Interesting that they do this for CBR-OOL, but not CBR-MCY. I guess it's because the CBR-SYD-OOL route used to be a sweet spot for spending points and earning SC's, and they've put a stop to it. Just like you can't book a reward CBR-SYD-CGK these days. It forces CBR-MEL-SYD-CGK (at a higher...

OK, how about CBR-MEL-OOL? Normally 29,000 pts in J, but now only available for 43,800. CBR-SYD-MCY is available for 29,000 pts, but I don't want to go there. What Qantas has done in this case is to treat the 2 sectors as separate bookings, rather than one through one. The website is rife with...

It will recur, well it does for me in unpredictable ways and it also happens when I try and make a booking with CX. This leads me to believe it's an Amadeus issue, and yes, it does seem to come and go. It also doesn't seem to like VPN's. I can generally get around it, but I'm still not sure...

That was my experience last week.

I wouldn't place too much hope on it, even if they start earthworks and demolishing houses, etc. Perhaps just go for high speed rail to WSI... Just look at HS2 in the UK. Oh, and in a similar vein, I'm not expecting Heathrow's 3rd runway to come along any time soon. Now, Gatwick's 2nd runway...

I've been in that situation myself at AKL and have just got a room at the Ibis Budget (it's walkable).

I was looking to use some points for domestic flights (PointsClub+ member), but couldn't find anything worthwhile. Qantas have done their homework this year and have nailed things down quite tight. So I'll pass on that. Why waste your money/points on going somewhere you wouldn't otherwise, for...

And at CGK a few days ago. Even looked in my laptop bag (which isn't very big).

Won't happen. Might be a rather downgraded version possibly. Hey, this is Australia. We don't do HST. In any case, I won't be around to not see it.

Perhaps not exactly the same. Previously only new bookings from the announcement date would be eligible. So a hint of desperation?

Coles has it all over Woolies at the moment. I think Woolies has got a little too arrogant. I'm happy to spend my money with whoever gives me the best deal (not Woolies). And Woolies is closing our local supermarket, to boot.

I wouldn't use that as representative. There are many horror stories about MAN arrivals on BA. I'm flying into MAN on BA next month and have allowed myself over 2 hours to make my train from the airport station. (I'm originally from around those parts)...

Yeah, that's good to know. I've sat in the PE bulkhead row on a JAL 787 a couple of times, and it's a nice place to be.

But, alas, I did cave and buy 2x six packs of the Blue Pyrenees. Not for the wine, of course. Could be handy when the next DSC promo arrives, and it gets me over the PointsClub+ line again.

Yes indeed, but if you have an Opal Gold card (as I do) $2.50 won't break the bank. And yes, if you're not flying you should not have access to the lounge. Is anyone (other than clowns) running this airline? But, really, isn't it obscene that someone like Mr Rohrlach can F up a good FF program...

Good question. I see they're still blocking the bulkhead seats for Plats. That being the case, I'm happy to continue booking Scoot+ Row 1 (instead of Qantas) to SIN.

Surely, just as AI to do it. No thinking required.

Well, it's all too late for me. I'm not in the least bit interested in this promo. I'm now a thoroughly rusted off Velocity member. I rarely buy VA tickets (only if there's a big price advantage) and am letting my status bleed out. I'll be Gold by mid year, but so what? Lounge access is still...

Not so good if you're travelling as a couple (or even on your own). There'll always be a situation where you're climbing over someone or they are climbing over you. 3x anything is bad from my perspective.

Yes, I've been getting this for a couple of days. It would seem to be tied to a recent comms/security software update. I have several Windows desktops, some running Win7 and some Win11. The problem occurs when using Win7 with any browser, but when I switched to Win11, using Firefox, the problem...
