    Article: Should Airlines Rebook Sick Passengers for Free?

    Last weeks commute home (MEL-BNE) was a nightmare when the person in the middle seat next to me started coughing, sneezing and blowing her nose the entire trip. I thought I was getting lucky and having a seat free in the middle (strange given I knew it was full), when this lady boarded -...

    QantasLink Dash 8 Guide

    I do the Wagga, Dubbo, Tamworth, Armidale circuit regularly. In the last couple of years I’ve had several times where flights will be delayed due to conditions (fog) at destination. Around 5 or 6 times we’ve reached the destination, did laps waiting for fog to burn off to land. On anll occasions...

    QantasLink Dash 8 Guide

    I think out of the 70 flights I’ve had this calendar year, at least a third of them have been on Dash 8’s. They’re noisy, fly low, don’t get any good snacks on them - but I don’t actually mind them. I don’t like the front exit seat (2C/D), the wall directly in front is a bit of a pain, but...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Had my first flight from BNE since the new boarding yesterday and was looking forward to the new boarding system. Forgot I was on a QantasLink flight (E190). They didn’t even offer to board Priortity first - just a free for all

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Fifth time lucky! Called around lunchtime today was advised it would "happen today" - no new link or prompt to select, I had the 50SC manually credited earlier this afternoon.

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Today I'll need to place my fifth call to round out my Green Tier journey this year. This is to see if I can get my 50 SC bonus for my Green Tier. It's been an interesting journey over the past 2 months... First two calls were around the wellbeing app not reflecting with the tick, they managed...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    I wasn't targeted, I clicked on a link from this thread I believe? I was credited 10 bonus nights the same day as my 3 night stay, which was the usual 3-5 days post a stay.

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    Add this to the knock me over with a feather category. Three nights booked prior to registering as a gold member for fast track. Three nights credited along with 10 bonus nights. I’m shocked

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Not flying anywhere this week (BNE based), interested to see how this all plays out tomorrow morning with the new boarding. I reckon at least half the bugs will be ironed out for me next Monday morning

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    Ahh Accor, of course, different clarifying criteria across T&C's, emails and the website. The registration pages adds in additional temporal conditions. That throws a spanner in the works for my interpretation. I still find it intrgiung that I can't actually get to the link beyond the: Simply...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    Well, technically from the T&C's posted above I tick all the boxes..... how that plays out is in the hands of Accor. I didn't register before the booking, however my boolean logic has me as meeting the requirements. That being said, I can't see the T&C's and have no idea what an 'Eligible...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    Well, I made my booking (i.e. "registration") for this weeks 3 night stay in SYD on the 24/05/2024 at 19:11 - well before I got my confirmation email for the offer (25/05/2024 12:11). Technically my booking is during the period the offer period. I'm not going to contact them, I'll roll the die...

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    My booking is one that I can't cancel, well I could but I forgo my money. I will report back if this 3 night stay does trigger some promo... It's a little unclear if you are Gold status if need just 1 night or 5... or what exactly is "many more status nights"?

    Accor Fast Track to Silver/Gold/Platinum

    I've got exactly the same as email as you: "Simply book one night with us, and your account will be credited with many more status nights." Click the link and get a blank page. I've already got a 3 night stay booked in SYD this week, guess I'll see if this stay counts. I'm already Accor Gold.

    Monday morning baggage system fail at Domestic BNE

    Should provide an update. My bags did arrive on the last flight into DBO on Monday. My work colleagues didn’t experience the same luck. They took several days to arrive

    Monday morning baggage system fail at Domestic BNE

    Anyone else experience the joy of the baggage fail at BNE domestic airport this morning? Haven’t seen the QF section of the airport look so full (and angry) for a while. Most early morning flights were delayed and baggage appears to be a nightmare. I managed to check mine in, after they got...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    My “snacks” heading home on Friday. Salsa on the Dash 8 QantasLink, sausage rolls on the SYD-BNE leg. No lunch so I knocked down the CC's and salsa. Had to make haste from Gate 16 to Gate 2 (flight meant to be boarding) only to find it wasn’t. Factor in another 30 mins to board and then thanks...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    My flight from ADL to BNE yesterday morning was definitely a snack, a tiny little tea cake. I expect that sort of snack on the Dash 8 to regional centres. On the way down the day before it was more substantial, the brioche scrambled egg number, but it is near inedible that one.

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    Yep, definitely snacks - not meals. Those mini pies are tasty however, if they are ever served I grab them. Those pizza slices are usually scorching hot and vegetarian, I hate but the missus loves them (being vego)

    “Delayed Baggage” Report

    Final update on the bag…. It finally made it‘s way to ARM… just in time for me to check it in as I was flying to SYD! I’m glad to report that it made it to SYD and I’ll have my clothes, sleep machine and medicine for the next 3 days until I fly back to BNE. Still looking to get something out of...
