    Lake Como - Where would you stay?

    Hi Renato1, If you change your mind, check out Villa Tres Jolie on the western side of the lake. We've stayed in many B and Bs in Europe and I'd rate this one as up there with the best. It's run by Dani - the English tour guide and her Italian husband Guilio. Superb accommodation, superb food...

    French Train Booking @ Voyages-SNCF: repeated Credit Card rejection

    Hi legroom, I completed the booking on the IDTGV site just a few minutes ago. No problems. Just let them know in the email the last 4 numbers of your card and wait until they acknowledge receipt. When you are filling the booking form, you will be asked for a contact mobile number - to notify you...

    French Train Booking @ Voyages-SNCF: repeated Credit Card rejection

    I made contact by email with IDTGV in France and explained the problem with credit card authorization. On the IDTGV website, in their terms of purchase, they indicate that the only cards they accept are cards - the major ones - that are issued in France or Europe. I ask them to authorize my card...

    French Train Booking @ Voyages-SNCF: repeated Credit Card rejection

    Thanks for posting. I was just about to do Captain Train. A few things have happened: 1. SNCF got back to me with an automated message saying they will respond but it will take longer because of the terrorist attacks in Paris. I imagine many people would be reviewing their trips to Paris and...

    French Train Booking @ Voyages-SNCF: repeated Credit Card rejection

    Similar experience with sncf voyages las night. Using a Citibank Visa signature card, tried to book a few tickets from hendaye to Brussels in May. I got an email alert earlier last night indicating the tickets for this journey were on sale. So, twice you go right through the ordering process and...

    Bumped Onto Jetstar To Japan

    For what it is worth, Qantas paid Jetstar for two Jetsaver seats on this flight for us - $443 each ($284 for the ticket plus $159 surcharge, taxes etc.) Make what you will of that.

    NM - thank you for the post. What is the source of your information on these fares? I am using the Qantas website and I just checked the Sydney Osaka one way fare and it is $1252. If you are using the same source or another, I would be pleased to know what that is so I may be better informed.

    Bumped Onto Jetstar To Japan

    Dave, thank you your post. Sydney-Osaka one way costs 36000 QFF pts economy 36000 FF pts means an economy ticket valued at $1017(Red e deal) or $1252(Supersaver) or $1595 (Flexisaver). If I could take the Sydney-Osaka flight on Q on the day after we travel (April 6) then only the Flexisaver...

    Bumped Onto Jetstar To Japan

    Soundguy, why won't they refund? Why didn't they contact you? Booking in advance should never be a problem. The problem here in both our cases is how QF and JQ handled or mishandled the change. We all accept that airlines will change schedules but there should be equity in your compensation...

    Bumped Onto Jetstar To Japan

    I rejected that out of hand. See a previous post today on what that 6000 points really meant in terms of compensation in an overall spend of 144000 points. It begs the question as why I would ever bother to fly Qantas again. Why face the prospect of being dumped again onto Jetstar at some time...

    NM thank you very much for the information. Can I include this website address in the press releases I am doing at the moment - purely for any researcher to have an in-depth look at what the situation is. I assume that Qantas staff monitor this site frequently to see what's happening out there...

    Bumped Onto Jetstar To Japan

    Thank you, I stand corrected. Just finished having a chat with the Jetstar call centre. Asked about my booking on the flight. Yes it's there and guess where - seat 36J. Where's that I ask? Over the wing was the response. Who did that I ask. Guess who. Can you change it I ask? Sure, where would...

    Bumped Onto Jetstar To Japan

    Here's today's answer from Qantas. Before I give it, I'd urge you to read my original posting to understand why this has gone on for so long and to understand Qantas maintains that we are not entitled to Starclass. Q affirms that we are QFF passengers on Jetstar flight Q has never maintained...

    NM - very illuminating information. I'm a newbie to this site. How is it that you know all this? My QFF status and that of my wife's is bronze. Cheers

    Thanks serfty but sleeping is out - I don't sleep in the crouch position be it in 31" or 38" of leg room unless there is a some kind of yoga position that Jetstar recommends for its passengers. I'll ask. That's assuming, Sefty, I'll be on the plane. Omnious sign - no-one from Qantas called...

    NM - thank you very much for the information. It always pays to read the fine print doesn't it. Today, I was expecting a call from QFF but so far, a deathly silence. The only thing I did notice is that I can't get into view/change my booking details on the QFF website. The screen message says...
