    Flybuys Travel anyone? I'm frustrated.

    Hi Guru's Anyone else having trouble getting points posted from bookings made with Flybuys Travel? Trip ended 2 months ago (purchased on a Flybuys Travel x15 promo) and I've become frustrated with all the back and forth messages with them as regards how long it's taking. Supplied them...

    Travelling for Music

    Last year I went to Japan specifically to see Paul McCartney.....first time there for me. Music related: 2014 I was invited to go inside Studio 2 at Abbey Road for a tour a discussion on The Beatles' recording techniques etc. Got to hear some studio outtakes not available to the public - that...

    Best approach/points goal to visit Seychelles?

    ...something I'd definitely consider if traveling on my own but in this case the flight times are too long. The way I'm hoping to route is the most direct/least amount of time in the air. Sydney > Perth > Mauritius > Mahe

    If I end up homeless you're all going to cop it! ;-)

    But seriously..... So yesterday I did what I swore I never would. Applied for the Amex/Qantas card, greenlighted instantly and now I'm an "adult" (at 44 years old). The intention being to purchase 2x SYD-JFK tickets and burn the remainder of the 3k spend on fuel, groceries, etc. As some...

    SYD-JFK price.

    Gotcha! The site is Bestjet. I'm not keen on third party bookings either but is this something I can get matched via Qantas or is it only TA's like Flight Centre that do price matching?

    SYD-JFK price.

    Hi guys, I'm planning a trip to NY and St Maarten for later in the year and came across a Qantas fare on Skyscanner, SYD-JFK return for $1231 (Aug/Sept)......is this a REALLY good fare or should I perhaps hold out a bit longer? For a newb like myself it looks fantastic. Intention was to make...

    Flight Centre issue....

    Yes...thank you :-) So I should just suck it up and put it down to experience? I don'twant this young lady to get her backside kicked for it by making a huge deal with her Boss or going to social media....I just wanted to know whether I should pursue it as I went in there thinking we were...

    Flight Centre issue....

    The $230 is the price for an upgrade bundle only (the cost of the flights are not part of it) which would entitle me to collecting points on the 2 Jetstar sectors. She didn't mention anything about fees. When she told me that I'd need to now pay this additional sum I asked "why wasn't it...

    Flight Centre issue....

    It only comes out in bits and pieces because I thought I'd get to the point at the beginning. If there's anything that requires elaboration I can do that. As I said, I didn't think it necessary to keep checking whether each flight she was booking had points attached because she came highly...

    Flight Centre issue....

    Because that's what was overlooked apparently, she put it through under a "cheap fare" so no bundle attached.

    Flight Centre issue....

    We discussed various destinations prior to locking in the final choices....I didn't go in there saying "gimme whatever". Did I discuss it every step of the way? No, who knew I had to. I emailed with my requirements, before looking at flights whilst sitting across the desk from her we discussed...
