I haven't seen any data points since @Mattg original post on Economy Lite fares, so quick update from me...... it is now possible to upgrade some? all? Economy Lite fares through the UpgradeMe process, just had both my legs of a super cheap Economy Lite fares successfully upgraded through...

Agree, QF may be able to claim it wasn't an "incident" because in their eyes it did not compromise their business (in a hackers eyes, their business definitely had points where it was compromised)...... but the focus in their wording "there is no evidence of a cyber....." was clearly to draw the...

An update on the Qantas App issue “On Wednesday we experienced an issue with the homepage……..” Nope - it was broader than the homepage. “there is no evidence of a cyber incident.” Nope - a cyber incident includes events that are a failure of safeguards or a previously unknown situation that...

Take advantage of Flybuy’s bonuses that align with your existing spend patterns, so essentially they are zero cost for points or close to the $0.01 per dollar arising from fees……. Flybuys often give spend $50/month for 4 weeks months for 10,000 points (5,000 velocity points/month) Coles often...

Not sure I have seen any reductions……. June, July and Aug 2023 I was purchasing Brisbane to Cairns for $532 (for dates 2 to 6 month out). Now $591 as you note, so it has gone up slightly for the BNE-CNS route. I have experienced same experience as you with travel agents pricing for Qantas...

Yep, lots of problems for a long time - Clear Cache, Change Browser, Log-in to account first, one or many of those solutions will work :-). I have installed Duck-Duck-Go browser on my iPad as a very quick way to start again with a clean browser when I experience issues like this on my everyday...

Agree. Very common. I always test run with one seat to find route and pricing, then go to two seats to validate availability at that pricing.

Technically yes, you loose the priority boarding if on different tickets. In Practice - you never do. I have done this for years with myself and my partner. Lounge access is different, you are a guest of your partner either way (same or different tickets). So once again no issues

It not clear to me that the x20 applies to anything but the Apple Cards…… the x20 is surrounded by Apple logos to to left and above…… the t+c below the x20 does not say what cards are included, so I will be interested to see if it does apply to Visa pre-paid etc….

I called twice before being billed and they said no to discount both times. Rang straight after being billed and got $350 back. Note, I did not say I was going to cancel, just the cost was too much for the benefits and I discussed what benefits were of no value to me and they gave me the...

Yes agree, always fixed in a flash….. but you do have to wait in line to get to the check-in counter…… if you are like me who will only travel with hand luggage (domestic or international), that is one line I like to avoid and go straight to the lounge. I also don’t like the idea that my seat...

The airlines always tend to overcome these specific issues, but the mildly annoying thing for me is when you book using your FF number and the system populates with your FF details (which are locked), then you are asked for your passport details in APIS (Advance Passenger Information), which are...

Just put your first name. In my experience, that is the most accepted version for when you are doing international booking on other airlines. Qantas, continues to have middle initial on many early accounts (like mine) but that has not caused any confusion to date for me, but it is not what is...

My understanding is that when an upgrade slot(s) is released, the system will process all requests in terms of your priority order at the time of processing. So if the slot is released before you hit platinum, you will be gold in the process order, if the slot is released after you have reached...

Two business classic rewards limitation is very standard. You will rarely find more. No issues with bringing in 2 guests on the same flight as you - they will be granted access on the basis you are a business class passenger (status not required). Changing seats mid flight….. not technically...

Agree 100%. Buy your insurance as soon as you pay for your first tickets. Your 12 months time limit won't start until your first trip, but the policy (pre-trip clauses) start as soon as you pay for the insurance. Insolvency is one clause I have been able to use pre-trip to get my ticket money...

Came through straight away. Day of, or day after settlement for me.

The two biggest to have a look at are Amex Platinum Charge Card and the Citi Prestige Card. Both have travel insurance and international lounge access akin to Diners. Key difference for Australian Domestic travels is Amex Platinum gives you Virgin Lounge access (so not airline agnostic) and Citi...

I maintain a spreadsheet with all my point accounts and what action my next of kin should take (it is filed with my Will). This is what I have recorded for my Amex Account:

A slight tangent to the thread, but I forgot my whole bag after putting it on the conveyor…… I just walked off…… it wasn’t for about five minutes afterwards that I realised I had to pick it up after scanning…….. unfortunately for me I was also totally unaware of the requirements (1990 and it was...
