It was a joke 😆 Another problem with some policies, different people have varied perspectives on what is fair and reasonable. One thing I have noticed is that per diem spending caps tend to fall over the more diverse the travel becomes. I can tell you in Asia particularly, there is a world of...

Or making you fly at ungodly times, how am I supposed to fly Brisbane to Karratha in one day if my dad isn't even awake to give me a kiss on the cheek before I leave in the morning?

It would not be difficult to solve this issue directly through the ticketing system either.

The airlines have a great deal of information about passengers, it would be easy to penalize the repeat offenders. Pretty easy to provide a medical certificate / stat declaration in the event of genuine medical issues.

You can always audit a handful of people each year at random, however, if you're that worried about whether people are going to take the piss with company money there are probably bigger issues anyway. My point is that you want people to comply with the intent of a travel policy and thus avoid...

Part of the problem, is letting other people organise travel for you. The best way is to book your own travel and just charge it to a company card.

Give people as much personal choice as possible, the focus should be on "Not taking the piss" if you get intent behind the policy right everything else will sort itself out.

Would be interesting to see if this pans out, there are a LOT of people who use DSC periods to hit the required SC thresholds each year. They need to avoid giving people a reason to look elsewhere, particularly with regard to the international business segment where they are weakest. People...

When people request the backup upgrade from Y to PE, is this an option in the business upgrade window or do you just apply for both upgrades simultaneously? I've never had to do it before.

Work pays of course, but I am fortunate to be able to book all my travel independently. Point was mainly that there can be a lot of $500 - $700 and 20 SC return flights each year to get to 300 SC.

There are certainly two sides, it's pretty wild when you're buying a heap of BNE to SYD, MEL, ADL & PER in Y every year (for work) and barely cracking Silver.

This is actually spot on, I would probably never fly Qantas Internationally again if they removed the loyalty incentives.

Sometimes prioritizing absolute returns over all else isn't the best move. Will be interesting to see if Qantas management have learned the lessons of the last few years.

I get the fare buckets, I was having some issues actually getting availability to display. There were flights showing zero available seats despite this obviously not being the case. I think I have worked it out now.

I was looking at it earlier but still figuring it out, pic related.

My personal favourite with this used to be when the rejection SMS inevitably came through and they had thoughtfully moved you from a nice window seat near the front of economy to the middle seat on the 2nd to last row of a 3:4:3 configuration aircraft. So not only were you not flying in...

Little plot twist on this, saw a kid pull a knife on another bloke in the middle of town because they ran into eachother on E-scooters. Should've gone to Vanuatu 🤣

Thank you mate! I ended up going to Auckland because I'd never been to the North Island of NZ before. Lol Should've done Vanuatu!

I need 270 SC, starting and finishing in BNE. Anyone have an interesting run for me? I just want to taste that BNE Domestic Business lounge toastie once in my life.
