I’m sold

Once again, thanks to @Ansett and @bjhearne for the passes. Flying JQ. Had three adult passes. Got a 3 and 6 year old in with no passes. Very kind host at QP MEL said you do need them (as per T&C) but we will override it this time :) Edit: credit wrong user :p

@Melburnian1 consistent service as always. Better than any airline!

Any reason given for JQ43 delay? I’m on tomorrow

Any views on this? I appreciate it will depend on which airline and where the flight is going Is any airline departing australia permitting OLCI yet? My research indicates JQ and VA don’t allow it to any international destination though I can’t confirm that

Stop it! Hahaha

Flying MEL-DPS return soon on JQ. 2 adults 2 kids under 7. Fully expecting a debacle from checkin onwards and will be pleased if it’s not!

I thought I’d hit the jackpot as the mobile site showed me a bunch of 1 pt rewards including flights (2x return to Bali economy for example) about 5 minutes ago But as soon as I clicked a reward I got the “system maintenance” page

Nice creative thinking @Mattg but it’s a max 100 bonus points even if you buy two sausage rolls I thoroughly enjoyed my 180g sausage roll for a dollar this morning

I think it’s a sensible rule change BUT when it comes to the actual cost to the lounge operation I doubt it makes much of a difference. So to my mind the benefit is only, as many have commented, to other lounge users feeling they have a more exclusive space and less wait time to access food and...

Because some people like to welcome family and friends at the gate Because some people might need assistance to and from the gate without needing or wanting the formal assistance that can be requested from the airline What is the downside of allowing it? Airports on the whole I suspect...

Has anyone had success ringing the call centre when there is apparent phantom availability? I tried to book a one way international direct flight classic award on air Vanuatu. I got the error “Sorry, an error seems to have occurred, and this page cannot be displayed (15079, 421)”. Then on...

Yes, sorry, I should make clear We got etickets for alternative reward flights and flew them without incident I made a claim for “general damages” for “distress and inconvenience” in having to deal with their incompetent call centres for weeks on end They started with a low ball of 10,000 QFF...

I didn’t meet the eligible sectors (1 short) but did get 800 SC They let me stay on for another 12 months I love VA !

For anyone still following along at home, I settled my VCAT claim in exchange for two $1,500 Qantas vouchers (one for each pax) Qantas offered this shortly after the deadline for its defence, which it had not filed

Case had settled as a notice of discontinuance has been filed. I have no personal knowledge I just checked the online court filing system

24 Aug. gave velocity number Points credited around 20 Oct but the date of activity is 5 Aug and done in two entries (100k and 50k). I nearly missed it being there on the velocity activity statement

Qantas did not appear at the initial hearing. So effectively the matter proceeded undefended the first time around. presumably the VCAT member didn’t interrogate the merits too much in such circumstances

It was just the first directions hearing that was adjourned rather than the trial Qantas may well have spent $5-$10K already to this point on lawyers I think an estimate of around $50K to go through the interlocutory steps including pleadings, mediation and get to the first day of trial is...

There were orders made today adjourning the matter for a further directions hearing on 25 November with the pleadings to be amended in the interim (available on federal law search) Qantas is represented by Norton White, who specialise in aviation law
