    Singapore transit

    Serfty yes after 3 years of trying to get to Germany/Croatia to see family and holiday the hurdles have not fallen away ! I think I am on my third or fourth routing.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I guess also we would not want to be in a situation where priority starts filtering calls based on need and sends us to the work experience student to sort out out a multi city, multi class, oneworld award that we have spent ages putting together and all we want to do is one small change that...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    ...well the sad irony is that it was like dealing with a different business altogether.....call answered quickly, agent knew what they were doing, matter resolved quickly. It should be like this for all customers !

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Hi in my opinion I would be keeping this thread low key and not share or promote outside of the forum. Perhaps Qantas already read this but who knows? The reason I say this is because the priority telephone number seems to have been passed around a lot and not so urgent callers have been...

    Switching from Qantas frequent flyer to Singapore KrisFlyer

    Thanks for your replies everyone. I am thinking that for me that Virgin FF might be the best alternative to Qanats FF. I also think I will hold off and see if Qantas improve their customer service. The limitations with on line booking I can tolerate especially if an efficient customer service...

    Switching from Qantas frequent flyer to Singapore KrisFlyer

    Switching from Qantas frequent flyer to Singapore KrisFlyer Hi after many years with Qantas FF including many no issue redemptions, recent experiences with both the call centre and on-line booking capabilities have made me consider an alternative. Has anyone done the switch to KrisFlyer either...

    What options do we have.. OW RTW in Business (so over bloody Qantas)

    Who knows if JQ will even fly to Narita on 24 June? For example JAL themselves have cancelled all Mel-Nrt flights for the entire month of June. Plus you can't spend the night in Japan in order to catch the next day25 June flight unless you sit in the airport as Japan is closed to tourists.

    Negative qantas points balance?

    Yes negative balance is possible although it is more like a deposit. Call centre changed a flight once for me that should have incurred more points but the agent missed that I did not have enough points. The revised booking showed in my account but status was 'processing' and remained that way...

    What options do we have.. OW RTW in Business (so over bloody Qantas)

    Hi gidx03, I have recently suffered the same fate with JAL and Finnair for June/July and spent hours trying to find alternatives to/from Europe from Melbourne utilising the multi city booking portal. I had to forsake business class on some of the flights but at least I had success and did not...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    A few hours ago as only two business class seats were available, I booked my 2 kids 13yo and 15yo Melbourne to Frankfurt in economy class. I then went to book my wife and I in business class for the same flights ( seats are there ) and after 3 attempts to finalise the booking I could not due to...

    Rental car excess insurance

    Hi can anyone recommend rental car excess insurance ? So far in my research prices have varied significantly, $95 - $350 for 22 days coverage in Europe. My concern is not so much the price but not having any difficulties should I need to make a claim.

    QF RTW - Flight change (HND to NRT)

    Hi, not good. Your other issue apart from the time to get from Narita to Haneda is that Japan are not allowing tourists at the moment so unless there is some sort of transfer between the airports in which you don't enter the country I would be getting on the phone to Qantas or look for...

    Dilemma- My paid booking now has award seat availability

    thanks RichardMEL and TheInsider ! I have grabbed the last remaining award seats and hopefully it will be able to ticket and then I will cancel the paid fare. Unfortunately the taxes/carrier charges are so high in recent times (depending on airline/route etc ) that each time one has to determine...

    Dilemma- My paid booking now has award seat availability

    HI, I have a paid fare with Qatar Airways, Zagreb to Melbourne. The fare is fully refundable. There are now award seats available on the very same flights, there were none before. I suspect if I book the award seats it won't ticket as Qatar will recognise that I am already on the flights. Would...

    Current treatment of missed connections on a Qantas Classic Reward Booking - any experience?

    I suggest you check Finnair schedules for the date you are considering booking to confirm if it is reflective of post Ukraine war route to ensure that your Singapore to Sydney connection works. I have had a booked July Budapest-Helsinki-Narita-Melbourne flight no longer viable due to a longer...
