Attempted to do a dummy booking today to see whether it would work, it did. Then tried to start over (thereby undoing the booking) when it got to the payment page. When I did that, the refresh screen was white except for a message which said an error occurred. (I did not enter any credit card...

Well there are no good value options and there are no redemptions to Hawaii.

Well it leaves Sydney late afternoon and arrives in HNL early the same morning.

For my dates no PE via any airlines beat the JQ "J" price

I am thinking about flying JQ from SYD-HNL as part of my next trip (one way). On the dates I plan on traveling (September), the fare is approximately $2000 + $200 for a Max bundle. Is it worth it knowing there is no flat bed? Should I wait for a cheaper fare ie a sale? Do you get two meals on...

I have flown TSV-MEL on Jetstar before, at mealtime, and a meal was most definitely NOT included.

In the past the points returned instantly or at least within two days. Of late it took over a month for them to the refunded and I had to call their call centre four times.

So what's to do with 14 hours in Nadi? Hire a car and drive some of the Queens Road and stop at a beach? Any good restaurants you recommend in Nadi for lunch? Is the lounge at the airport adequate for an early dinner?

Thank you for all your responses. There is a twist in the tail. A J redemption booking has popped up from Krisflyer on my preferred date so I will be flying with SQ through to the USA (which is good, if long - but I do rather enjoy their catering). I was able to get a flight back with QF points...

Thanks for all your input. Seems like the highest expected value move is to book BNE-LAX in business. More important to get the best included entree even if I have to pay for my starter. And in these cost-of-living crisis time now it's time for me to stop upper-class whinging and shhh.

Qantas' ethos is something straight out of Ryanair - make customers experience the worst value possible and don't be afraid to show it. For a bona fide example, for many years they showed availability in J when searching for an award flight from Melbourne to LA connecting at Sydney, with "your...

Yes. A multi-city booking. Ultimately, Qantas J is below standard when it comes to comparison with Asian carriers, but Qantas PE was subjectively better than SQ's offering. Hmmm.

Well does that change which choice you would take? Seriously, is Premium Economy bearable enough, given it's a daytime flight and you get an extra day in LA, you don't have to buy a separate domestic leg. Also, would e-mailing Qantas help in any way or is it their practice now to ignore...

I am Bronze FF. My status is with Star Alliance, not that it has helped much. How do I call the Hobart/Auckland call centre? Every time I call the standard number it is someone whose fluency in English appears limited.

7.30 okay

What time does it start?

For my planned trip next year, the rarest of miracles has happened: Qantas has a classic J redemption available on the day I wish to travel! Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, things never work out perfectly. There is only a redemption available flying out of BNE-LAX rather than my home town of...

now paid

My previous understanding is that you get dinner IF AND ONLY IF the departure time is between 1800 and 1959 inclusive (lunch between 1200 and 1359). Even on a flight from say TSV-MEL leaving at 5.30pm and arriving at 8.30pm you would only get a refreshment. Pure cost-cutting stinginess and greed.

One could always attempt to have "dinner" in a lounge. In my experience, all Asian lounges and Qantas business lounges (domestic and international) have more than enough "entree" food (in the American sense) to pass for dinner quite nicely. Virgin lounges only sometimes have one "dinner" dish of...
