In that case I wouldn't worry about trying to book a multi stop itinerary, and just book separate tickets. Do a search for AMS to DUB, then DUB to REK, REK to HEL. Then you won't be tied to being on specific airlines either. Flights in Europe are such short distances and (usually) so cheap...

There's no perfect answer to this question. If you're chasing those increasingly unicorn-esque long haul business class redemptions then yes 1c pp isn't very good. If your goal is to get value out of your points and keep money in your pocket, I personally think 1c pp is perfectly acceptable...

I'm enjoying the more frequent schedule. One bit of feedback is that the audio volume I noticed to be a bit low compared to other podcasts. Topically, I was trying to listen to the podcast on a plane with some low quality earbuds (so the worst possible combination of "being able to hear...

Not personally, but the advice I always suggest is to check if your adblocker killing it (if you have one on, try disabling it), and to try a different browser.

Nice tip in the recent podcast about the Didi 1000 point velocity bonus. I'm overseas for a couple of years and velocity points aren't useful here, so it was a good way to extend the expiry date on my modest velocity balance!

I've definitely seen some transatlantic availability before from Europe to USA, but not always. They have a fair few routes into USA from Madrid and Barcelona so it can definitely take some trial and error to find. It's worth seeking out because other than Finn Air, other Qantas partners can...

This link's even better, it's got all Oneworld airlines already selected (Including Qatar though). Oneworld Route Map - Flights and Destinations

I think Tanzania will be the real challenge here. Qatar flies there from Doha, but there is practically no availability for Qantas customers on their flights due to them hating each other's guts. Apparently Oman flies there too, which could become an option when they eventually join, if that...

I was referring to this form https://www.qantas.com/au/en/support/contact-us/customer-care-feedback-form.html There's an option to manually enter flight details if it can't find them automatically. The option says "Flight not listed? Enter the flight details here."

I'd personally submit your request through their web form. You could try calling too.

According to Our partner airlines and railways | Emirates United Kingdom, Emirates has an interline agreement with RJ, so as long as you're on one ticket, I believe your bags should make it all the way though.

Considering you've put this on the Oneworld thread, you should know that the single oneworld connection to Mauritius is on BA to London. The other non Oneworld Qantas partners I can see that fly there are Air France to Paris and Emirates to Dubai. I don't expect Qantas points, or the Qantas...

Also note that Emirates redemptions charge an extortionate amount of fees on top, meaning it might not be worth your while even if you find redemptions. I'd play with options via Asia, as well as looking for different options from Europe in the first place. Flightconnections.com can be really...

I'd email [email protected] They should be able to help

I'd bet post-security that the duty free sells extortionately expensive Vegemite.

In the comments of the original review video in question, I saw comments from QR staff talking about how the airline treats them very poorly, with plenty of upvotes and engagement on the comments. I wonder if it's the fact that his video elicited this kind of commentary to come out, more than...

The sign of good regulation is when the regulated companies don't like them. Otherwise you wouldn't need the government to force them to look after their customers.

You should be fine to do that, getting bags short checked is pretty routine. It's the official government advice to do that too. https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/tourist-refund-scheme/trs-common-questions

I agree this is important, and is a component of the equivalent laws in Europe. In a retail context, Australia has strong consumer laws, but you'll find that people often don't know their rights and are mislead by service staff or retailers when it comes to matters of refunds and warranties. It...

On the topic of an "AU261" I think this would absolutely go a long way in better aligning the incentives of airlines to do the right thing by their customers. Late flights, cancelled flights and downgrades should be a rare occurrence, not a free tool airlines can use without consequence. The...
