Qantas puts one sale thousands of seats to book with points

Feb 24, 2023, 11:26 AM

Big fail by Qantas on this. It's 11:26am on Friday and I've tried searching over and over again and all I've managed to bring up is a '500 - that's an error at our end'. It's a pretty sad state of affairs that in 2023 they haven't sorted out their IT.
Hilton Honors to offer Diamond Status Extension for 2023

Oct 27, 2022, 11:13 PM

Hilton are to be commended for the way they treat their loyalty members. I will not easily forget the way Hilton got on the front foot and refunded who couldn't travel due to COVID disruptions and then extended status well in advance in both 2020 and 2021. In return, I have already stayed 61 nigh...
Qantas Frequent Flyers to get free Accor ALL Gold, Platinum status

Aug 10, 2022, 12:06 PM

Don't forget that Accor refused to extend the points expiry of Classic and Silver ALL members, even though it was near impossible for many of these members (especially the ones in lockdown hit cities) to travel. Granted, most Classic and Silver members wouldn't have had many points, but it still ...
Qantas Frequent Flyers to get free Accor ALL Gold, Platinum status

Jul 31, 2022, 12:57 PM

Here is a novel idea... instead of trying to recruit more members, why doesn't Accor do more to look after their existing members? I was a long time Accor Platinum member who prior to the pandemic was so feed up with the poor loyalty experience that I vowed to stop using the program (thus I have ...
Emirates First guests can now check-in from their homes

Jun 19, 2022, 09:58 AM

This seems a bit pointless and my feeling is this is over-complicating a process that should in most cases be very quick and straightforward. I've used Qantas' first class check-in at Melb and Sydney airports numerous times and I don't remember the process taking more than 5 minutes. I wouldn't b...

Qantas Green Tier reward

May 18, 2023, 11:02 AM

Hi brains trust. I have a question re Qantas green tier. I achieved green tier when Qantas first rolled this out and was able to select a reward. I've since re-achieved green tier in my new membership year but haven't been able to select a reward. It says in the conditions that members will be ab...
Jetstar moving terminals in Singapore

Dec 26, 2022, 05:45 PM

I'm not sure if this was widely publicised and I just missed this, but I just noticed that Jetstar is moving from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 at Changi airport effective March 2023. This seems like an unfortunate move if you are connecting to or from a Qantas service between Australia and then have ...
Qantas Double Charging Again

Sep 27, 2022, 02:01 AM

Imagine if you walked into Qantas' office in Mascot and took a $4000 piece of artwork off the wall, walked out the building with it, and if anyone asked what you are doing you say 'don't worry, I'll return it in 7 days.' You'd probably be arrested, possibly even jailed.But Qantas does the same th...
QF Platinum & ALL Status Match

Aug 31, 2022, 12:16 PM

I helped a relative (Gold with Qantas, Classic with Accor) put through a request and it triggered today (31 Aug) and the Gold membership is valid until 31 Dec 2023.Interestingly, I am already Gold with Accor and Platinum with Qantas. I won't retain Gold with Accor this year so I registered for th...
Why is Masking wearing still in place on planes

Aug 24, 2022, 02:20 PM

Mask wearing is still in place on planes because we are in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100 years. In Australia thousands of people are still catching the virus and hundred of people are dying each week. The disruptions to education, health services, the supply chain, and the general work...
