Here's a photo of the lasagne option. I had this on a recent flight from DPS. It wasn't bad - mine had quite a bit of mince so at the time I thought it was a passable replacement for the butter chicken. For comparison here's the butter chicken from a trip in November just before it was...

Got an e-mail from Optus today advising that the partnership has ended and that I'd only receive points until Apr 2025 and that the next 12 months worth of points would be credited in advance, in quarterly instalments. I agree with this. The way roaming works with Optus is a real pain. By...

Didn’t know that - thanks, good call!

Ah OK. I'm guessing this is because your tickets were revalidated rather than being reissued. Did you get new ticket numbers? If so, the e-ticket receipt should display a new date. If the tickets were simply revalidated then the ticket number wouldn't have changed and the new e-ticket receipt...

For the date the ticket was issued yes, but not the PNR create date. I just got an updated e-ticket receipt due to schedule change today and the e-ticket receipt has the date the ticket was issued but the PNR was created months before that.

Before COVID, QF used to send "Flight Switch" text messages to pax on heavily loaded flights offering gift vouchers to move flights. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/travel-info/flight-switch.html I think the main intent was the revenue opportunity. The tech allowed them to safely "oversell" a...

Thank you! Good to know. I'll continue to hold my horses.

I completed the form last week and got the confirmation e-mail but still no upgrade. I might give it a few more days and then try my luck with the customercareau (at) hertz.com e-mail address. Has anyone successfully been upgraded to Hertz PC?

Damn! Thanks for the update on this. That is a huge shame. 😣

It means that when a call centre consultant searches for availability from within an existing booking (the "PNR availability") to make changes, the availability they see is different to what they would see if they were creating a new booking from scratch ("general availability").

If you can't be bothered calling QF and you want to find the PNR creation date (which is what matters for DSC) you can enter the booking reference and last name into My Booking on the Malaysia Airlines website. It will show up under "Date of issue" up the top of the page. Just make sure that...

Yep this is it. Experienced consultants in HBA/AKL know how to get around it. Very hit and miss with the other centres. I've shared in a previous thread that I asked both HBA and AKL consultants how they got around it in case I got another consultant who didn't know how to fix it and they both...

I just tested this further with a couple of my bookings. It seems like bookings made with points you can cancel without being logged in but you need to log in to make changes. However for cash bookings, MMB will let you change and cancel the flight even if not logged in.

I just tried "Manage Booking" in the app and it directed me to a "semi" authenticated view of MMB. It didn't log me into my QFF account but it showed me the same view that I would see if I just use the PNR/last name to manage my booking rather than logging in. If this was possible to do for...

I've got experience in this domain and I think you've nailed it. Absolutely reeks of a misconfigured cache and explains why people with trips/boarding passes for today seem to be the ones who were disproportionately exposed as they would have used the app very recently and their data would be...

I take Dash8 flights regularly and I've only ever had baggage offloaded travelling to/from Lord Howe Island but that's fairly standard for that route due to the short runway (they also weigh everyone if there are more than 27 pax on the flight). Never had any issues with bags being offloaded for...

I've had it happen a few times even with Hobart. Sometimes they simply forget to apply the fee waiver. Never a big issue to get it fixed. Each time I've called reservations they've said "well that shouldn't have been charged" and had it reversed.

Came across this gem in today's edition of things I read that left me with fewer brain cells than before: https://www.escape.com.au/travel-advice/qantas-code-you-dont-want-to-see-on-your-boarding-pass/news-story/70a7f5441e373a049228c2b439a894f6 Apparently flying on a turbo prop is so bad that...

OAG is another one that has gone from Q200/300 to Q400 for some flights. In the schedule for later on this year, MIM is also scheduled to go from Q200/300 to Q400 for some flights.

I believe the current on-market Optus plans include this by default which was one of the only difference between those and the Qantas SIM only plans. It would have been nice if they had of included it to bring the plans into parity, but it's a moot point now.
