The annoying thing about this is that while it was me who booked for the two of us, every piece of documentation is addressed to HIM but to my email address. I always put my name first. He was WP and I think I was as I was extended during Covid. But not sure.
Do you know that happens to me on every single comms from Qantas that is more generic. I am P1 he is complimentary WP and yet everything goes to him. On my email address. I find that super odd.
 
Does anyone have any idea what is happening from here given that we are in October 2026 now?
 
I had a call from Echo para legal, returning my call from weeks ago about existing credentials and unable to register Mr Flyfrequently @exLXCXFF
He had also sent me an email which I never received seeking more information.

He informed me, Settlement Hearing is 13th October and later we will be advised of Notice of Distribution
As long as you are registered ( he confirmed Mr Flyfrequently was) you will receive notification
You may be asked for flight details, PNR or dates of refunds, but they understand it is difficult to locate this.
After our call, I sent mine through to him using their register@echo law email.

So we wait.......

Does anyone have any idea what is happening from here given that we are in October 2026 now?
From the link in the OP:
What happens next?
38. By 16 October 2026, eligible Group Members who have registered will receive an estimate of
their settlement payment. This is an estimate only and the settlement payment registered eligible
Group Members ultimately receive may differ from the estimate provided.
39. On 13 October 2026, the Court will be asked to approve the Proposed Settlement and its distribution
to Group Members. The Court will only approve the settlement if it considers that the settlement is
fair and reasonable and is in the interests of all Group Members. If the Proposed Settlement is not
approved by the Court, the class action will continue and there will be no distribution of monies to
Group Members unless and until this proceeding is resolved.
40. If the settlement is approved by the Court, all claims made by the Applicant and Group Members
against Qantas will be dismissed with the settlement releasing Qantas from the claims brought by
the Applicant and on behalf of Group Members (except those who choose to opt out) that were
made or could have been made in this proceeding.
41. Only eligible Group Members who register will receive any settlement payment arising from the
Proposed Settlement. Group Members who choose to do nothing or opt out will not receive any
share of the settlement sum.
42. However, in either situation, and regardless of whether you register to participate in this class action,
opt out or choose to do nothing, if you have an outstanding COVID Credit for bookings up to and
including 30 September 2021, you can request a cash refund from Qantas indefinitely.
43. Subject to further Court order, we anticipate that settlement payments will begin to be paid to eligible
registered Group Members in late 2026. Eligible registered Group Members will receive a
remittance note after their payment is made.
