    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I thought this would be better than getting flight credit as I am having to deal with so many problems with this. I had a mel-syd QF/JQ return trip for $367. I wanted to postpone it and the fares would be $309 for QF/QF. I asked to change for the $309 trip, expecting a refund. No no no. I had to...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I tried again at 18:55. This time I got call back which it did 10min later. I was on the phone with the agent and fortunately, the same agent. Get this, the cost of my original ticket was $367 and to change it to 2 weeks later needed an additional $471 as fare difference! So I asked for it to be...

    AFF on Air Discussion thread

    I just listened to the podcast on Velocity points. Very aptly timed for me as I was asking the same question myself and shared the episode with a friend. And interviewing Phil was the best and most relevant guest you could find. Thank you for the episode. My friend with his sharp ears, picked...

    A pilot's bucket list

    I went to the Boeing factory for their tour in 2014 and went there from Seattle by bus. There was a 10min walk to the entrance from the bus stop. There were a couple of smaller museums around the airport but were not accessible by bus. I enjoyed the Museum of Flight so much it took me 2 days to...

    A pilot's bucket list

    I was dissapointed that the Saturn V was not vertical. Would have been a better perspective. You'll have to go to Space and Rocket centre in Hunstville Alabama for that, Quickstatus

    Hi, I watched Matt's recent webinar on booking a QF RTW Award flight. He showed how he finds out which airlines with F cabins fly to a city and from where they originated. Would someone enlighten me how to do this please?

    QF Booking Class?

    Hi Serty. I used your script from post #105. It doesn't seem to work with the current QF booking pages. Has the current booking page outdated the script? Also, viewing the source of the page, I can't see var mileage. Any advice to see the fare class? I did find that clicking on the full fare...

    QF flight no. on AA metal

    Hi AFFers I'm going to the US next year and will be flying pretty much across the country. Is is possible to book AA flights with QF flight numbers on US domestic flights? If so, how? The point of this is to earn SCs and points. Flying an AA flight no. doesn't earn SCs. TIA Timbervolt
