Yes - that you don't expect to need to make any changes, and that if you do need to, you accept it will cost more, and be more hassle than if you booked direct.

This is the part of your post that is correct. As per Equus post, you don't get a baggage allowance based on Qantas, with Finnair. You get it because of your oneworld status. Which is sapphire. And as Equus wrote, this is one piece extra on 'piece' based trips. This is the confirmation of the...

They do deal with local TAs, so should be able to take care of it.

Tried when it opened, with Jet* operating exclusively from there. They found it was not popular so switched to both airports. While other airlines chose to avoid the lack of popularity and difficulties in connections.

I didn't think much of his answer, and it seems unlikely to add up. When asked about 75% going down or not flying enough, he tried to brush it off as "winners and losers". Yet who are the winners? It's really just losers. Then tried to sell it as only people not being "loyal", and saying "well...

That's never sold in isolation. It's just a different inflight bundle with different inclusions, not a standard offering. Plus status overrides it. So again, can't see them telling their FF members no lounge for you if you book a 24 hour flight with this partner. It would be a false economy.

While they haven't announced that detail yet, I can't see them not including it. Since we're talking about much longer distances and the market space (and partner) they're operating in. Can't see Qatar permitting customers booking these flights to not have lounge access, whereas if they book...

They've been required to, to get this authorisation. If they didn't, no sales while they waited for approval. Which would impact their planned booking schedule and revenue potential.

Sounds like Dizz has lost access now, but I tried that avenue in my case. There is the 'provision' to request cancellation online, but: 1) It says fees will be charged, so wasn't keen to intentionally incur charges, which may cause separate issues/arguments trying to get refunded 2) As the...

You haven't said how you will be earning points. Assuming it's just for VA flights in Australia, note you only get status for VA flights with a QR code, so not a lot of options domestically. Otherwise you'll only be earnings Avios. Which will take a lot of flights to earn for a trip to Europe...

It's not poor coding, but given you have to back track 2/3 of the trip, plus I suspect they haven't aligned the connection times, so you'd have a 12+ hour connection in Abu Dhabi, so they just don't offer it. It's not just these new routes, but most Asian destinations that aren't offered to...

All fair comments (though RCL especially is nowhere near that pricing now - and not sure there is that much variety in the Caribbean market, especially with the multitude of private islands to extend the onboard experience). But not aligned with Virgin's PR that they want to return, but the...

Except they haven't. Often and ideally in such submissions, they would call it out; say "as a result of xx, our application no longer excludes/no longer removes loyalty redemption and earning on airlines in Europe; whatever so we have clarified/removed this.' Instead they try to bluster past...

Interesting how the submission admits they made a mistake in their previous submission, regarding changes to Singapore Air, and Virgin Atlantic and SAA. Yet just calls it a "misunderstanding by respondents to their submission." Yeah, right.

Nobody suggested that diverting around west Africa was for profit, of course it was due to the trouble around the Middle East. Some continue to do so, as it only adds a few days in the scheme of things. The issue is the cancellation of their subsequent season in this region, which had been for...

No reason they have to sail empty. There are other cruises as well as the VV cruise back to Europe that went via Africa and carried passengers. So there's no reason to turf already booked passengers, except that you care more about profits than customer experience. And in the service industry...

What's the deception? It says EconomyX was "From $15". And EconomyX was from $15. That doesn't mean every EconomyX seat was $15. If it said "EconomyX $15*" and * hidden somewhere else said "* From $15" that would be deceptive. This wasn't.

How does it benefit them broadly to get rid of customers? Remembering also that if they "rarely fly much" per your scenario, they also don't cost VA much. And they're not in a position of being the premium, dominant carrier where customers will automatically flock to them. While their food is...

It sounds like you're asking because you're thinking of buying an economy ticket, then bidding to upgrade. Some things to keep in mind in that case: -while it's not uncommon in some form, it's not a given that it will be offered as there are often other restrictions on it e.g. it usually...

From the way it's been written it sounds like it. The use of the word "from" isn't illegal or banned either. And it's not uncommon for airlines to have different prices for different seating upgrades/zones. Given others have confirmed there was a promo only for exit row seats, I don't see...
