complaints & resolution

Is there a way that you can contact someone in qantas that will actually take on board a complaint?

Since July, I have been experiencing issues for online purchases using my ANZ credit card - even $10-00 was being declined. I would have to contact the call centre - one time waiting nearly 25 minutes to get the temporary fix so the transaction would go through. It was then I lodged a...

I was recently in New Zealand and during my stay received a text message from Air New Zealand which said, clearly referring to my domestic NZ flight, "If you're up for a change, we're also offering booking flexibility, to allow you to move to another flight of the same route over the next few...

I recently booked a flight within South America on LATAM and chose the "Premium Economy" option, which allows fee-free changes (fare difference is still payable) or a full refund. I booked this on the Australian version of the LATAM website. For some reason, when you do this, it processes your...

Is “referred to the Specialist Team” really Qantas Customer Service speak for consigning my complaint to the rubbish bin? The response to my complaint in October was that it had been referred to the Specialist Team. Have followed up twice since and each time have been assured that my issue has...

Hi Team, hoping to get some guidance about the potential for compensation due to a cancellation on an international Qantas rewards fare. In January 2023, we were fortunate enough to get 2 business class Qantas rewards fares at relative short notice from Sydney to Paris via Shanghai with China...

Let me explain this situation; I currently have 250/300 status credits required to attain silver after a recent Qantas/AA trip to the USA, booked independently (my credits cycle expires Feb 29). However last year I took two group trips to London on Emirates (one in May one in August) and I...

Hi All, My complaint may seem like a first world problem, and yes it is, but when QF charges ludicrous prices, decent service is expected by crew, as is a policy and environment to help produce it by management. I haven’t made a complaint in years and have had worse experiences and tend to...

Would anyone have a suggestion regarding the name of a commercial solicitor to provide advice on an airline frequent flyer contract?

I regret to have to moan about a not-so-good predicament I now find myself in regarding my SQ redemption booking. This is a prolonged saga so I will get on with getting down the details. 1. Originally I booked an F redemption from MEL-HKG-SFO for June of this year about 11 months in advance...

Good news! From the Oz on-line Airbus and Qatar end bitter dispute over A350 surface issues (probably paywalled, try 12ft – Hop any paywall Some extracts:

I submitted a complaint to Qantas over 3 months ago. I want to refer my complaint to the Airline Customer Advocate but it says on their website to wait for the time stipulated on Qantas’ customer charter. I’ve read their charter and they don’t specify a time they take to respond to your...

Hi all I submitted a complaint to Qantas on the 21st of April and still haven’t heard back from them. I’m guessing that’s normal thesedays but does anyone else have any examples of the time it’s taken for qantas to get back to them from complaints they’ve made recently?

As it says in the title, I’m suffering from another Qantas System Failure. I have already phoned the call centre many times, I have filed a Customer Care form via the QF website, and I have sent an email to Stephanie Tully (or at least an email address with her name on it that probably goes to...

There are now almost 2,000 posts in the Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times thread, and it seems almost daily there are new threads popping up on AFF with people sharing their nightmares of trying and failing to get basic customer service from Qantas. I met with some friends yesterday in the...

Hi all, I just had a platinum charge card application rejected, saying I did not comply with payment terms before on one of my cards... While I just had one unsuccessful payment due to a bank issue on one Amex credit card, which is paid in full later before due... and I check with the account...

Has anyone received a refund from Oman Air for a cancelled reservation? I was told my refund would be processed in late Jan (6 months after the cancellation of my reservation) and 12 months after booking. I've now been told that the refund has been "authorised" and would be "another few weeks...

I posted here about a successful TID Claim TID - successful outcome after me delaying the claim Glad to report that CoverMore came to the party on a second claim for an immediately subsequent trip that was also affected. I wasn't expecting a result on this one, as the claim was limited to a...

It's obvious to anyone that's travelled during the COVID-19 pandemic that things aren't the same as they used to be. Obviously there are increased hygiene measures in place - which makes complete sense - but there's also a lot of cost-cutting going on. Airlines, hotels and many other businesses...
