In late August I flew to Fiji on business with Fiji Airways even though the bookings and payments were made through Qantas and my Qantas frequent flyer account. On the Saturday evening I was due to return to Brisbane, the flight was cancelled because Fiji Airways could not find enough cabin crew to staff the flight.
This meant that I missed my flight from Brisbane at 6 AM Sunday morning to Bangkok. (To get to Bangkok in time for work, I had to buy a ticket with Thai Airlines.) The price of the ticket has been converted to a voucher. However, I have forfeited the $180 paid for over wing exit seats on that Bangkok flight. I also incurred a significant mobile call cost to telephone Qantas in Melbourne from Fiji seeking assistance because I was unable to get any help from the Fiji Airways staff.
Do I have any recourse from Qantas for my $180; my telephone call to Qantas (which was over $100); and the fee I will incur when I reuse the voucher with Qantas?
Thank you.
