Problems accessing qantas.com

[rpmsol]

Is anyone else having problems accessing qantas.com today?
I usually login 2 or 3 times a day, but have had lots of trouble this weekend.

When I enter qantas.com in my browser I currently get redirected to

http://www.qantas.com.au/australia.html

which it then says it can't find??

I have tried on my laptop with two different ISPs (iinet and Telstra) and other computers in our home (just using iinet).

Sometimes I successfully get the expected home page (after about 3 minutes) and other times I have also seen some internal errors relating to gateway timeouts.

Has anyone else had similar problems?

Cheers,
Paul

No problem here.

Thanks Kiwi Flyer, Do you get redirected to http://www.qantas.com.au/australia.html when you visit qantas.com ?

Cheers,
Paul.

That link does not work for me; when I enter 'qantas.com' I get redirected to Qantas Homepage

Other than that try www.qantas.com.au

When I visit qantas.com.au I get redirected to Qantas Homepage but only get the RED Qantas banner - nothing else??

For me both qantas.co.nz and qantas.com.au work fine.

start > run > cmd /k tracert www.qantas.com.au ... see what path its trying to take, although probably not a overly huge help due to the huge cluster the site gets served off.. at least worth looking at, though.

It seems I don't have any difficulty getting to qantas.com or qantas.com.au but there are some redirects that I'm having trouble with after the first page is fetched.

For example: Resolving www.qantas.com.au... 125.252.202.110

For example, I just got the following:

Service Unavailable - Zero size object

The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.

I'm going to guess that there's an edge server playing up somewhere

Few people on Whirlpool having issues too.. Qantas site down? - On the internet - Whirlpool Broadband Forums

dnsstuff.com says the following: (so what is an edge server)

Response:


DomainTypeClassTTLAnswere566.b.akamaiedge.net.AIN2072.246.90.110

NOTE: One or more CNAMEs were encountered. www.qantas.com.au is really e566.b.akamaiedge.net. [www.qantas.com.au->www.qantas.com.au.edgekey.net->e566.b.akamaiedge.net]

Yep, it seems to be if you're routed through Optus - you're having problems.

Updated (temporarily) c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
to include 72.246.90.110 www.qantas.com.au
and all now works!

Cheers,
Paul.
