic version) complimentary Qantas Lounge passes that go with the ANZ Frequent Flyer Black credit card. Can these passes be gifted to relatives/friends flying with Qantas or are they tied...

    Melbourne airport parking - Pickup Options

    We have a great service in Townsville called FIFO. We have lodged one of our spare keys with them permanently and now drive into the airport short term parking, leave $5 on the seat of the car (or somewhere else inconspicious) and go get on our plane. They come and pick it up, take it away and...

    AAdvantage Miles Purchase/Transfer Discounts & Bonus Offers

    I note that the number of points SYD/HKG First Class is exactly the same a Business TSV/SYD + SYD/HKG First C;cough which makes the spend of 50,000 points per person even better. I had a look and availability for 2 people is good around Dec/Jan but when is it likely AA will do a better deal with...

    PJs and using on flights

    If travelling F on Emirates or Etihad I find there is enough privacy in the suite to change without going into the bathroom/toilets.

    Qantas vs Emirates status and f/f points?

    Thanks again, you've helped me make up my mind with the "brainstorming". Think we will bite the bullet and pay the extra to Qantas. Merry Xmas and a Happy Travel Year to you for 2018. Over and out.

    Qantas vs Emirates status and f/f points?

    Thank you for helping. No, they wouldn't but obviously they would help. Guess hardly anyone knows what flights they will be taking when travel is not for business. I could make gold during 2018, just depends what holidays we take later in the year - nothing planned yet.

    Qantas vs Emirates status and f/f points?

    Hello All, I can pay approx $12,000 to Qantas for a First Class fare SYD/DXB and get status points and F/F points but if I book thru Emirates web site I can travel First Class all the way from SYD to St Petersburg for approx $2000 less with no QF status points just F/F points. Do you expert...

    How many sectors?

    I need to redeem velocity points for a First Class flight DME/SYD on Etihad 68/454 for a date next year for which bookings have not yet opened and don't wish to phone Virgin because I might get an answer I don't want. It would seem Flight 68 DME/AUH has no First available and only business...

    Pyjamas in FCL on Emirates long-haul daytime flights?

    Thanks GoldCanyon340. That would be awesome. I'm hoping for one of their straw coloured bags too that all my goodies came in last time. Maybe that's what you refer to as a "tote bag"?

    Pyjamas in FCL on Emirates long-haul daytime flights?

    Ahh. Thank you flyingfan. We just travelled SYD/AKL and didn't even consider we would get some but that is a very short flight. I gather the key word is "Ask"?

    Pyjamas in FCL on Emirates long-haul daytime flights?

    Hello, Hope one of the knowledgeable people on the forum will be able to tell me the answer to this: Briefly we are booked on Emirates 415 Sydney/Dubai on a Sunday. It leaves at 6am and we will certainly wish to sleep after rising at about 2.30am, BUT will Emirates give us PJ's on what is...

    Buying AA Miles

    No. Haven't checked with the bank but don't think that's where the problem is. We think the rot set in when I tried to buy on the 29th day after joining (confused by the day difference between the USA and Oz) and that was rejected, of course. All other efforts either over the net or phone...
