Is there anywhere in the lounges now which is a "quiet zone" i.e. doesn't have the piped in music playing in the background? It's really annoying when on the phone and even playing music through headphones doesn't block it out.

My approach to WA will be like my approach to the 737 MAX: I will wait for a long period of flawless operation before I go anywhere near it...

Very useful, thank you @Berlin and @sudoer . I know the travel credits are meant to push business the way of Amex Travel but didn't realise they were such a dog's breakfast. I'm thinking of applying for the Qantas Ultimate and looks like I would be safest using the TC for simple return domestic...

Hi - do you have examples of why they are such a bad travel agency? Thinking of applying for an Amex with TC

My first flight has just been credited and I am now waiting for the second after having submitted the boarding pass. You will need to the full boarding pass including the right hand quarter which is often ripped off, as this includes your booking reference number and ticket number. If they have...

My claim for a missing BA flight continues. After submitting my boarding pass, they have written back that they want me to send them the e-ticket to confirm the fare class. When you purchase with BA, you only get an e-ticket receipt and I have forwarded this to them. I wonder if QF is trying to...

I just had an email response from the Frequent Flyer Contact centre - I need to send in a coloured copy (as an attachment, not an embedded file) of either my boarding pass or my baggage tags as proof I have taken the flight. I have a second BA flight and have asked whether I will need to do the...

Has anyone experienced issues with crediting of BA flights? I took two flights last month which never posted and I have submitted claims online for the missing points and status credits. The earlier claim has already gone well past the 14 days since I submitted it, and the status of the claim...

I liked their ad campaign from a few years ago....

I can understand that - I have been United-free since 2008. While I'm not quite as vehement as some on FlyerTalk are about them ("I would rather walk or swim than board a United flight again" is one signature I have seen), there are far better places to direct my travel dollars.

The story of @andydj should have the alarms flashing DEFCON 5 at Qantas HQ. Rebooking 48 business class flights to do international transits in the USA??? On United??? Oh, the humanity...! That said, I am currently in hour 3 on hold with Medibank regarding travel insurance, my call has been...

For what it's worth, Diners Club isn't listed as an option on Qantas' Cards and Banking page as I write this: [removed link - appears to have nasty tracking cookies attached when coming from AFF]

I think you are right. The number of ICU beds they have in the whole country limits their ability to "let it rip". Thanks for the tip, good to know. However, I have given up making ANY flight bookings until there is some certainty about the ability to travel on the flights I book. And with NZ...

My late June flights to NZ which I had rebooked to October have now been cancelled by QF without even the option of rebooking, just moved straight to a flight credit.

It also doesn't cost anybody anything to prepare for the possibility that an 'exception' product such as the fee free for life Signature card is not transitioned over. The "for life" is always the life of the product, not the life of the member. I understand the business sense this would make...

I suspect it is a business trade off they considered: 1. Losing the business of those who refuse to be vaccinated; or 2. Losing the business of those who refuse to fly an airline which doesn't mandate pax vaccination. I suspect the dollars (and sense) thankfully landed on losing the former and...

Credit cards: I had a "fee free for life" card in the US which was part of a portfolio acquired and migrated to a different product. And it doesn't even take an acquisition to change the terms, the fee free for life Macquarie Hilton Visa dropped its benefits when Macquarie and Hilton decided to...

I have experiences where credit cards, online share traders and margin lenders I have used have been acquired and a year or two later, one of the key reasons I was using them was taken away by the acquirer. In NAB's own investor presentation...

Agree. For me, Big 4 = Definite No Way.

Another triple points offer, but given that I still haven't been able to take the bookings I made months ago, I'm not booking any further flights let alone holidays until the vaccination rollout catastrophe ends are there is a little more certainty. Our favourite Aussie destinations are...
