Anyone know which Qantas routes where I can find these seats? Or could it be that The Australian got it wrong (again)?

Earlier today I received a very excited text from a friend, newly minted platinum, telling me the ADL J lounge had opened. He was sitting in it. It's "bloody beautiful" he said. "Bacon and eggs for breakfast". A quick search of the net returned no results for an open lounge. Five minutes later...

Yep. It may have been an anomaly, but I think it's got something to do with the changes introduced in April. As I say, it's awhile before I have the opportunity to test it again. If it turns out that I need to pay $10 a day just to receive text messages and allow my phone to ring, it'll be...

I had the exact same experience back in April when I queried the changes at a store. I was told you've always needed to additional just to receive text messages and allow the phone to ring when overseas, but that has never been my experience. When was the last time you tried this? As I...

Hmmm. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I was sure my trip to NZ a couple of months ago required a day pass for me to receive calls (not answer) and text messages. It's awhile before I'll have another opportunity to test it, unfortunately. I'll drop into a Telstra store, but I doubt someone...

I've never had an issue with Telstra charging me roaming or any other fees when I have roaming turned off but receive text messages. Telstra's roaming changes announced this past April, however, seem to suggest that will no longer be possible unless paying $10 a day for the day pass. Is my...

How do people find eSIMs in general? Do you prefer them to a physical SIM? My current mobile is not VoLTE compatible and I need to upgrade before the 3G network closes in August. I've had a dual SIM phone for a long time but never one that's eSIM compatible. I'm looking at Motorolas and one of...

The census, Daver6. We both missed the questions, obviously. The pyjamas of a "premium national carrier" on the homeless? You will wash your mouth out!

I'm curious how you can you make this claim. Was it a question on the last census that I missed?

Congratulations, FlyingKangaroo and well done for persevering. I took an international airline to a state administrative tribunal over a so-called mistake fare after weeks of being ignored. It got the airline's attention and the resolution I was seeking.

This promo is neither good nor bad for me but I do have to wonder at whether it's really a good idea. To my mind, it's cheap and amateurish.

I don't need to, champ.

This whole 'Go ahead and take care of yourself; we'll take care of you later' that repeatedly gets thrown around by the airlines is absolutely cough. The number of times passengers report being told similar by an airline rep, only to have to fight tooth and nail for the reimbursement of...

What's the "trusty back up route"?

How many litres did you have in total and what was the mix of wine and spirits?

Yes, always. I leave it on top of the pillow.

Unless Ola is shutting down worldwide, everyone, I don't understand why the email says this. It reads as though, because I'm (apparently) registered in Australia, that's it for my entire relationship with Ola, no matter where I travel.

I don't understand this. In the first attachment (a PDF, because I couldn't get what I wanted to show in an image that also showed the date), the Jetstar PER-SIN flight (bottom of page two) is available for 18K. This in the "Cash" view. When you switch to "Rewards" view, however, that exact...

And we thought Qantas lobbied hard to prevent Qatar getting a few extra flights a week.

Is there any issue with requesting a seat for an existing booking? That is, I have a booking and I want to change it, but to change it I need to request the release of a seat. I have a fear I read somewhere that can't be done; it can only be done on a new booking. I'm hoping that's just offshore...
