As the actual crash is an impact with something, if the impact is with the ground, then by definition it will be a form of landing, and hence almost all crashed (other than mid air collisions) could be deemed a crash on landing. The more relevant assessment would be was it a crash when trying...

Thanks for that. Finally got around to updating my Toshiba Portege X20W-D which meets every criteria (speed. RAM, TPM etc.) except that it is a 7th Gen CPU (and that shouldn't really have been an issue as Microsoft made an exception for some of their Surface tablets that has only 7th gen...

Not me but my partner. Flying MEL-BNE. I was going to pick up from the airport, and monitoring scheduled arrival time so as to leave home and make the pick up - evening pick up as it was a close of business flight back. Leave home when around 20 mins to scheduled arrival (works out about...

The carrying capacity of the plane has nothing to do with the aggregate of the baggage allowances - it is almost certainly way less. The airline would be working on averages, and the individual allowances are just to help control the limits, reward loyalty and make money from excess baggage...

Maybe, maybe not. I have an Uncle who is a Pipe Major having played the bagpipes for a long time (Australian) who has performed at the Tattoo a few times. All those different bands from the various regiments etc. aren't really. Those that are playing doing multiple uniform / costume changes...

It would help to know if all those points are stop overs - and for how long, as well as class of travel etc.? You may well not need multi city. It could be a combination of one way, multi-jaw, with stopovers etc on multiple tickets. All depends on fare conditions etc. It was an award booking...

But what was the price before you booked? With the dynamic pricing and very small cabins, if an airline is willing to offer an award seat they may also be offering a cheaper fare bucket revenue seat that disappears as soon as the reward is redeemed instead. It may well have been the the cash...

I think some of the caveats in the article need to be taken more on board by the readers. The value of such an analysis is really on looking at the relative value of each scheme in comparison, and is using a "valuation" in cents per point to do it. As they say "value is in the eye of the...

To be honest, I wouldn't expect that any sophisticated scammer that had access to status information would try and sell "lifetime platinum" to someone who was currently P1. The point I was trying to make is that FF number is in a wide number of places, but status (correlated to FF number) is...

Anywhere that earns points - Woolworths Everyday rewards, BP etc. Also consider email being read from either an ISP or any relay on the way. If someone can read you email, name, FF number, status and old points balances are on those emails QFF sends out all the time.

Don't discount some of the "virtual" versions of such agents either. There are some very good agents that don't require the overhead of physical bricks and mortar as they work online (or via phone). All the same advantages of building the relationship, and sometimes easier because you don't...

All very well - but how much trust in what is printed on a device? Lots of cloned stuff printed up with all the compliance but the cheap clones just copy everything.

Now we know who that injunction was aimed at. :rolleyes:

The gate dragon won't be the problem for the checked baggage (if any), but could be for the carry on. As a single PNR, then the IATA baggage rules certainly apply, and that itinerary would be applying the QF rules. What you are entitled to on JQ does not include any status benefits - so...

Unless they are on the one PNR, when you are talking Jetstar, all you will have on Jetstar is what is on that ticket - so nil checked without paying for it.

All depends on who is making money out of something, and is it worth doing it yourself to save money. Many years ago I knew of a bus company that had a panel repair shop for cars (not buses), that was a full time enterprise that did nothing but repair cars that their buses hit. Was cheaper...

That would make sense. I have had lost (actually delayed) baggage, and got the extra email, +1 has been luckier, not lost any bags, and didn't get the extra email (although we both got the full card less meal preferences which we haven't set).

Depends on how the account got compromised. If a password / second factor reset was done by a QF call centre making use of compromised data, Qantas would pretty much be obliged to reinstate the booking on non-Qantas metal - even if they had to pay the commercial fare. You might have to push a...

That is not true. There are a lot of checks and balances, but it is not a blanket ban that applies to "all data" and "any level of Government".

I suspect that there has been a lot about what happened that has not been disclosed as yet (and may not be). It is being represented that a scammer has tricked a call centre agent into giving up their credentials which allowed the scammer to access the system and access the data. Unless...
