My last resort on this is to try with the platinum guarantee for award flights once a year. But to do that there has to be no award availability within 3 days, when currently there clearly is, so I need to wait until there is no award availability at all and run the gauntlet of them being able...

Appreciate the feedback, very frustrating, and you are right, every conversation just seems to be the same that they can only see what we see online. They don’t even seem to comprehend that there could be more flights BNE-SYD, literally had one say that there is no other BNE-SYD flights that...

I'd be happy to risk fly forward as I do that every week with success (except for a couple of weeks ago with the REX influx), but not willing to risk fly later (which isn't a written benefit), especially with 2 Adults and 2 kids travelling.

Have HUCA 3 times and because computer says no, I don't think they can even understand what it is I want. So looks like I'm stuck.

Thanks Ade. No need for concierge service. Have made much more complicated around the world award bookings over the journey than this simple one way! Seems I am bound by computer says no, just wanted to spend the day with friends in Brisbane and avoid the overnight flight, availability is there...

Call centre agents are so useless, even as platinum, they can't even comprehend what I am asking.

Multi city only lets you do domestic flights.

Hi, has anyone had success, or is there a specific method to force a specific connecting flight on an award booking? Trying to do DPS-BNE-SYD as it avoids an overnight flight. But want the full day in BNE the next day so want a later flight BNE-SYD. All still within 24 hours so should price as...

I understand what you are saying, but normally with traffic accidents there is an at fault party, but insurance still pays out unless you are say drunk. But just because a road rule was broken and you were at fault doesn’t stop insurer paying? Or have I got that wrong in Aus…?

What a horrible story, I am really interested to understand where/if your travel insurance came in to play here? Covers the fine? Lawyer costs? Etc.? It is just crazy to me that someone is detained over an accident where no one has died or been permanently impaired. Details of parties and...

WTF, no way should a private business be getting exclusive access to a government system as you have suggested. I have no problems with a trial being restricted to specific airline/route, but what you have suggested is ridiculous.

Another one who has held it since wizard days. Cancelled! Would love to see the stats on cancellations since the annoucement!

That's the same price as the train which is $40 return for a shorter trip.

So the big question is if the fees will go away after 2030!

It's crazy isn't it. Also that it is like 7 times the amount of the standard fare to Mascot station is ridiculous. Like what is so special about an airport station? It should be like in London where the tube line fare is just normal fare. As it isn't like the Sydney train is a special airport...

Is there an end date on the station access fee in SYD or is it in perpetuity? Who actually gets the money? Is it the owners of SYD airport? Or is it Transport NSW?

It is obvious it annoys the crew…the magnetic rope worked so well for them that they didn’t need to control econ passengers trying to use business lav. On the newer fit without the divider I have noticed the announcement have been quite forceful about row 3 and back using toilets at the rear...

Not quite, today happy hour was $99 Lite and $109 choice. I only book choice fares.

October should be pretty good chance of the flights on UA I reckon. Whilst there are no guarantees, you can monitor and watch the general pattern of when they release availability. If you only need 1 ticket and are flexible +/- a couple of days I reckon you will be fine getting a business seat...

Yea I fly SYD-MEL-SYD every week. Flights are chockas now. Hard to get fly ahead as a Platinum when I was pretty much able to do it no problems at all for exact flight I wanted prior to REX going under. I.e. today MEL-SYD the 3pm, 3:30pm, 4:15pm, 4:30pm and 5pm were all 100% loads. Could have...
