    Have you ever had problems with the person sitting behind you on a flight.

    Nothing really bad but I've had my fair share of feet coming up beside my window seat and the sidewall, constant re-adjustment of knees into the back of the seat, badly behaved children kicking the seat and people grabbing the back of the seat when standing up. If any of those things are...

    QBR website enhancements broken basic functionality

    This seems to have officially gone live on 23 Nov. QF have a press release here: https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-rolls-out-new-travel-management-experience-for-australian-businesses/ I've noticed my bookings seem to be reflecting accurately in the new website now...

    What scares you about travel?

    I'm not a morning person at all... so early morning flights scare me. I have a fear of sleeping through my alarm and missing the flight. This gets compounded by not being able to get to sleep the night before due to being worried about sleeping in. When I do wake up on schedule in the morning...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Yes you should be looking at Q9 for an international economy release. 4 is a lot of seats so it could go either way but give it a go for sure and let us know!

    JetStar International Upgrade Options

    Thanks so much! I flew MEL-SGN v.v. last week and there were spare J seats but I didn't even bother asking since I knew they had previously stopped doing upgrades at the airport, and when they did do them previously there were weird caveats such as needing to visit the airport the day before...

    JetStar International Upgrade Options

    Oh this is interesting! Any insights on how this works and what pricing is like? Is it a matter of first come, first serve?

    JetStar International Upgrade Options

    Just bumping this thread to see if anyone has seen one of these upgrade offers on JQ recently.

    Purchasing seats on Jetstar flights after using Qantas reward flights

    Yes. You will get the Jetstar booking reference on the confirmation screen after you've booked. You can use either this or the Qantas PNR on jetstar.com Manage Booking to purchase seat selection and anything else you might need for the flight.

    Qantas international routes not resumed

    Is Jetstar's Thai cabin crew base in BKK? If so that probably makes MEL-BKK operationally important for JQ since a large portion JQi's cabin crew are Thai based.

    InDriver?

    I have been using InDrive as my preferred rideshare app for a while now and opened it today to this notice advising they have suspended operations in NSW. I wonder what happened 😩

    Max Bundle - didn't get the qantas points or status credits

    If you book a return trip with Jetstar with Max bundle, you can change/cancel the sectors individually. Also if you cancel the entire trip you'll receive two vouchers - one for each sector. This might be more beneficial as if there is a significant schedule change, you could request a full cash...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    I think this would have to overtake Icelandair’s aurora livery as my new favourite livery. Looks incredible.

    Article: Qantas Considers Bringing Call Centres Back to Australia

    I find it definitely helps but not always. Not too long ago I had an agent in Cape Town sigh and snap at me "just read it out normally" when I used the phonetic alphabet to read out a booking reference... like geez I was just trying to make it easier. Not surprisingly the rest of the interaction...

    SYD DOM J Lounge - Dining Improvements

    Back in the lounge this evening and unfortunately it's not running today... in its place are bowls of crackers, corn chips, celery and dips. Although could be because the lounge is a zoo tonight due to the storms going through Sydney right now. Standing room only and lots of people just...

    No Texts with log-in verification code from Qantas 8 Nov - Optus Outage?

    I use an authenticator app for 2FA and they don't require any connectivity so no impact.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Having the required fare classes isn't a guarantee of approval. I'm assuming the system sees the MELPER leg of QF9 as an international flight and from experience it seems to be a bit more conservative with international flights than it is for domestics. For example, I rarely get knockbacks on...

    Article: Qantas Considers Bringing Call Centres Back to Australia

    That's right there was a Mindpearl presence in Malaysia, they also had a presence in Brisbane as well. As far as I know, Mindpearl Malaysia didn't take calls for AA, and it never took calls for QF. Along with QF, Mindpearl Fiji did take calls for AA and MH along with some other airlines. My...

    SYD DOM J Lounge - Dining Improvements

    Hi all, I was in the SYD DOM J lounge last night and saw a setup on the F&B counter I'd never seen before with a staff member serving up a plated dish that took my interest. Last night the option was maple and soy mini drumsticks with Vietnamese slaw, with the option to have the dish topped...
