QANTAS Online Shopping - System broken down completely?
Apr 05, 2024, 05:19 PMIt seems I've always had rotten luck getting FF points from QANTAS online shopping transactions credited, even though I do ensure my browser/cookies/extensions are properly configured and updated. But lately, it's gotten much worse. Now, fully 50% of my points-eligible transactions are not even s...

Qantas Delays
Mar 29, 2024, 12:31 PMOriginally Posted by Phil Young Originally Posted by Joe I've never understood why Emirates and Qatar A380's operate like clockwork nearly every day out of Sydney, yet Qantas A380's nearly always seem to go tech or are delayed. But then just yesterday I watched QF1 pushback early. Consider yourse...

Would you fly on a Comac C919?
Jan 25, 2024, 04:06 PMOriginally Posted by vhojm Originally Posted by FFScientist Nope, refuse to fly on a 737MAX also. By this nonsense logic you should have refused to fly on 747s because of all the accidents they had, you shouldn't fly on 737-800s either or A320s because of how many incidents they have had. You pr...

737 max in the News again…. in many broadsheets around the world
Dec 29, 2023, 07:00 PMIt's confusing how you say you don't want to "start a inter line war between sycophants...." by "post(ing) it on that particular airline thread."

Tired of QFF
Nov 14, 2023, 05:32 PM@Away01I've been a regular QF flyer starting in 1980 as a mere child.

Now as an adult, in a 'bad year' I would do 'only' around 12 flights. In an 'average...
