Hi AFF. I would like to renew at the discount rate. Can I do this through AFF as usual and if so, how? Many thx.

I have'nt read every page in this thread, so I'm not sure if this has been covered but under the Qantas conditions for re-booking a fare with a credit voucher was this: Vouchers can only be used towards a fare of equal or higher value than the original fare you purchased. My voucher is for...

Ditto. I have 6 upcoming QF domestic flights scheduled, starting late next week. I think there's buckleys chance of QF getting me to where I need to be, so I'm holding off and will hopefully get a refund on all of them. I'm not too concerned with a voucher as it will get used quickly enough but...

Be thankful it's not the ABC!

Qantas is not an el-cheapo, Ryanair-type airline, but it's not too much higher above that level. Having said that, here goes: 1. Destroy, sell, compact at Simsmetal or melt all 737 aircraft. I detest them with a pathological hatred and would rather fly across the ditch in a Sopwith Camel. 2...

Coffee in a mug? How Neanderthal/American is that. My good sir, coffee must only be served in proper small cups. Mugs? It’s just not right... 😂

Jetstar really is a useless airline. I avoid it like the plague unless there’s no other option. My daughter’s recent Sunday flight to Bali was cancelled. 5 hour wait at Sydney airport only to be told that the next available flight was Thursday. Thankfully she had insurance and was reimbursed for...

Got ripped off by Budget at Canberra airport in March last year (2016). After leaving my car with a full tank, I noticed a $30-ish amount debited to my Mastercard. I phoned the local Canberra office immediately. They instantly apologized for their "error" and credited the amount back to me. It...

I always fly Southwest in USofA. Cheap but reasonable airline.

My carry on is ridiculously small by most standards. I'm always happy to check stuff in. But yes, the Septics have always loaded up with ridiculously enormous amounts of carry on. Why? So they can get to their car/taxi/rental a few minutes quicker and get to a restaurant before they die of...

Never did overly like the A380. I have flown on them often but I remember back to my first ever flight on an A380 SYD-LAX. The finish was third world. Door panels held together with duct tape. Seats not working. Still, it's a relatively quiet plane and enjoyable enough. I still pine for the 727...

Interesting thread. After leaving employment with TN in 1991, I have flown most probably 700 flights, maybe 50% long haul. I now work for a Baptist missionary organisation. I rarely have any money and my costs are met by God alone, through prayer. Interesting life indeed. I wonder sometimes...

Currently sitting in a reasonable hotel in Nahkon Sawon, about 3 hours drive north of Bangkok. Actually it's most probably the only reasonable hotel in NS, but that's another story. Everything has a price, and even the dodgy hotels I frequent in Bangkok are a bargain. (I have no expense account...

Yes I understand the $19 fee, but the 4.99% commission fee is a new one on me.

Yep Jetstar site. Yes it could be. I booked in AUD and upon buying the fares, the site crashed. It re-directed me then purchase in SGD. I got out of that screen and logged in again using AUD and it seems that the 4.99% fee has disappeared. Thanks for your assistance! The moral of the this...

This morning I was just about to book a SIN-BKK-SIN trip through Jetstar. I was all ready to push the buy button, when in addition to the the usual credit fee, there is now a 4.99% commission fee, being an extra $19. Does anyone happen to know what this "commission fee" is all about. My fare is...

Sorry, yes it should be DXB.

Quick question to the sages here on AFF. My wife and I am flying QF next month (CFS-SYD-DUB-MAD-DUB-SIN-SYD-CFS) with several stopovers included. All flights are QF flight numbers so I'm assuming lounge entry(s) shouldn't be a problem. Our eldest (adult) daughter has now decided to come with...

Nice photos. Awesome planes.

Happy days.
