| Disgruntled
Qantas Flyers Kept Waiting |
If
you've been waiting an eternity for a refund
from Qantas, you're not alone. Many Qantas
customers have posted recently about their
frustration in waiting for a refund from the
airline.
It appears that waiting several months for a
refund from Qantas, even in cases where the
airline cancelled its own flight, is now
normal. But there are some ways to speed up
the lengthy process.

| Emirates
Cancels Most Trans-Tasman
Flights |
| Emirates'
trans-Tasman A380 flights
have been hugely popular
with travellers. Until
recently, Emirates offered
four daily A380 flights
across the Tasman to New
Zealand. But soon, this will
be decreased to just one
daily flight between Sydney
and Christchurch. Emirates
withdrew from the
Sydney-Auckland route in
July this year. To cover
Emirates' absence, Qantas
upgraded two daily
Sydney-Auckland flights more...

| Qantas
Cash as an Everyday Card? |
| If
you have a Qantas Frequent
Flyer card, chances are that
you also have a Qantas Cash
card. This is the debit card
on the back of your frequent
flyer membership card. The
airline advertises Qantas
Cash as a "travel money"

option as an everyday
banking card to use at home?

Exclusive
Online Event:
Best International Frequent Flyer Programs |
Most
of us are members of the local Qantas and
Virgin Velocity Frequent Flyer programs. But
it's worth taking notice of ten overseas
programs that offer significantly better
"bang" for your frequent flyer "buck"!
By joining these programs, you could be
travelling further, more often and in
greater comfort - while spending less! For
example, did you know that there's a
Oneworld airline offering round-the-world
awards in Business class for 90,000 points
less than Qantas? What's more, you may be
surprised how easy it is to accumulate
points with international frequent flyer
programs from within Australia.
Frequent Flyer Solutions will explain how
you can take advantage of the enormous
opportunities offered by international
frequent flyer programs in its upcoming
webinar, "Best International Frequent Flyer
Programs". This online event will take place
at 8pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 24
October 2017.

First Class: Service Starts

recently lucky enough to
experience Lufthansa's First
class service on a flight

The in-flight service was
exceptional, but the First
class experience began long
before Princess
