Yeah it was. I was getting as far as LIS (so with this JL sector) and then I ran out of flight segments so needed to do it on the phone. ORD is available, however the AA connections aren’t open for booking yet. The agent claims to have sent an email to “OneWorld” to ask them to release the...

Yep, thanks came out much less once it was all pieced together (about $1600). Only issue is that JL sector that’s been booked in Y+. Website still shows J available, agents are saying “J is available but not for a one world award”. Now it’s booked I tried HUACA and the latest agent says “it’s...

Annoyingly not. No availability showing in IB and even AT doesn't have any seats on the CMN direct (which would be helpful, as that's one of the later stops) Phone booking is going as expected :rolleyes:. One sector showing online as available but the agent can't see it. Also shows on BA. Agent...

Bit of a split. With the annoying 6 flight limit I can’t put it all together as one, but we’ll see what it comes out to when I book it over the phone. I can’t see it being any less than about $3000 though.

Just trying to work on another of these. I'm not entirely sure the value is there anymore with all these carrier charges! SYD-KUL (MH) is 1$50 KUL-NRT (JL) is $310 HND-JFK (JL) is $550 JFK-LHR-LIS (BA) is $1551! I'm not even half way through the ticket and it's up to $2500

Yeah they’re fine. Haven’t crossed a card that has an issue with them yet. PayPal via Post Bill Pay was working for a while, but apparently it is now shown as “government” by PayPal.

Amazing how certain “buzz words” will always work!

I guess they could launch off into a storm and crash, but then people here would complain that “never arriving inbound aircraft due 180 fatalities” wasn’t a valid reason for a delay.

Yep.

Yep. It’s a massively underserved market. Plenty of people trek via Singapore or the Middle East due to a lack of capacity.

Just stay at the city lodge. Rooms are comfortable, there’s a decent bar/restaurant and it’s a short walk to Quills if you want something better. The IC is a blatant rip off. Use a travel agent, they offer good wholesale rates.

I’ve got a long connection coming up in KUL (23 hrs and 30 mins). I’m heading into town for the night but don’t really want to carry my bags in with me. Routing is SYD-MEL-KUL-DEL. Does anyone know if Qantas are going to be able to check bags right through to my final destination?

took me nearly 2 years to get a refund on award seat taxes. Raised with ACA and that’s the only reason I got a response (albeit months in between). Seems customer care has been outsourced to the Philippines. They’re absolutely useless. Pretty astounding that this is acceptable, but qantas is...

Points received. Spend was met on 4 December.

Should be in an email. But if you’ve ever held an HSBC account before, check email addresses from way back. Mine went to an address unused for over 10 years.

Nothing hard and fast, but basically each level of escalation costs the bank $X (I’d only be guessing if I said how much). The first level of AFCA escalation is to just refer it back to the bank (most banks now just close complaints as “feedback” and never get back in touch with the customer...

Tried to see if I could get a certificate of cover for the travel insurance on this product. Tried the live chat. Was told i should contact Star Alliance and ask them directly. When queried as to how an airline alliance could assist with travel insurance, they said the insurance is provided by...

Exclusion periods (for now anyway) are being kept separate. Citi still seem to be running their own sh**show independent of NAB for the most part. There’s no defined minimum, but 150 seems reasonable. I’m closer to 300 but payslips can be confusing because of overtime. When I applied for this...

For what it’s worth, short notice availability was good for Feb and easy to find. I needed to get to Mumbai and over the space of 3 days in Feb had options on Malaysia and Sri Lankan. Also had good QF availability to HKG and MNL plus BA to SIN. Usual luck of the draw stuff. Don’t think there’s...

Suspect it’s through their internal system then. Expedia bookings would generate an Expedia confirmation. When I last spoke to them they said they were no longer using Expedia.
