    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    In both of the actions of mine that went before a body, the airlines argued mistake. Some people seem to forget that the doctrine has (at least) three limbs. It's not simply a matter of the airline saying 'We made a mistake. Here's your money back. Go away now.' And yes, there's certainly risk...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    In the case I won, no, the airline defended it using lawyers from what at the time was the second largest law firm in the world. The forum I brought the action in didn't allow lawyers at the hearing, but the firm did all the legwork and acted in all the ways that give lawyers bad names. At the...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    I've alluded to it on AFF several times over the years. In one well publicised so called "error fare", the airline (certainly one of the 10 most recognisable in the world, I would think) cancelled. I took it to an Australian court for breach of contract and was awarded the monetary difference...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    This "gesture of goodwill" reads to me as an actual gesture of goodwill, unlike how it's often used by big business in Australia as a fig leaf for the business's error masked as big corporate doing the customer a favour. I'm impressed, Qantas. Where are you seeing this detail?

    SkyTeam Status Match - ITA Airways

    When I looked at applying, I first logged into my existing ITA account. I was successful in the original status match in 2022 or whenever it was. I've never taken an ITA flight, never partaken in another match and I'm still top tier for another few months.

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    I welcome you to AFF, but nothing in your post is logical or even remotely accurate, in my view. It wasn't 3am to 6am everywhere.

    Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

    In Australia, they should never have existed in the first place. I do not tip housekeeping or anyone else in Australia. It's my understanding Australia has the second highest minimum wage in the world, behind France.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Why would available classic rewards disappear, though? They have different conditions and can suit different purposes.

    Hyatt Regency Perth to close after 36 years

    I'm more confused. Staff were apparently told they were going to be laid off on 31 August. If the property is continuing as a hotel, surely it'll need staff. And the emails I've received from Hyatt don't help with the confusion. One read: That suggested existing bookings would be honoured...

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Assuming that you can earn points by buying gift cards, it's a way to reach a minimum spend quickly and earn points for transactions that otherwise wouldn't (e.g. council rates).

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    There doesn't appear to be any exclusion on earning Star points at the usual rate from the purchase of gift cards directly from a gift card retailer (e.g. Visa, TCN EFTPOS). Does anyone have experience with this?
