    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Thanks. In hindsight I should have thought of that. I think I was in shock from getting answered in minutes. Had I done so I may have got a Hobart agent and got better flights. We've got 4 hours in Sydney and being on Jetstar will have to move between terminals to use the Qantas Club Lounge.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    HUACA? The best I can find is "Huaca has a meaning that is widespread throughout the pre-Hispanic world. According to the Quechua dictionary by Fray Domingo de Santo Tomás, it means "temple of idols or the idol itself." In other words, huacas were ceremonial centers where pilgrimages, rituals...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I also had a reasonably pleasant experience on Thursday with the call centre. Based on advice here I rang just after 7am and after about 5 minutes got through to someone in Fiji. I had flights booked from Townsville to Hobart in August through Brisbane where the second leg was cancelled...

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    I reckon I'll be in the same boat in a few months. At 150,000 x 2 J Advantage awards I have just enough miles. Same going the other way with Qantas points. Good luck getting J seats to/from Europe with them. After that we will stick to Australia and drive and fly. I'm just about over with the...

    I've been watching J Saver awards from Europe back to OZ.

    Complimentary Lounge Passes Disappeared

    It turns out to be a Firefox browser problem. When I checked using Google they were still there.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Well at least that explains why all the Saver seats disappeared! I dont know how many PPS members there are but if they have all been contacted and done simliar to you its no wonder things changed so quickly. Good luck to you.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    For weeks I've been browsing J seat availability from ZRH, AMS and FRA to either SYD or MEL and there has been lots of availability of Saver fares (non waitlist) from all 3 airports. Looking just now 99% are Advantage fares with an odd few Saver fares on wait-list. I usually look around...

    Spirit of Tasmania to set sail from Geelong.

    Queensland and NSW people may be more likely to take the ship from Sydney to Hobart than Devonport and Tasmanians escaping to Queensland by car/caravan could get a head start getting off in Sydney. I quite enjoy the ship when taking the car across and when the new ships come into service it...

    Spirit of Tasmania to set sail from Geelong.

    I'd go even further and suggest Hobart/Sydney. I'm sure Queenslanders and NSW people would support it let alone Tasmanians going directly north. Two ships, one between Hobart and Sydney, the other Devonport and Geelong. It will never happen of course given the State government keeing the...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    I cannot agree more. Planning a trip to eastern Europe (and maybe the US) September 2023. I have enough QFF points for 2 J seats one way and enough Krisflyer miles for 2 J seats the other way. I'm more than content that redeeming the Krisflyer miles will be painless (and cheaper) and I'll...

    Scenic river cruise Europe

    We won't be doing the cycling part (on shanks pony as my mother used to say) but I like the sound of the freedom to do your own thing.

    Scenic river cruise Europe

    I will check the self guided options out. We are planning an eastern European rail/river cruise (mainly rail) in 2023 but after watching a couple of YouTube videos went off the idea of the river cruise part. We were put off by the apparent regimentation of doing things the same time as...

    Complimentary Lounge Passes Disappeared

    No they only appeared a few months ago and had an expiry date in 2023.

    Complimentary Lounge Passes Disappeared

    Earlier this year I had 2 complimentary lounge passes in my Qantas FF account from my Amex Ultimate CC. They are no longer there. There is a message about the passes not being able to be used during peak times and I initially thought they were taken off and would re-appear but I suspect now...

    Where are the awards?

    I normally do that and it brings up the economy fares and some J seats at higher points. It still doesn't explain why it shows "Lowest" as 159,000 point seats above and nothing under "Business Classic Reward" though.

    Where are the awards?

    I have seen this several times when looking for options into Europe next year. Every day appears to have J availability at 159,000 points but down below nothing. Does anyone know why this is?

    Using KrisFlyer miles on Virgin Australia

    Thanks for that. The web site wouldn't let me add my Velocity number but the app did.
