Can anyone give me any advice as to how to get Qantas to deal with my request in a timely manner. I booked a number of Business class award flights with Qantas last September and now 1 of the flights out of LHR has beed cancelled(as in discontined) I t was on a partner airline and Qantas stated that they could not offer any alternative and suggested I should contact my travel insurers and make a claim.The insurer, QBE said they would look at a claim but I had to provide a letter from Qantas stating that the flight had been cancelled and setting out the points I would be refunded for that portion of the booking and any fees and taxes which I had paid which would be refunded.
In the meantime I have gone searching for business class fares from LHR to SFO in July this year which I can purchase. I presume the insurer will look at the additional cost to me of buying the fares compared to what Qantas would have charged me in points and fees and refund the difference.
My problem is that I have been chasing Qantas Frequent flyers and customer care for nearly a month now and still I am waiting for a simple letter and they refuse to say when I might receive it. The request has twice in correctly been assigned back to frequent flyers who are unable to provide a letter so it keeps going back to "customer care" ( which I must say seems to be a misnomer) where the file has been re- assigned to 3 different "consultants".
Every 5 days when I phone and enquire what is happening they tell me they will assign it to another person because that consultant is not in today and they will give it priority and mutter something about 3 days or so but that never happens. Goodness knows what happens to a file that is not prioritised. They will not allow me to speak to a supervisor because they tell me they do not speak to people.
Talk about frustrating. Any ideas what I should do?? Appreciate any help. Thanks, John.
