I used to take pride in flying Qantas and would happily pay a little more to fly Qantas, I've watched Qantas go down the drains for the past decade, but now I cant even justify renewing my Qantas Club membership! In earlier days I got its complimentary due to status, and I wouldn't be...

I agree with Paris,... No idea what it is, but everything there upsets me. Trying to use the great public bicycle scheme where for a couple of Euros oper day you can use these bikes for 30 minutes for no additional charge. After 30 minutes you are charged additional fees. Totally brilliant idea...

Yes, you are right, and it was a highly discounted fare. I think the point is I don't mind a Ticket Change Penalty, but calling it a Ticket Reissue fee is just wrong when no tickets are involved these days, and Flight Centre made the changes in the computer. On my return flight from Washington...

I fronted up to the Perth Qantas check-in counter at 6am with my 79 y/o mother. I was flying to USA, mum to Canberra, we were flying together from Perth to Sydney,where I was to escort her to the Canberra flight. I was denied boarding as my ESTA confirmation number was not valid. I had applied...

We are fortunate enough to have almost reasonable download limits on the phone/PDAs. So i tend to find it easier to use my own Internet by disabling wireless and not having to deal with those annoying 'do you want to connect' messages. Of course if I want to do data intensive work I might decide...

The problem is usually when your email provider is different from the wifi's provider. But if you use Optus and the wifi is Optus there should be no problems... Easy way out is to probably call the Optus support number if your email is with them as well :)

It seems to me that when I was a Platinum QFF for years and years I had oodles of redemption flight options availability. Now that I am finally reduced to Bronze and my QC has also just expired (I think I'll renew...) I seem to have a lot less flights to choose from. I also know that if you...

Can't believe in all these years this question wasn't answered... You are right, it is because it is an Optus POP. But I think the problem was with sending mail. You should be able to retrieve it OK with your password, but sending mail would require a secure connection which you might have by...

A friend of mine has just moved to Cocos Keeling Island and I want to visit! I heard you can fly from Perth and/or Singapore and like to visit both those locations. Has anyone got any suggestions on points or dollar or RTW or any other good way to visit Cocos Island? Although I am in Devonport...

Yes, they are dropping the QF points transfer in April I think it is. Total pain as I really liked this AmexPlat card and now need to search for another one.... Being as indecisive as I am this means months of farkelling to decide on what to do... Walt---- PS I used to be indecisive, but...

Yes, I can imagine. People need to remember themselves to use it, there are no prompts or references to it to remind people. For me the flights are inconvenient as the routes are very limited; I live in Devonport Tasmania so I need to tag it on to another trip... But what I have done these past...

I received the same letter and am pretty upset about it as I really like my Plat.Amex for one because of the 1.5 points per $, and the free flight each year. The free flight route I wanted to use is not available any more(Melb-Perth return). I originally signed up for that freebie, but that...

Due to my first/middle name structure my bookings do not always register with my Qantas Gold membership. Let me tell you the difference in experience... Anyway, flying in alittle Dash-8 on my way home in Tasmania yesterday I was allocated seat 1B, an exit row. The little plane was 90% full...

It was two years ago... I am pretty sure it was direct, as it is not associated to any of my existing bank accounts. Would that make any difference?

I was told I could not get a gold card as that required an upgrade from my $4K limit to a $5K limit, and since my credit limit had been increased less then 6 months ago I could not get an increase to $5K and thus could not get the gold card till the 6 months were up: a matter of weeks! The only...

Re: SICK of Citibank I have a Mycard issued by Citibank, is this the same? I find Citibank horrible to deal with. Even the internet-banking is problematic for me!! I got my Silver card in 2005 assuming I was getting 1:1 points which I was told were transferable to my Qantas FF account...

Not a bad idea, i need to get some publicity for the ride! It is meant to be awareness raising! One good thing about the lost luggage was that it will add a sense of excitement to the documentary, and more then anything exemplify the fact that having Cystic Fibrosis was merely a background hiss...

I just put in a claim with BA for emergency replacement gear worth €2650 which sounds excessive, but it was really the bare minimum to get me back on track and replace what I had in my luggage for the team - not to mention the cameraman and the support driver/mechanic who all had additional...

I went on a big bicycle expedition recently and after transiting through Heathrow to get on a BA flight to Amsterdam our luggage got lost. We were also filming a documentary, and all four of us had no luggage. One of us got luggage after a couple of days but three of us did not. Our luggage...

In Holland I had most trouble using my cards! Amex and Mastercard and Visa all proved difficult! I solved it by paying communal bills at the few restaurants/cafes that accepted it and collecting cash from friends/family... In the USA I have a USA debit and a USA credit card. You do have to...
