I'm most likely going to be moving to the US for work mid next year, for a couple of years. I'll be heading there in February for 2-3 months, is there anything I can/should be doing while I'm there to get things set-up before moving more permanently in July?

Today’s QF122 delayed 40 minutes with a passenger vomiting after boarding. Call went out for a doctor, who assessed the passenger. The medical kit was opened, which then required an engineer to re-tag it. The doctor was then upgraded to 1A (I was in 1C), with the original 1A relegated to 4C...

10 SC, nice.

On today’s QF123 that’s just been cancelled after boarding. Issue with a navigation system required for ZQN.

I went to a dermatologist today for a large circular discolouration I have on my trunk. It was originally a darker skin colour, but has lightened with Eleuphrat steroi_ cream, but hasn't totally gone. Not itchy and not raised. Dermatologist didn't have an answer, and recommended a biopsy to rule...

Spent some time with them yesterday - they initially said there are issues having different fare classes on the same booking, but they managed to overcome this when I insisted they call Qantas for assistance.

I have a SYD-MEL-SYD booked during the DSC window via corporate TA (Navan). Plans have changed slightly, and I'm now needing to add international segments (MEL-DFW-AUS-DFW-MEL), so naturally wanting to try amend the existing booking to retain DSC. Any ideas if this will be possible? Booked into E.

Final update: Case has been settled, with marginally better compensation as described above. My recommendation for anyone going through similar issues is to raise the NCAT and Fair Trading complaints. It seems to be the only way to get issues resolved at Qantas, with compensation to boot.

I had that for the first few months as well, keep it under something heavy and turn it every few days. It'll eventually come good.

Sorry, NCAT.

The Executive Relations team have offered a replacement of the wine with correct vintage, full refund (including reinstatement of 2 x $50 vouchers used), and confirmation that I will retain the points (~12k) earned on the purchase. So basically wine and points for free...well for the $60 NCAT...

Same menu a few weeks ago. I had the chargrilled chicken - tasty but a little dry. Cheesecake wasn't to my liking, as I found the grapefruit quite overpowering.

Has anyone got the Antler Icon Stripe expandable carry-on bag? Tempted, down to $150 at David Jones (half price), but only concern is the weight, which is a bit higher than the Samsonite equivalent. Anything else I should look at for a carry-on?

That's seriously mediocre

Called Qantas Wine for an update, and was immediately transferred to Jolmer from the Executive Relations team, based overseas. Advised he had received my AFCA complaint and initial correspondence from Fair Trading. Told to expect a response in 2-3 business days.

I lodged a Fair Trading complaint at the same time, and received a call from a case manager yesterday. Fairly surprised, as in the past I have never received any responses to my complaints to Fair Trading. The case manager is dedicated to Qantas, so hopefully a resolution before the NCAT hearing...

Spend $240 for 1300. Not gonna happen.

Aberlour 12yo down to $74 with cashback.

That Katnook pack is tempting - any guesses on what the mystery bottles are.

I've been unable to resolve this issue during the week, after close to 5 hours on the phone and countless emails, so have just lodged an NCAT claim.
