    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    The problem , again, is that Qantas tried to use BoR as a defence in the cases mentioned. It was not sustainable as a defence and Qantas quickly relented. All the BoR defence did was highlight how poor and in many cases illegal Qantas' service is. The BoR has always been strongly in Qantas's...

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    Understand, but over 82000 specific cases and it really was not about the bundle of rights even though Qantas initially said it was but then relented. While bundle of rights was Qantas's position - and generally correct if within the consumer law, customers of Qantas are not just buying a bundle...

    ACCC action re cancelled Qantas flights

    It was much much more than that. The consumer legislation worked as intended because Qantas admitted to: Breaching the Australian consumer Law by engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct, making false or misleading representations about more than 82,000 flights between May 2022 and May 2024...

    What's your Uber experience?

    Ive checked with a friend who has a brother who is an Uber driver I can confirm: Drivers not able to edit fares, add tolls, edit invoices, edit route taken after the trip has finished. They can't edit the Uber recommended routes but they can change the destination in the app. Bear in mind...

    In a few years there are going to be a small number of no hand drives with the introduction of autonomous self driving. 🤣

    You will have problems in the UK. Conventions are locally specific. (Assuming conventions are followed - which are much more observed in th UK)

    Short Rides from SYD

    Its free to download, and good idea to familiarise onself with it. It will detect your current position and use that as the starting point but you can insert a dummy starting point to see the fares. Your current position can be modified once you book a car by moving the location pin to more...

    AC34 query

    My understanding is you do not have to collect bags and recheck at YVR if both tickets are issued by AC even though you have 2 tickets. But they have to be issued by AC meaning the tickets have 014 as the first 2 digits on the ticket serial number. That the flight number is the same for both...

    What's your Uber experience?

    Thanks for clarifying In any case I think this is an Uber error rather than any malfeasance on the part of the driver because AFAIK there is no way for the driver to edit any route, tools, or invoice. Uber controls all of the billing I wonder though does Uber have a self correcting feature...

    Very uncluttered garage 👍

    What's your Uber experience?

    Ok: but falsified is a bit far for me because I don't think it's possible for a driver to edit an invoice, edit tolls edit route. What would be the route using the tolls as waypoints?.

    What's your Uber experience?

    Ok, different yes. Do the tolls charges coincide with that route?

    What's your Uber experience?

    I don't think that is possible. AFAIK there is no possible way for a driver to manually change the route and add tolls (ie edit) from an "offline" mode. Your route appears very similar to the one I posted. I suspect the problem is error not malfeasance. One other possibility is that the driver...
