    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    QF2 is now showing on the board as QF002D and we "hope" to leave about 09:00 (that's what the check in staff told us). Overheard some pretty pissed off people in the lounge and I feel for the staff here who have to deal with them. I know it's part of the job, but there is nothing they can do to...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I hadn't thought of EU261 - I thought (without looking) the accommodation reimbursement was higher than what QF offered. We have stayed an extra night at the Hyatt Suites at Heathrow (where we have been for the last 4 nights) and the extra night was A$255. If we don't get reimbursed, $55 is...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Currently in London expecting to depart tonite (6th) to Singapore on QF2 at 21:15. Just got text from Qantas advising we are now on QF2 at 08:30 on the 7th. Their text said to use the app to sort it out, but that keeps crashing, so about to make phone calls to sort everything out. Should be fun...

    Access to T8 JFK with non QF tickets

    My wife and I recently had a great experience through T8 at JFK. She is QF Silver, and I'm Gold. We had AA tickets for economy for JFK - CDG. When we checked in at the Priority counter the lovely lady told us to go and enjoy the lounge while we waited the 90 mins for the flight to board. I was a...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Qf94 is still sitting on the deck and just advised 11am is now the new time for departure. Maintenance issue. Interestingly they are giving out food vouchers for passengers. Edit. No way we will leave at 11am but no further notifications from the lounge. Edit. Board now shows boarding at 11.20...

    No glasses in passport photo from 7/18

    We actually take australian passport photos (and every other country under the sun) and have always suggested that glasses come off. Some customers accept it, and other refuse point blank! It's great to have this in writing so we can show it to them before taking the photos. Thank You for the...

    Jetstar security breach - MEL

    He must have pushed past the staff at the check in counter at the gate, and then gone through an open door, or pushed through a locked door to get airside. One wonders what systems are in place to set off alarms when this happens. By the pulling he was doing on the door handle, there must have...

    Mandatory Photo ID for Domestic Air Travel? [Not mandatory but can be requested]

    If what you said did happen, then it has achieved something! That's good. That's why I'm for it. But I'd prefer it actually did more and actually identify "persons of interest" if they are going to go to all this work. And yes, you make a good point about check in staff not being able to do very...

    Mandatory Photo ID for Domestic Air Travel? [Not mandatory but can be requested]

    I'm all for photo ID on domestic flights, but........................................... When I check in, they look at me, look at my photo ID and make a guess that we are the same person. But where does the data go? Domestic check in has no links to any database (yet) for the data to be...
