Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

My understanding (from unofficial sources) is that there is a pool of priority phone numbers that airport staff give to passengers which rotates every few weeks.

I will attempt to publish the currently active number(s) in this post:

1300 304 318
1300 659 161
1300 025 396
1300 659 116

1300 024 715
1300 025 390
1300 659 115
1300 659 134
1300 659 502

6 hours self drive in light traffic (and LA never has light traffic), 10+ hours on the bus.

Even the flight time between the LAX and SFO is 90mins.

6-plus hours to drive LAX to SFO

Pewrhaps

Wow! I'll never be unkind to the traffic on the ED in Sydney on a friday afternoon and trying to catch a 6 pm flight.

Anyway, back on-topic. I haven't had any issues with the call centre when asking about seat choice and change of flights. Once having booked a flight and realised it was all wrong, asked the call centre to make substantial changes, which they did and without charge, even though the flights were "no-change". Then again I go through the Platinum line.

Some American Domestic Co-terminals:

Washington: WAS - BWI - DCA -IAD
Miami: FLL - MIA
San Francisco: SFO - SJC - OAK
Los Angeles: LAX - ONT - BUR - SNA
New York: NYC - EWR - JFK - LGA
Houston: HOU - IAH

SFO is just the secondary airport for Los Angeles in one of the outer suburbs. But I know we like to pretend they are different like Perth and Freo.

I won't argue the first sentence. But I will the second! Fremantle is definitely a different municipality to Perth, just that the border is blurred by the suburbs of each city.

You might as well include Coolgardie as a suburb of Perth! Definitely in the outer suburbs of Perth.

Anyone remember when Schiphol used to market itself as London's third airport? Would it count as one of London's co-terminals?
