This country is so infuriating!!!!!

You're bloody joking! Finally flying the same day as you but booked on the 747 QF96!!!!!! Wonder what the call centre will say if I asked to be swapped because jb747 is driving?????

No question about the cost, my point is I've done it dozens of times before and never had a problem changing just one leg of the booking - paying the change fee and the fare difference if applicable. I'm trying to find out if that is no longer the case?

Brains trust: I have a booking for next week that is a return MEL-BNE with both legs red e-deals. I want to change the outbound flight to a few days later. When I log on and try to do this the website is throwing up an error and saying I must change both directions. The specific wording is...

Yes I had the unfortunate necessity to fly home on JQ last weekend and had a plus bundle. I noticed there is now virtually nothing of use for $5. A can of soft drink is $4.50 and when I said I would have a pepsi max she gave it to me and moved on. No mention about the extra .50c credit or...

Re: Qantas call centre wait time for NB and non member (2 hours+) Well Virgin are losing so much money flying around half empty planes it could just be a sign of how weak their demand is. ;)

Re: Not happy Jan. QF 762 PER-MEL 22/8/16 I'm afraid to say I don't think you have a case here on just about any of these points...my thoughts below. Yeah, because moving a gigantic heavy object with a 50m wingspan when the driver can't see where he is going is a smart idea?? Of course the...

No idea on this occasion but the answer to your question is definitely no. William and Kate flew to Australia in QF F a few years back.

Re: QF Platinum flying J or F waits forever too... It's getting worse I think. For years as SG I never had more than a five or so minute wait. This year it's been a minimum of 20 mins with call back options. Always at least 15-20 mins after they estimated is the actual call back. Just called...

The good news in all this is it all but confirms they will relaunch F at some point. I had feared they would just refurbish the current product and let it run until the 380's retire and that would be the end of F at QF. I'm pleased to see that might not be the case.

Cruiser, 93 is a lunch/dinner service after take off with refreshments through the flight and then a breakfast before LA. 94 is a supper service on boarding and then breakfast before arrival in Melbourne.

Wonder what they'll do with the other 330s?

I'd like to see an announcement of an A380 midlife overhaul with new J and F to stay competitive. However OQA was a 2008 bird so assuming a 20 year span 2018 is probably the target and therefore an announcement next year is more likely. Having said that, some of the sky beds are seriously...

JB - In relation to the 747 landing at OOL the other morning. I know you've spoken a bit about diversions before but I wonder if you can give insight into this one. I assume OOL would have been a last resort for a 747 crew given they have never previously gone there before. Would that be the...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Hmmmm that didn't work at all thanks MEL_Traveller. I managed to get Hipmunk to produce one of the ITA options. Unfortunately it was the one with a 6:15am start rather than my much preferred 8am start. Anyway after getting frustrated I've just...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Hello again to our AAmerican experts. After many hours of playing around I have finally found a run from New York that does not match the LAX value but is still miles better than anything I can get in Oz. My question is: how the hell do I book...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options It's a hideous run and requires at least one overnight but nonetheless: LAX-LAS-PHX-JFK-DCA-MIA-PTY $448 (US) You then have to work out a way back...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks for sharing these. Some not too bad. Just frustrating when I've got one that will net 390sc ex LAX for A$635.

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks Serfty - yes it is ITA matrix I've been using but without really knowing where to start it's been slow going trying combinations manually. Will soldier on!

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Has anyone had any luck finding a worthwhile stAAtus run from New York (or even another nearby port like PHL, BOS, DCA)? I can find some beauties out of the west coast in September this year when I need but I'm arriving into JFK and will be based...
