I certainly liked the old system when it comes to the situation where business class is often cheaper than flex. ;) I'm not so sure I'm too upset about the new system, perhaps that I might earn less for business than economy - lol. But being able to just look at price and schedule is somewhere...

Just looking at a last minute flight booking. Options are direct with choice at $350, and flex at $370, or a connection in flex @$343. Status earing at 12 per $, I make the difference to be 2 or 3 status credits. Seems like there is no incentive in earning to not fly direct. Have I got this...

Hard call now. Do I take the double sc from Qantas on a couple of trivial domestic flights, or the $25 birthday present from Virgin business flyer? lol

I actually think the Lite terms and conditions are being applied to all segments based on the disproportionately high cancellation fee. And of course, the business flyer portal cannot show me the fare rules. Manage booking only lists fare rules for the lite fare basis. As you say, the same low...

Sri Lankan also sent me an email with the payment info. plus 081 ticket number 5 hours before the Ticketing email from Qantas. Although, an email that anyone could bodgy up I'll try Finnair Thank you

I'll agree to disagree about the suggestion of aggression. I feel no aggression, just confusion about the need to focus on technicalities that have no bearing on the issue raised. Because they're not providing any useful help. They have not considered the question raised. They just seem to want...

No worries, thanks. I was probably over thinking the secrecy of the flight dates.

Have just done a second call and authored an email to business flyer after looking in detail. I have a cancelation fee - no free refund. They want over $500 in cancelation fee for a $1400 total fare. ADL-MKY-ADL when booking was routed via BNE. Therefore two "legs" ADL-MKY, MKY-ADL from a logic...

As does my other award e-ticket from November last year. However, this is not an E-ticket, as mentioned in the OP. Yes, I've even scrolled all 5 pages of the "Itinerary Receipt", there is no information to show the payment. I guess at this stage this is an anomaly, not a change in practice.

Just want to share my experience with booking a return business class flight with Virgin, to a destination (Mackay) that requires a connection in Brisbane. Booked using business flyer.. One leg MacKay-Brisbane was originally operated by an F100 - economy only. I sucked it up for convenient...

Yes, of course I'm referring to the confirmation email, that's why I said the confirmation was received. As per my post, the document attached to that email had the title "itinerary receipt" and it contained no information about the cash component. I have since received an email 16 hours later...

Has Qantas changed the information they provide for award bookings. I booked an award today with Qantas for flights on Emirates, the confirmation came in ok. But the attached document was an "Itinerary Receipt". There was no receipt included for the $1500 in +++!!!! This is rather annoying as...

not really that embarrassing, I've made much worse mistakes... still here. Thanks for the info about Adelaide. I must say i do tend to like basic, no frills pizza pesto fetta, margaherita for example. Adelaide sounds better than the perth pizza i remember. thanks

Crew luggage blocking restricted overhead areas (exit row, front row economy and business is common on most airlines. Not an A220 only issue. Yeah, pre-departure drink is nice. Personally have never needed one for hydration purposes. Perhaps if there is a risk of serious de-hydration, like...

First rule of flight club.... Possibly something about the real world options for treatment of a work related award flight, beyond benefits directly related to the flight.

I'm contemplating a qantas award booking for a work trip. Used to be beneficial to do manage booking with one of the middle eastern airlines (Saudia, I think). Does anyone know if that's still a useful thing to check out? If so, which airline? In this case, the cash fare costs about $2500 more...

Maybe adding only to the pseudo-data, this year I've had a surprising success rate with poitns upgrade requests. from Premium Y and and Y to business. Oz- to/from USA and PER to/from CDG.

True and when vissat 3 EMEA is launched it's going to take on vissat3 americas and the current vissat 3 americons is going to be vissat3 EMEA We can also see that until Vissat3 -APAC is launched Qantas has Skymuster = limited to continental Australia. plus, of course, the "partner satellites"...

The tech is the reason for the difference in views between both airlines. The issue is not at the aircraft end it is at the satellite end. Having an aircraft with "coverage" is useless if there is nothing to connect out to. It's pretty well known that Qantas connectivity is pretty much limited...

Fairly enough. Unfortunately, the OP hasn't really given info on why connection is vital. MY speculation is what would happen when the OP goes on their protected annual leave; do they need to be connected? They're paid to work 8 hours a day, do they need to be connected for the other 16 hours a...
