Of course, the only thing is when they start to fade (depending on what they print them on....)Like me. Not so much collected as retained in case of need to follow up claiming points etc. But I do value my old Ansett BPs.
A physical international BP once helped me get a government grant when it proved I took a flight I claimed
Take photocopies of them on the home or "office" printer once you have take the flight.
A perfect example of non-existent QF service (??) that starts to make OneStar look good. Go VA !!
not sure what aspect of the booking procedure you're querying?
There are check-in counters still at all major airports but there is always someone to check either a) you are eligible due to status etc. or b) there is a genuine need to see a check-in staff (e.g. oversized bags) before they let you through.
In fairness, is it reasonable to expect as much service from Qantas at an outstation airport like Sydney? Perhaps if it was one of their major hubs like LAX that would be on thing!
This has not been my experience at all. I flew QF last month from NTL to HVB and they dealt with the whole checking a bag bit and providing me with a cardstock boarding pass. Looking further back to the last time I flew QF ex-SYD (have mainly been flying QF's luxury brand JétStar over the past couple of months), to LDH they provided a paper boarding pass and dealt with my checked bag.
I doubt the boarding pass was made out of cardboard, that would make one heck of a thick boarding pass, certainly not something that would fit in your pocket. I think they use cardstock for boarding passes issued at the desk and newsprint for the cough that comes out of the kiosk.
Heh, are they better than QF main line now?
Of course, rhey don't have the kiosks at NTL.
Aside from the lack of Dom Perignon stocked at the QF Business Class Lounge at LDH, I had no complaints!
I meant, to walk up to a J front desk to check in.
