    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Don't know what sort of wait times are current, only recall 2.5 hours + in the past. Anyhow, have no intention of interacting with these "coughs Qantas", now official, as Niki Savva explained on Insiders this morning & if she says it is true it is !

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    Good riddance, he still owes me $7000. That MSc, probably awarded by the Ryan University, stands for Master of Sneaky cons.

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    First up get rid of that stupid idiot Goyder who fell for the blarney from the ex Ryan Air employee which is where the rot started. As said by Branson, if you are a billionaire & want to become a millionaire buy an airline. Joyce says, if your are a nobody & want to become a millionaire run an...

    Article: The Unpublished Benefit of Paying for Preferred Seats

    Recently paid the Xtra on VA both ways MCY/MEL/MCY. For some reason the cost from MEL was slightly more than from MCY ?? Useful for pre-boarding/disembarkation, certainly better legroom & overhead locker space but the downside is it is a loong way to the loos down the back, which surely you...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    As usual, too little too late I hit a brick wall with EK advising me my "travel agent" aka QF had cancelled the flight. No contact possible with QF by any form & the ACA ? totally useless. After 6months+ my points suddenly re-appeared, again zero contact nor apology nor compensation as I had to...

    Travel Insurance 92yr old

    Agree, I came to CoverMore , Zurich as the underwriter is comme ci comme ca, but, I have also checked the reviews & have my doubts now. I did use them early this year for travel to the UAE based upon a family recommendation, but did not have to make a claim so not much help I am afraid.

    Travel Insurance 92yr old

    Exactly cgichard, this is just all "premium padding" , where are the Budget Direct, Youi, AAMI etc, etc. Well, nowhere it seems, as most are simply on-selling the likes of Allianz et al under a different banner.

    Travel Insurance 92yr old

    The devil is in the detail, & that is usually secreted away on page 92, as was Amex/Chubb clause that they only covered return flights ?? Interestingly, having just booked with QF, hopefully for the last time, they offer travel insurance but it is limited to the age of 69 !, counts me out...

    Article: Does Travel Insurance Cover Lost Points?

    NB, as Amex Travel Insurance is actually Chubb, hidden in the PDS is a statement that insurance only applies to RETURN travel, as shown in the article.

    Flybuys Survey posing Qantas Points Option

    Surely FB are not so stupid to believe all the QF blarney & their FF Pesos ! Case in point, QF wanted zillions of FF Pesos to fly 2 one way in J class BNE/PER. For way less points with SQ (plus a small top up from VA) I got 2 one way J class PER/SIN/DXB. 13 hours v 5. All the SQ points were...

    Emirates hikes up carrier charges on reward seats

    Totally agree poopie', there I am 71kg being told my luggage is 10kg overweight when the pax behind me is at least 120kg, & that is only the "behind" I love the idea of unlimited caviar, aka EK fish eggs of unknown origin. A tiny can of equally tiny, tasteless roe , probably out of Aquitaine...

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    " start your trip in Australia and have a return ticket that will get you back to Australia" Watch out with AMEX cover as hidden in the depths of the PDS hides a fact that Chubb will only cover a return air ticket & declined my request for 1 way J class tickets to Europe on those grounds...

    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Yet another doozy from DozyDFAT ! Where, on this planet, do you order a product for >$300 without any track & trace functionality available. Whether it is a case of wine or a chicken coop, I receive a multitude of updates on progress, NOT WITH DFAT's ineptitude. Then, they have the nerve to...

    Digital Passenger Declaration to Replace Incoming Passenger Card

    Yet another Doozy from DozyFAT ! Or, the ouija effect. First up, when departing why did they not think of adding a slip of paper in your passport regarding the need to register before returning. Considering the AEC printed 3x the electorate voting papers there must be plenty wafting around...

    Article: No Compensation for Qantas Catering Failures

    The only way is to vote with your arms/feet ? Had enough of the CEO, only interested in protecting his obscene bonuses. I blame the idiots who gave him the job to run the flag carrier, little did they know his MSc really meant Master of Sneaky cons, awarded by the Ryan University no doubt. I...

    Emirates cancelling flights booked through Qantas - What happens now?

    It was not EK that cancelled your booking but the Qantas crooks. Best of luck with "call Qantas", don't hold your breath.

    Emirates hikes up carrier charges on reward seats

    At least when Qantas Frequent Flyer increased the points required to book on Emirates, it gave its members three months of notice. There was no warning whatsoever about this latest change. What 3 months notice ?? My EK BNE/DXB J class booking made on Dec 24 2021 suddenly disappeared without...

    Qantas Accused of Price Gouging

    Sneaky ?, what can you expect from a Boss bottle fed at Ryan, who once notoriously came up with a cunning plan to charge passengers to use the toilets !! I just love the comment, "The spokesperson also said that “if there are extenuating circumstances, we encourage people to talk to us”...

    Article: Why Keep Booking with Airlines that Screw You Over?

    Totally agree with a QF flight boycott, &, anything connected to QF such as WW & credit cards etc. My question is, "How can I claim redress for both financial ($7700) & mental distress (have never seen our son in DXB & 2year old Grandaughter since she was born) due to QF unilaterally...
