JNB would not be worth going out of the way but the prices are only a little bit more than NRT.... Can I be fooled while wandering Fred

According to EF, the base rates (ie the $$ BEFORE taxes and airline "special charges") are about 30% less for LONE4 and DONE4 in Oslo than in Sydney. LONE4 is about 20% less in Oslo than Tokyo, though Tokyo is slightly less for the DONE4. As always YMMV and in Australia always get multiple price...

Walking over to the domestic lounges in T3 is not overwhelming difficult Especially when experienced in wandering Fred

UL bid for upgrade success can also "lose" the frequent flyer data Found out that while wandering Fred

From the JQ cancellation email (JQ 117 15 Oct DPS-PER) If you’re more than 50kms from home and delayed overnight, we’ll help cover the costs of your accommodation. We encourage you to arrange accommodation with a provider of your choice. See below for...

The 08:55 JQ flight DPS-PER was cancelled 15 Oct just before check in opened No seats on JQ for at least 3 days to PER. Offered hotel and meal costs. Managed to get QF seats via MEL but will arrive in PER more than 24 hours later Will be interesting to see JQ's reimbursement coverage First...

The "addition"to get the MAX fare between PER and DPS is not that large a "markup" Fair number of points and an additional 25 SC (total 50) Cheaper than QF domestic when wandering Fred

Online states a bagdrop would be available. Being international, there would have to have been a document check, checking your data. At the JQ checkin at PER, there was no advantage to the passenger as there was only one (VERY long est 45minute) queue. The advantage to JQ would have been...

JQ online seriously asks that you checkin online....... for the international DPS route On arrival at the terminal, it was obvious that there were no dedicated check in positions for travelers who had followed the online advice. Though it was clear that those who had, took a lot less time to...

QF 44 (DPS-SYD) B class fare issued by AA 28 Sep 1 J seat left at check in Unsuccessful at gate (Manual checklist - nominally "training") Though I did retain an empty seat next to me. Pity the transition to A330s on this route starts after my return. The perils of wandering Fred

Double SC credited on 01 Oct for 29 Sep flight Reservation included a change of travel dates on a ticket issued by AA Happy wandering Fred

My AA issued ticket has a QF PNR which was referenced on the AA website with my QFF number. The QFF site was/is happy to deal with the associated QF flight in all respects. Certainly helps wandering Fred

Rather we are alienated by the lack of personal and corporate responsibility which is required before the latter two items can be considered fairly. Qantas needs to recover a level of responsibility to the customer. No wandering Fred

Given the current level of government "concern" with Qantas, perhaps it is now time that the WA government gave an ultimatum on the move to T1/2 in Perth. So my list for QF management: 1- a committed time schedule for moving to T1/2 in Perth 2- PremY seating on all future wide body planes -...

I have no idea how future performance will come to pass, but PER-DPS or return has at least been approximately on time. The on budget varies a bit, but the MAX fares are a relatively inexpensive way to earn QFF SCs. And international tickets exDPS are generally less expensive than originating...

The latest (what is hopefully going to be a) mid life crisis (at 77) is the lack of ease of travel at preCovid levels. Well and the added risk of not getting travel insurance? And what the semi annual check-ups would like you to follow up. And to a hope for many more hours of happy wandering Fred

AA 73 to QF 43 as a result of very good pricing in AA Y+ ex DPS With an Australian passport, exiting to explore a bit of Sydney should not be an issue, but what of the potential "gotchas" in doing that. Recently there has been a scarcity of domestic wandering Fred

On the contrary, the reports on this thread indicate that AFF members are supplying massive amounts of user testing. At a higher level of expertise than QF could ever hope to hire. :):cool: But these testers tend to go wandering Fred
