I flew QF CBR-MEL last Monday, in J. There were about 6 J seats spare after the doors closed, and the FAs went down the aisles and upgraded a number of Korean War veterans who had been in Canberra over the weekend for a memorial service. They also made specific mention of them during the in...

I use Notability with an Apple Pencil on the smaller iPad Pro. For general note taking it works well, my only grievances are: * When adding drawings / annotations next to typed notes the drawings don’t flow with the text. If I add more text at the top of the note then the text flows down but...

If so, that’s a bit rough if Qantas are using the chemical discovery issue (something genuinely out of their hands) to cover up a different failing. As has been said however, at least they let people know and suggested they take food / coffee from the lounge rather than having them find out on...

It’s odd indeed, no obvious signs of any issues and no delays at international transfer as far as I can tell. Will see whether my flight has any catering issues - though it’s a Q400 to CBR so there’s not really any catering anyway.

I’m currently in the QF Business lounge in Sydney, they’re making announcements that all flights ex-Sydney this morning will have nil catering due to an “incident at International” (their words). Anyone know more?

It seems odd to resurrect this thread after such a long while, but I can finally report that my Lifetime Gold membership card has arrived. It only took a bit over 5 months for Qantas to send me a new card - and in the end that only happened because I tried to use the Qantas Cash part of my old...

I received a similar targeted offer 2 weeks ago - I had spent about 30 minutes logged into the QF site searching for Business fares to SIN, but didn’t book anything. A few days later I got the targeted offer with the email subject specifically mentioning Singapore.

And again, same boat here. No new card as yet. Have flown 3 QF flights this week (ironically more than in the last 3 months prior to my demotion) and the old card still works fine as a boarding pass, though the dragon at the QP in Sydney pulled me up for it being expired and wouldn’t let me in...

I was on hold with the call centre for the entire drive to the airport, so unless there was a failure of call waiting on my mobile I don't think Qantas actively tried to call me. There were certainly no messages left on my voicemail - I checked just now to be sure. I would have thought that a...

The ticketing staff at the airport rebooked me onto the 8am flight, at a cost of $150 which was a change fee plus the fare difference for the cheapest available class. As luck would have it I ended up on a 737 in 13C with nobody in 13B, so it was a pretty comfortable flight. In theory that's...

Firstly, apologies to anyone on QF1424 this morning - if you were delayed because a checked in passenger failed to board that'd be my fault... As it was the first time I've missed a flight where it wasn't the airline's fault, I'm curious to know how others handle this situation. I woke up at...

OK, I'll walk back some of my frustration with QF as it turns out they handled the cancellation very well after all. I received a callback from the QF call centre about 40 minutes after my initial call. By that time QF had rebooked me onto a direct flight with VA that gets me to Brisbane...

And again I find my self in exactly the same boat as you! I'm flying to Brisbane tomorrow, for some stupid reason I booked a QF flight in J. Everything seemed peachy until Qantas decided just now to cancel that flight. Of course Manage my Booking on the QF website still shows the flight as...

I sympathise @Pleb Status - I’m in almost exactly the same situation this morning. I’ve been WP for just over 10 years, about 18000 SCs mainly earned through ACIRC and AONEx fares, but I haven’t flown Qantas internationally for about 15 months and only managed 160 SC this last year. As of this...

The tipping point for me was when a 3rd Sydney flight was called and I was still sitting in the lounge waiting for an update on 1424. I had no idea at that point that 1424 had been cancelled and I'd been rebooked onto a much later flight. Had I waited for my re-booked flight I would have...

And after 5 hours waiting in Canberra I'm back home again, day trip to Sydney cancelled. In the end 1424 was cancelled but no announcement was made in the lounge - I didn't find out until I made my 3rd trip to the lounge entry desk and was told I'd been moved to an afternoon flight. Given the...

Yup, 1462 cancelled here. 1424 now scheduled for 9:00, though the Qantas app just sent me a push notification that it had been cancelled contrary to the lounge announcement just made.

Assuming that’s operated by the same aircraft as 1510, your plane is still on the ground in CBR awaiting several passengers who might have decided to go home rather than wait it out.

1424 is definitely here in Canberra. They’ve now boarded 1510 and 1464, but not 1424. No announcements or explanation as to why the later flights are leaving before ours. What was an understandable delay is quickly becoming a frustration at how this is being handled.

Here in CBR they just started boarding the 6:30am 717, but for some reason not the 6:05am Dash 8 which has dropped off the display boards (my flight). Plenty of confused people here as a result.
