Family member bid minimum + $15 (total $260) for MEL-PER on a choice fare and got the upgrade.

The -700 appears on all transcon runs occasionally. As mentioned above, they have to be cycled through PER regularly so it's the necessary evil.

It's the lack of support on arrival at BNE that really irks me. The 7500pts and meals reimbursed is fine. Things happen, and I'm actually quite sure VA would've had a spare frame to tail swap with in PER, it's literally useless due to the absurd curfew situation in Sydney.

Yes it will.

Mosey down to OOL. OOL-xSYD/CBR-MEL return should be easily doable in a day and much less than $900. Or up to MCY could work as well.

I have in the long distant past received a relatively minor travel bank credit for some inconvenience. Your experience does not sound great to be honest. If you have expenses such as food you can keep the receipts and be reimbursed through contacting VA.

Baggage tag will likely also have it printed if it's still on the suitcase

All those multinational corporations with legal teams bigger than most must all be wrong? Oh no, not Wikipedia again...

You can't sell an airline under significant IR pressure for a good price.

Given he was entirely wrong to recommend it in 2020, I'm sure he'd recommend it in 2021, last month, yesterday, today and tomorrow as well. And still be wrong.

MEL-ATH might've worked before TK showed up, now they can slaughter QF if they try to compete even with the double stop. It's not a premium destination.

There is no way QF can make PER-LAX work.

No good at all. Rough as the ticket is cancelled already. Court would be one avenue but you'd be better to go with evidence first. Do you have any travel agent friends? You'd be surprised what can be dug up.

How was she transparent when the OP clearly got ripped off? Bizarre argument. The way I interpreted was that the agent said you are overweight. You must buy 10kg excess, as we sell it in blocks rather than per kg. Perhaps OP can further expand on the experience at the airport.

Why not consider to claim a charge back for the difference? If you have your baggage allowance, stubs or tags which state the weight, you have a strong case. You need someone at EY to understand exactly what the situation was. Have you tried messaging via Twitter/X or Facebook? They're...
