I have bookings from CNS to TVL and TVL to BNE in July. Three changes have been made (two a change of time, the other a change of aircraft) and I've yet to receive a new e-ticket. I spent over 5 hours on hold trying to get a new ticket only to receive a new itinerary, followed up by a 4 hour...

I'm so pleased you find those who have a legitimate complaint but happen to disagree with your condescending attitude amusing. Like I said earlier, it's posters like you - 5000 plus but of what quality I wonder? - who give this site a bad name. You most likely chase people off this site but...

What a friendly site this is with posters like you on it. The OP has a legitimate complaint and all you can do is slag off at them. Pathetic. The truth is that QF has turned to merde and I am also one of those who have voted with my feet. How gratifying that after 7 pages so far "Opusman", the...

There was never the opportunity when I was growing up but if my parents were up the pointy end and left me in cattle class then I'd tell them I wasn't going! LOL. The only time we ever travelled as a family group was in economy in a BOAC 707 many, many years ago...

The bad meal I remember most was on EK in J from Sydney to Auckland. Lunch was described as a lamb dish but it must have been prepared by Jack Spratt's wife as the ratio of meat to fat was about 25/75. It was also swimming in some sort of oily gravy with a couple of small potatoes and carrot...

I'd have thought that most people who earn a minimum of $200k a year would have the sort of job that would pay for their travel, probably in First or Business, so no benefit for the lounge access. The QF Wine Club membership is only $90 and all that gives you is free postage - anybody can buy...

A rather unusual museum is one dedicated to the phallus in Reykjavik. So far there is not a human one there (amongst all the other species preserved in jars) but apparently one gentleman has left his to the museum in his will! Certainly different. LOL. https://phallus.is/en/

Knowing Qantas they probably charge you $100 when it comes to redeeming the $70 voucher.

Do Platinums still get a magazine sent to them regularly? A friend gave me the first one when he first reached that status several years ago. From memory it had little info in it but lots of ads for hideously expensive stuff. You know, the sort of items most Australians buy on a regular basis -...

I must have been lucky as I've never experienced these types of hassles, having made several trips to Paris and a 2 week holiday by the Italian lakes in recent years. Maybe I have the wrong sort of face? LOL. Many years ago I was approached by a "gypsy" near the cathedral in Cologne but...

So Limewood, just to clarify please. Are you saying you will usually purchase tickets, perhaps with QF to HKG and then you are using CX points via an Amex card from HKG?

Many thanks! CY in my post should, of course, be CX. Oops! From memory Cyprus Airlines no longer exist, not to mention I wouldn't get far from Australia with them. :-)

Thanks for the replies on this matter and thank you Dr Ralph. I didn't actually have a particular carrier in mind other than a general query based on the earlier advice concerning the ability (or otherwise) of using QF FF points on a partner airline. My travel plans are for J class SYD/LHR in...

I've seen references to using points from one airline on another airline but how do you actually do this? If I go on the CX website for example, it will allow me to use whatever their FF scheme is but I can't see the ability to use QF FF. The QF website only seems to be open to bookings with...

Thanks for the advice about calling and hounding QF. The process was incredibly frustrating as one of the "consultants" kept on telling me that I had many previous bookings with the airline and was it a particular trip to Cairns I was enquiring about. I had enunciated very clearly the booking...

I had to cancel a longstanding booking with QF because of illness. I cancelled online 14 September and hit the refund button - it was a fully-flexible domestic economy fare, value $1892.00. Four days later (18/9) I received an email advising that the booking had been converted into a voucher...

Having the luxury of being time-rich, I would never even look at such a long flight sector. My last o/s trip was QF to SIN, overnight at an airport hotel, EK (QF) to DXB, change planes (with a comfortable time in the lounge) for my flight to LHR. Return was with Aer Lingus Dublin to Boston...

I've only just seen this thread, clicked on the link and provided an update of my details. However, from reading the other posts, I assume there was a deadline so it's unlikely I qualify. Oh well, back to buying some much needed wine. (Often up to 10,000 bonus points for less than the cost of...

Dr Ralph: Re the "credit card churning game". I was once told that every application for a credit card is recorded in the "credit register" or whatever it is called. If this is the case - and I don't actually know if it is - is there not a danger that too many applications might impact one's...

Doyvid. Rydges at Sydney Airport is where I always stay because of the fact it is just a short walk across the street to the terminal. I live in Wagga and always fly the day before for international morning flights - I don't want to get caught by fog or other delays. Prices vary depending on...
