    BNE-HBA redemption online

    I know that. All flights were piced at Zone 3 for at least 36 hours prior to my post. I dont know if my post or the feedback I sent had anything to do with it but the Zone 2 pricing reappeared for both direct flights and those via SYD shortly afterwards.

    BNE-HBA redemption online

    I have been trying to find a rewards flight from BNE to HBA either direct or via SYD. At the moment the points quoted are those for zone 3 (1201-2400 miles). The actual distance either direct or via Sydney is 1111 miles so they should be quoting points for zone 2 (601 to 1200 miles). I don't...

    Angry pax declines to Raise Reclined Seat During Service...

    I never ask the person in front of me to raise the back of the seat. I always ask a flight attendant is she would get the passenger to oblige and I have never had a problem doing it this way.

    Rebooked on JQ - experiences?

    They tried to pull this on me several years back. I was booked in J on the Qantaslink 717 early morning flight MEL-HBA after an overnight flight from BKK. The 717 was still in HBA and unserviceable which is a not infrequent occurrence. I was called to the service desk and told without any...

    Using points to retain Platinum ...

    I am not really bothered if they do or don't. The only difference to me is that I end up with only a few less points as I am already LTS and should be LTG by the time I get to London and I will have WP for nearly 2 years by the time I get home. So I won't be bothered chasing a comp WP.

    BKK Qantas Club Access Run-around

    The Bangkok associated lounge site lists the generic rules for admission to all lounges. If you look at the top you will see that access to this lounge is only available for 4 hours prior to the departure of QF24 and I would presume only if you are flying on QF24. Lounge Locations | Thailand...

    Free 2,500 Velocity Points via CrownBet Rewards joining bonus

    Crown do not care whether you win or lose. They will not ban you from taking these promotions. The more of them you take up the happier they will be. It is all about turnover and as far as they are concerned their promotion has worked on you.

    Are other airlines also as bad as Qantas?

    Last July flying J from LHR I arrived in MEL to be geeted with news that my connection to HBA had been cancelled and I was to be transferred to JQ. My answer was no way, I would happy to wait for the next QF flight. It turned out that was also cancelled and I was told that I would have to go on...

    As you live in Tasmania I presume that this remark is meant to be sarcastic.

    Virgin to remove bagfree fares from Domestic Routes

    Virgin does not need to compete with Tiger. They own it and it is their LCC. They are transitioning to be similar to Qantas and Junkstar.
