• Just for a Laugh: Qantas

    May 30, 2021, 12:37 PM

    Your NZ to Melbourne flight would have been cancelled due to the latest Victorian lockdown. I suspect the system automatically generated an alternative route and booked you in. But obviously Mr IT made an error and booked you onto a wrong flight. I think you should just call Qantas and ask them t...

    Originally Posted by Martynriddle Is there an up-to-date list of hotels in the Sydney CBD area that are being used as quarantine locations for returning OS travellers?

  • @Saulfong3, I'm not sure 'hasn't got a lot going for it' is the best way to describe Darwin. Having been there myself a couple of years ago, I understand the place isn't everyone's cup of tea, but some people actually love the..'subdued' vibe there and also use it as a base to explore our beautif...

  • Have always wanted to visit Taiwan and can't be a better time to go now than ever. It'd be great if Qantas can run some seasonal flights there, though I doubt it would happen due to the sensitive political nature between China and Taiwan, assuming Qantas wouldn't want to upset the bigger market.....

  • I live in regional Victoria. Whilst we don't have the same restrictions as Metro Melbourne & Mitchell, the effects filter through the whole state and I understand and share your frustration of lockdown 2.0 and not knowing where/what the future holds. I think one main difference this time is ...

  • What will Virgin look like now?

    Apr 20, 2020, 06:30 PM

    However they will look like, I hope Virgin will survive this because we need two airlines in this country to balance the market.

  • Every airline in the world is facing the same hardship at the moment (perhaps except Qatar by the look of things at the moment). I think it will also depend on how much the government will support them down the track. I'm sure many countries will throw huge loads of money to save their national ...

  • I know they announced cancelling all international flights till at least end of May, but my bookings are still showing the flights. I wonder if Qantas is deliberately delaying the process in the hope that many people will convert flights to vouchers by the March 31 deadine so they don't have to d...

  • I have a Qantas return Melbourne-Shanghai flight booked for May departure and June return. If I cancel now, I'll get the credit voucher which may have some restrictions (e.g. fare class, etc) when I rebook. But because Qantas is cancelling most of their international flights, some of my flights a...

  • To travel or not to travel?

    Mar 18, 2020, 10:33 PM

    Agree with Sibelius. I'm in similar situation with flights booked in late May and June to North America. Better to wait to late April/May and see what the situation is. If the travel ban and restrictions are still in place, then airlines and hotels will most likely extend their fee waiver/refund/...

  • What are loads like

    Mar 16, 2020, 02:59 PM

    I did Melbourne~Adelaide with Qantas last Wed and Sun and both flights were 90% full.

  • This is on the Qantas website today: Customers with existing bookings on any domestic or international flight until 31 May 2020, who no longer wish to travel, can cancel their flight and retain the value of the booking travel credit. This offer is available until 31 March 2020.Vouchers can be use...

  • Great words markpk! It's been a big year for the team especially with the launch of the new branding Et. A big thank you to the whole team and looking forward to more fun, exclusive and exciting news in the next decade! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  • QFF Status Credit on CX flight

    Oct 22, 2019, 12:19 AM

    Thanks for the reinforcement guys. I went with CX instead of AA. I've flown CX many times therefore at least I know what I'll be getting.

  • QFF Status Credit on CX flight

    Oct 21, 2019, 01:09 PM

    I should know this but just wanted to double check. I'm looking at booking a CX flight from LAX to HKG but operated by AA, i.e. CX flight number but AA metal. I assume I would get status credits to my QF account and according to the online calculator it would be 160. But for some reason the calcu...
