Ok well that does make sense. And it’s a good result. Breaking a married segment rule can be problematic.

Has anyone had any experience trying to transfer money out of this card? Say I were to decide to blow $60K at the Waldorf Astoria in NY (so transfer 50K above my limit into the account) however then change my mind and cancel it, can I retrieve the funds?

Was it an AY to AY connection within 24 hours? Could be true in that case (married segments). That said… does anyone believe an email would come back in a few minutes?

I’ve only booked two of these in the last year and hearing that like has me tearing my hair out. It’s a blatant lie (like most of the BS that comes from the call centres) but there seems to be nothing that can be done. I’m dreading adding a single JFK-DFW in a few weeks when it opens up.

And don’t bother asking for a “supervisor” or “manager”. They’re no better. I’ve noticed the Fijians are the worst at escalating. Cultural I guess. I’ve even had one say “I’m sorry. I’m looking at my manager now and she’s shaking her head and doesn’t want to talk”.

Allowances are generally paid on duties that require the purchase of provisions. Ie: a layover. It’s not part of ones’ salary.

It looks fine. Is there availability CDG-HEL instead of BCN-HEL? It could be a millage issue. That will also kill their argument regarding the surface sector. Their argument is wrong, but fighting them can be more effort than it's worth (for the sake of a quick BCN-CDG flight).

It’s a massive pain arriving somewhere around midnight as booking online becomes a problem. The CityLodge at JNB is massive so I’m surprised there wasn’t a room available (and it’s generally not too expensive). Protea and Premier are also close by and big. But the issue is finding availability...

I will, but it largely feels like a waste of time. The last OWA I booked was almost as painful and I never even got a response from customer care. Qantas knows how bad their call centres (and website) are, however they actively elect to do nothing to fix it.

This is why I fly SQ to South Africa. Qantas just isn’t worth it. When things go wrong, they go very wrong.

So glad I'm out of QF points after this one! Needed to make a booking with 7 "Flight" segments so couldn't be done online. Got through to Suva and was told SYD-HKG wasn't available. It's on QF and clearly was (only Silver... but still gets a little more access!). Can't seem to get it through the...

Please review the following items Qantas.com flight search error: We are unable to confirm the fare for the flights you have selected from the airlines we search. Please cancel these segments and choose a different fare or flights and resubmit your confirmation request. (15012 - 1009) I'm...

True. Our goal should be a society without classes. Do you know the people up here are getting cookies!!!

Yep ANZ are a joke. I think they’re actually targeting people who are likely to default on this card, or at least pay them a lot of interest. The minute it becomes obviously one is a fairly wealthy, high income earner they get very difficult.

I'm looking to book a OWA however leave the last leg back to Aus off until they become available on QF. I'll be waiting for the DEL-MEL sector which does seem to consistently become available 320ish days out. Has anyone run into too many "that's for new bookings only" when adding QF sectors...

I’ve noticed the airport Maccas workers tend to jump in front of even the crew at security 🙄. The general public clearly doesn’t have much of an idea as to the critical role the crew play.

I’m still not seeing justification there for the government to purchase and run an airline. It’s a minuscule number of routes that could easily be picked up by decent operators. If they elect not to, the government can subsidize and put it to tender.

To an extent they are… hence the government subsidizes routes. Aside from Parkes and Moruya, what routes does Rex operate under its own steam? All government subsidized routes can be handed to other players. Airlines that, you know, haven’t gone bust. Link, QantasLink, hinterland, Skytrans...

Why not? Apply, interview and accept. Then you can use the staff queue.

Use DiDi. They still use the old pickup area and it seems to work better. QF crew (contract dependent) are entitled to transport home after a long haul sector. This would generally be a prebooked HC. Knowing Qantas, I can assume they’ve flicked this entitlement to Uber and the crew quite...
