Stranded in the Solomon Islands, domestic flights cancelled

If by some miracle we get back tomorrow I can repurchase the points seats. Otherwise it will be first reasonable cheap cash fare.
I can now see Reward seat availability tomorrow after which none until Sunday otherwise cash fare is over $600
 
Ok just got off the phone with QF USA and they kindly agreed to cancel with full refund due to being stranded by Solomon Airlines. He said points should post quickly, is that right? If by some miracle we get back tomorrow I can repurchase the points seats. Otherwise it will be first reasonable cheap cash fare. I really want to just get home. Holiday spirit completely ruined.

I hope not. Enjoy the extra few days by the pool and the heat. Getting home safely is the only important thing and travel delays happen.

We are on a tiny remote island in a guesthouse that has power only a few hours in the evening. Patchy wifi although better at the airstrip because I got then to log me on. Running out of mozzie spray. Husband has a cough and no pharmac_ here. Local shops have things like noodles, tuna, corned beef and hard biscuits, no bread. Shower needs power and only cold water. Two days to see the birds was more than enough. Now going on 5 nights. The people are nice but that’s about the only positive. Also running low on SBD cash, have some AUD. But was relying on credit cards in Honiara. Really wanted a nice pizza at King Solomon tonight.
