    Jetstar cancels Perth-Cairns flight 4 months ahead of schedule AGAIN!

    Thanks for looking into this for me. We probably will fly Qantas through Brisbane even if it almost doubles the duration of our journey. I just hate the thought of Jetstar getting away with this stunt again. If only another airline would fly the Perth-Cairns route I would never grace...

    Jetstar cancels Perth-Cairns flight 4 months ahead of schedule AGAIN!

    Once again, months after booking my family on Jetstar flight 979 from Perth to Cairns leaving at 11.55pm on Saturday 5 August 2017 (the only direct flight or I would avoid Jetstar like the plague), Jetstar has cancelled the flight. According to its email, we can take alternative flights to...

    Is J on the Qantas 737-800 Perth-Singapore a waste of money?

    Work is paying not me, but I hate the fact that Qantas gets paid $$$ for substandard seats on substandard planes because it encourages Qantas to keep putting those planes on its Perth routes. Qantas has been treating its Perth FF like second class citizens for a long time now. This is only one...

    Is J on the Qantas 737-800 Perth-Singapore a waste of money?

    I have to fly from Perth to Singapore for a business meeting next month. Qantas and Singapore Airlines both have a direct flight from Perth - Qantas has only one, while Singapore has several but like Qantas, only one is early afternoon which is my preference. The Qantas plane is a Boeing...

    Qantas award bookings which include a Jetstar flight - seat selection free?

    Hi I just made a Qantas award booking for my parents which included 2 domestic flights in J with Qantas, and one flight with Jetstar. There was no direct Qantas flight on the route so I had no option but to make the award booking with Jetstar. When I went to select seats, I was directed to the...

    Thanks for confirming. Any idea whether my QFF bronze travelling companion will get the free bag also if we are booked together? Do you know if I or we get free seat reservation also?

    Emirates/Qantas booking nightmare

    Why? I was in London and needed to travel urgently. The Qantas phone line kept dropping out after hanging on for long periods and it's website was 'experiencing difficulties' for several hours when I was trying to book online. A collleague in a different hotel had the same issue so it was...

    Losing my WP status

    After enjoying WP status (lifetime Silver) for almost a decade I am back to lowly Gold. Not because I don't fly enough. I do. It is a combination of being forced into EK flights between Perth and Europe due to difficulties booking through Qantas when you need to travel or change your flight at...

    Emirates/Qantas booking nightmare

    This happened to me too when I needed to fly urgently from London to Dubai to Perth last year. Qantas platinum line wouldn't answer and the Qantas website kept going down. In frustration I rang Emirates and was booked on a flight the next day. I told them when booking I was a Qantas WP and that...

    So annoyed! I booked the 6am flight on the basis it was the A380. The 777 is such a tired uncomfortable plane. Not happy!

    Free checked bag on Air Berlin for QFF Gold?

    Having accumulated numerous QFF points over my years as a WP QFF, I used a number of them for a few of my regular trips to Europe last year. On other occasions I had to fly on EK flights when there was no Q codeshare flight available for purchase on the Qantas website. As a result I lost my...

    Qantas frequent flyers ignored by both Qantas and Emirates

    Until now I've always been able to choose seats on QF flights operated by Emirates on the Qantas website including exit aisles when flying economy. This includes 4 international flights as late as July this year. This is the first time I've been shunted to the Emirates website where all the...

    Qantas frequent flyers ignored by both Qantas and Emirates

    I am a Qantas platinum frequent flyer. Living in Perth, I have no choice but to fly on Qantas codeshare flights on aircraft operated by Emirates when flying to and from Europe which I do regularly. Often I cannot even obtain a QF codeshare flight such as a current flight I have booked from...

    Why is it so expensive to fly to Europe on Qantas?

    Yes I do lots of domestic flying. Am also considering flying Virgin here too. Qantas seems to use its oldest most tired plane on the Perth route and more often than not the flights are delayed. I just think Qantas doesn't care much about its Perth customers.

    Why is it so expensive to fly to Europe on Qantas?

    Yes but even then the same flight is $200 to $400 more if you book with Qantas rather than Emirates and then you get no status credits and a handful of points. And also you can't use QFF to upgrade on Emirates even on a QAntas codeshare flight.

    Why is it so expensive to fly to Europe on Qantas?

    I will need to make several trips to Europe from Perth this year having already made 2 to London recently. I am a Qantas Platinum FF but I can fly with Singapore Airlines or Qatar for $1200 less return economy and $2000 less business with much better flight times and shorter flights? Clearly I...

After booking flights in early November 2015, on Christmas Eve Jetstar cancelled my extended family's Fri flight JQ979 Perth to Cairns at 11.40pm on 6 May 2016 and our respective return...
