  • Qantas Domestic Carry On: Baggage Allowance [Updated 2019]

    Nov 29, 2018, 07:58 AM

    The thing is, few people are likely to leave Qantas to fly with Virgin if Qantas do not enforce the rule whereas many people (like me) would choose Virgin over Qantas if Qantas do enforce the rule.

    In Europe (where there is more competition) airlines invest in bigger overhead storage to ease the pain rather than enforcing draconian rules to make passengers life a misery .

    Are cabin crew in Australia built differently to those in Europe (where weight limits for cabin baggage are much more generous) or is Australia a less competitive market for domestic air travel?

    Is there any way to ask Virgin Australia to influence acceptance of applications for this card? I've been rejected 3 times even though I have no obvious credit issues and I'm a Platinum Velocity FF. I even have a Coles card with Citi so they can see that I spend a reasonable amount and pay it off...

  • Fly Ahead: switching to an earlier Qantas, Virgin Australia flight

    Oct 24, 2018, 09:00 PM

    I am on a Getaway VA Fare from MEL-SYD this Friday on last flight of the evening. I am Platinum Velocity. Are they likely to allow me to fly ahead despite the fact I am in cheapest fare class?

  • Qantas Perth-Sydney flight swapped to a Boeing 737

    I was actually in Economy but the same applies. There are also fewer J seats so less chance of a Reward Upgrade (I didn't get a reward upgrade).

  • Qantas Perth-Sydney flight swapped to a Boeing 737

    I'm flying back to Sydney from London tomorrow via Perth. Before booking I checked that the Perth Sydney sector was on an A330. They've now switched it to a 737. This is really annoying. It is a very different product. Do Qantas recognise as an issue?

  • Fly Freedom and Get Gold

    Did anyone else get caught out with Virgin Accelerate "Fly Freedom and Get Gold" promo. They said flights had to be booked and flown by 28th Feb but they are now saying claims had to be made by then too. I realise that they said that only 500 Pilot Gold memberships were available but I think it i...
