    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    I HUCA'ed today and they initially queried how come my kids email is the same as mine - well I'm not sure how a 2yo can open an email acct but I digress... She didn't want to help and simply said if the T and Cs said it's for an adult ticket then your children aren't eligible then... Suggested...

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    In my case as they are <12yo I was tried to book a single child ticket but the code was not valid for this fare. I have called QF and they said it had to be reissued with a new code. In typical QF fashion they have to contact another team "on live chat"? and get this processed, timeframe unknown...

    Travelling on VA for the first time since COVID

    Thanks for the input and yes I owe you all a Trip Report. I arrived later than planned to the airport. Not “match fit” as only realised I didn’t need to go to the counter as HLO until I walked inside the building. Got a big shock when go to the T3/4 security checkpoint and saw the snaking line...

    Travelling on VA for the first time since COVID

    Oh yes, for some reason in my mind I always equated flex = fly forward. What are my chances with VA in asking for an earlier flight???

    Travelling on VA for the first time since COVID

    Thanks everyone. I cld only access the itin when I finally convinced the organiser that the 6 letter code she gave me wasn't the booking ref and she said it would only work at T-48! By time I checked in the only window seat was in row 29! Its apparently booked on a flex fare. It is easier to...

    Travelling on VA for the first time since COVID

    My client booked my trip on this occasion - so didn't get to choose carrier. Travelling on QF is more like a security blanket - you know what you get/not get. So any advice please on: - good (for an airport) cafes for MEL and SYD terminals (I only knew about this trip after the status match...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Wow.. I have heard of multi language options you can select for call centres but never thought you now even have to speak another language so that the operator can understand you!

    Thanks to this forum! Mrs Texter (who is a NB) couldn't use her travel pass hung up after being told of the 2 hour wait. After consulting this thread she redialled and got through in 20 minutes!

    Qantas launches sale with unlimited fee free changes until 2022

    I have a ticket with city pair that I want to change (both destination and date). Is it still true that you can do that change fee free? Do I get a voucher or do I have to reticket straight away?

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    My membership year ends on 30/6. It seems like I am unlikely to travel for either work or holiday before then. Neither work or SHMBO wants to take the risk of being stuck interstate. As WP, keen on taking advantage of the status extension. Just wanted to clarify, is the cheapest method to book...

    Public Transport etiquette in the COVID Era

    MEL is COVID free, and apparently road traffic is back to 90%+ of premorbid levels, so thought I might consider taking PT (bus/train/tram) again for work. During the depths of lockdown the cabins were rather empty, it appears there is great patronage I think. Yes, I see the signage on...

    Home delivery of QF Magazine during COVID-19

    Got the May edition delivered too! Great outlet in these difficult times... The route maps are absent as well as the transit and general travel information, so they must have published the mag for us on the ground only..

    Travel on Cathay mid April BNE / HKG / BOS - Change now or wait and see if the Corona virus gets better or worse? Any suggestions?

    I too have a trip late April on CX via HKG to Canada. The issue on my mind had always been about the risk of infection, but now thinking about it more, there is also the risk that Canada (or any other country) could ban entry if you have transited HK. Lucky for me I've only booked the air...

    Claiming GST TRS travelling on QF9

    That's something new regarding lenses! For us locals it prob doesnt have a big impact as glasses can be funded by insurance. Asian prices are usually better. But every now and then it casues trouble, such as my phone I bought in HK not working and Sony Australia refusing to help.
