Hey Qantas, why is it that ....?

[boomy]

P.S. From memory I have never had a 737 substituted to a 767 on a domestic flight.

It happened to me a few times, mostly on MEL-SYD 8.30am flights.

Only if you have pre-allocated seats that map to 737. Eg 23F, 24D etc. 23J, 24J, 25J, 26J don't so you are left without seat allocation. Still not desirable but a little easier to notice when you are checking bookings for relevant seat allocations.

This happened to me this afternoon! QF450. For this reason I always choose K seats, didnt know the plane had changed until the boarding pass spat out with 4F. At first I thought I was lucky!

The change must have been late. They had to empty the 767 luggage containers they had packed with all the luggage to load it onto the 738. Delayed us by about 20mins.

To resurrect an old thread...

Qantas, why is it that airberlin flights appear in my bookings on qantas.com, but not American Airlines or even Jetstar bookings?

Because Air Berlin used Amadeus ... AA and JQ don't.

Actually that does make sense. Nonetheless I do think it would be a good idea for Qantas to list Jetatar flights under My Bookings, if possible. It would certainly make things a bit easier.

Why is it that when I have an itinerary starting with a red-eye flight, you send me an email trying to sell me a hotel at my destination for that night?

Because the automatons that send out those emails don't know any better.

Why is it I can earn more points and SC's on a Jetstar for a Y seat and pay less as opposed to a Y QF seat?

 

[roncritch]

because you have to put up with flying Jetstar!!

 

[dajop]

Maybe lower operating costs of Jetstar mean QF Limited make more profit from you being on Jetstar than on the most discounted QF fare.

...the surcharges on economy redemption to London are $250 less (one way) than business? I thought that these charges were for airport taxes etc and fuel?
Of course!!......... My Skybed II weighs twice as much as an economy seat. Think of all that eco-guilt

If the redemption is exLHR, the UK departure tax in any cabin other than the lowest, is rather remarkable. In fact, many remarks that are best left unprinted have been made. :shock: It will pay for the short trip to a European airport instead (if you have the time and inclination)

Happy wandering

I've already been burnt with that one in J. Always fly back from CDG or AMS etc
No, this is flying TO London Heathrow FROM Melbourne
AFAIK there is no APD flying into LHR so the only people loading up the extra charges are Qantas themselves.
$250 more YQ seems like another rip-off to me

The fuel surcharge alone on MEL-LHR is $270 in Y or $495 in J/F - a difference of $225. Yes, it's a big rip-off.

Maybe the Y passengers are more svelte?

 

[Buzzard]

....we are flying J to AKL and you will not give us an express pass

 

[Aussie_flyer]

well a J seat takes up significantly more space doesn't it....

Why is it cheaper to fly to Europe then Dubai?

 

[mannej]

This isn't something new - something which I have noted well before the EK and QF partnership.

How come we read about lovely boxed dinners but never receive them flying WA Regionals. Getting very sick of mystery balls paninis instead of fish and chips or nice pastas. Our flights are 2 hours long and cost considerably more than eastern seaboard flights of similar distance and time.
