Welcome risky,

Why don't you let us know a little about who you like to fly, thoughts on different airlines. the great DJ/QF debate Weigh in. Flaming is rare here! (And if it does happen. It is quickly dealt with!)

My Choice magazine arrived today and there was an article on Frequent Flyer schemes - and Australian Frequent Flyer featured prominently!

It seems to me that the quality of Qantas is gradually eroding so that it moves closer to the low-cost carriers like Jetstar. And unfortunately, that is nothing to be proud of: of 3 trips on Jetstar in the last 12 months (all to the Gold Coast), Jetstar didn't exactly do themselves any favours:

• Trip 1: (first ever on Jetstar) - they lost my bag
• Trip 2: two hour delay
• Trip 3: delay, delay, cancel (6hour delay and only because I booked over the phone with Virgin whilst standing in the queue)

At least Virgin did a bit better: they had my FF number and gave me food on the flight (not sure why; my colleague booked at the same time on the same fare and got nothing) - but still no FF points...at least my bag turned up!

So even though Qantas may not be what it was, at least it is consistent. Anyway, I don't really fly enough to be able to afford to spread my FF points around.

Hi Risky

Welcome to AFF

You post mentions you have had problems with J* yet it's QANTAS fault... How does that work? J* is an independent subsidiary of QANTAS and would have no bearing on you unfortunate situation of delays.
It's like buying a new Audi, having engine problems and blaming Volkswagen.

Welcome to AFF by the way.

Welcome to AFF risky.

I'd like to see that Choice article - I'm an online subscriber but it hasn't appeared there yet.

Where did he/she say that?

Welcome - I tend to agree with sticking with one carrier & their partners. It maximised my FF account.

FYI, the Choice article was also referred to in the online Sydney Morning Herald.
