The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

So ... its telling you you have a big head?

...or else he plays soccer and headed the ball a looooong way over the goal...

The worst mistake at work I've made wrecked an Aix server completely. A tiny little closing ' at the end of a parameter for the file erase command. It traversed throughout the system. I proofread the shell script three or four times over and still missed the error. A workplace experience kid level of a rookie mistake.

Perhaps I would have great credentials to join QF IT.

Go to the front of the Queue !!!

Guess I'll be waiting a little while longer before the Platinum kicks in lol.

I'm discovering that you need at least three different browsers to use the QF website half properly - if Chrome throws up errors then try Edge, still no joy then maybe Firefox will get you to the page you are trying to get to. Pretty hopeless but meh... its Qantas.

Went onto the CX website a few nights ago.
I was impressed. It was almost like they hired developers who know what they're doing.

The CX website and app are quite fresh and work well in my opinion.
Hilariously, this most recent CX booking had a QF flight attached and I think it caused the CX app to freak (both iOS and Android), thankfully their mobile website worked fine.

Does anyone have battles with the QBR website? It never works on Safari, and often needs to be restarted on Chromium browsers, even with cookie refresh, etc.

I used Firefox and find the QBR website very temperamental as best.

Yep. It never opens properly for me clicking through from my QFF account. I just see see some summary thing but can’t do anything. I force it to logout and then open the login page to force a fresh login and then it’s fine.

I must book mark that QBR login page and use it directly…

QF (or perhaps QR?) appear to have dropped visibility of QR bookings in the QF app.

You couldn’t do anything with those bookings via the QF app, but always reassuring to see they’re correctly linked to your QFF account and not some random VFF account (which apparently, there’s a bit of scam in play for those not paying attention).

I'm glad I wasn't the only one having trouble.

And it seems that today's the day QF deems me worthy of Platinum, yay.

The work experience kids are at it again. This time for our benefit, though.



But I've taken only two QF flights.

The third one was QF codeshare on AY metal and seems to have been included. Suits me but given that the tally used to be right on earlier years, someone's flicked a switch into a different position somewhere.

If it had a QF code then it counts as an “Eligible sector”.

That has escaped me. I thought it would require QF / JQ metal (including wet leases, Alliance, etc).

In practice, the current criteria means you could wander around collecting eligible flights without setting your foot on a QF Group aircraft? Rather generous of them.

Yes, especially say EK to Europe or AA and LA to the Americas. A J return with 4 sectors could net SG.

But booking say an QF codeshare on AY, your more likely to be on QF metal to/from Asia.

Except for the fact that one can't usually purchase a QF codeshare without a ticket that touches Oz. Sure, you could get 4 QF ~ doing say EK flights to Europe as codeshares, but one can't just book say LHR-DXB as QF codeshares standalone.

But anyway this one time, NOT an IT issue feature

There are a couple of anomalies(?) or opportunities out there.

I’ve personally booked NAN-LAX (return) on QF codes. When nested with SYD-NAN (return) it made for a relatively cheap transpac J fare and obviously better SC/points earn, lounge arrangements than FJ codes.

Probably better SC earn than what you would get on QF in J from SYD-LAX direct too!
