    I had no luck trying to book LA to SCL or in the reverse trying SYD or MEL. Even when i could see availability i was told it was unavailable for whatever reason. I ended up booking the Qantas flight SCL-SYD with surprising results... to follow...

    Best time to Call QANTAS?

    I've been trying to book a complicated 280k award and my experiences calling Qantas over the last few weeks has been varied to say the lease. I tried chat and was told that i had to call to make the booking as it was too complex for the chat operator. This was on two separate occasions...

    Best time to Call QANTAS?

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Unless you go to the cellar door around release time... Then you can pick up 3 bottles per person. Otherwise try wine auctions.

    i'm having the same sort of issue trying to book LA flights MEL-SCL via AKL. The flights that i can see are not visible to the booking agent. Further does anyone have experience with married flights? I'm trying to book for August 2018, but the only flights available are SYD-MEL-AKL-SCL. Can...
