Yes. For our family, it's Disney. ;)

Seems high to me, but I haven't overnighted often at LAX. I just picked a random mid-week night's stay for mid-July, and am getting Hilton LAX properties for USD 165-280ish. Only the ones in Marina del Rey/Santa Monica are showing more than that at USD300++. I just skimmed the rates, didn't...

USD or AUD? I've got USD 190-200ish bookings for next month and November.

This thread isn't for our pets' maladies, is it? :p Joking!! The Teen has started doing some exercise this term - yes, intentional exercise, not just the occasional 1km alk home from the bus stop (when there aren't late activities at school or appts afterwards). Seems to have enjoyed herself...

I tip in hotels in the US. We also tipped at the end of our cruise, our room attendant and our two servers. I really chafed at the tip for the Head server, because we barely saw him (he was in charge of lots of tables), and when he saw the Teen blanch at the plate of shrimp and grits she'd...

OK, 2024 is going pretty well Jan - trip to Boulder, Colorado for a Roundtable session for a couple of days. March - CHC weekend for the AFF dinner, with Mr Katie and The Teen in tow. March/April - Girls' weekend in MEL. May - Minneapolis for a conference. Nov/Dec - Grad Trip. Flights...

Oh, my trip in Nov was ticketed on Tues morning. Email receiced at 9am on 2/4. So 10 days after request, including two public hols.

Fri 29 Mar - Mon 1 Apr Property: Hilton Melbourne on Little Queen St/Bourke St Nights: Three Status: Diamond Room booked: Twin Superior Rate: HH Discount Received: Twin Superior At checkin it was noted they "wanted to upgrade my room" but couldn't as we'd booked two beds. My Teen and I didn't...

I ended up looking online when I was trying to find contact details. There was an online form for submitting a request for compensation for a flight downgrade. So I used that, and explained what I was asking for in the text box. Nicely. :) 🤞

I'm not a Qantas newbie, but figured this question works here. I was booked on QF1260 on Monday, along with my Teen. We'd upgraded from cheap Y seats to J on points at 19k each. (I didn't want to have to cook dinner when we got home). tl;dr - flight was cancelled after we boarded as the...

Better seat pitch in Y so I'm not ramming my knees into the person in front of me's back all flight.

He knows. I think he figured it was a bit too early to be carb loading for his 150km ride on Saturday. :D

Mr Katie visited SYD FLounge yesterday and rated the Korean Fried Chicken as "could eat several plates". His Mum responded to his social media post with "leaves Camp Hill pub in the shade". 🤣

Mr Katie and his mate (both WP, separate bookings) got Y+ to J upgrades on QF 1 yesterday (Weds). SMS of upgrade came through on Monday morning, so around T-56 or so.

Does anyone else with LTG have their LTG showing on this new page? I'm seeing LTQP, but I never bought a LT QP membership. I'm LTG + WP. Just checked the Teen's account; it's showing LTS, but that's their only status.

I called again today, and talked to the same agent as yesterday. She said it's all confirmed, it's fine, and in queue with the ticketing team. She said that team prioritises on departure date, and this being November is lower priority. I think she told me not to worry and only call back if it...

Got an email this morning asking to call QFF about this request. I called, and Kate helped me. Her accent was not indicative of any particular call centre (that is, a different accent to one I'd expect in HBA, CPT,NAN, etc). Kate said it was all confirmed, except for the last flight. So I asked...

OK, the booking is now showing up in My Trips (hmm, in the app, but not online), but that last leg is still Requested. I have looked at EF and that flight is showing I0, but the next SYD-BNE flight is showing I4. Doh! Should I call the call centre and see if it's possible to change the...

Yes!!

Just tried for my first ever J Classic Rewards release after 13 years as a QF WP! Trying for BNE-LAX-BNE via SYD in mid-Nov/early Dec for the Teen's graduation trip ... Eeeep, looking at the Booking Reference the call centre agent gave me, BNE-SYD, SYD-LAX, LAX-SYD are all showing a status of...
