  • Air New Zealand mulls Elite Plus tier, lifetime status

    Nov 15, 2020, 10:57 AM

    I think the lifetime status is a good idea. And especially for Australian travellers who frequently fly to New Zealand. I believe it will increase 'pressure' (for better words) on Australian based flyers to remain loyal or switch loyalty to Air New Zealand. With the Qantas tie-up with Air New Zea...

  • What Qantas and Virgin can learn from Air Canada Aeroplan

    Aug 15, 2020, 06:56 PM

    I think the main point to remember is Qantas has been a successful carrier with a successful frequent flyer program with many years behind it and a take up of half Australia's population. Air Canada has not been successful and neither has its AeroPlan program. And the Velocity Program, I don...

  • Qantas Boeing 747: looking back on a half-century of flying

    Apr 29, 2020, 07:47 PM

    Qantas, what a beaut airline. And the Qantas 747, an aircraft so linked to the success of Qantas. I have been on many of them. I was so happy the first 747-400 went to HARS. And my partner and I have been to see it. Did the most comprehensive tour. Best $400 I spent. I so hope Qantas put on a fin...

  • End of the line for the Qantas Boeing 747?

    Mar 30, 2020, 01:34 PM

    And I will do my very best to be on that flight! I have been hoping for a farewell tour. I was on the Singapore Airlines B747 retirement flight SIN-HKG-SIN and it was one of the best moments of my life!

  • Qantas adds Airbus A321XLR to its fleet

    Jun 19, 2019, 01:27 PM

    As it has been widely rumoured previously, it’s also certain these new jets will join the Qantas fleet. I personally was hoping for the Boeing MAX, but this isn’t bad either.

    I had flights with Air New Zealand... no refunds at all.

  • Telstra text re: pay-as-you-go-rates dropped

    Jan 27, 2020, 06:23 PM

    I'm with markpk on this, I left Telstra years ago because they just cannot match Vodafone's pay $5.00 and use your plan overseas as you would in Australia. I remember calling Telstra actually to see if they would match it and they wouldn't. Telstra didn't deserve my business. I used to buy a SIM ...

  • Checking whether I'm going to receive Double Status Credits...

    How about calling the Qantas Frequent Flyer team? You'll get an answer for sure.

  • Impossible to contact Qantas

    Jul 26, 2019, 09:39 PM

    Only about two months ago I read articles that Qantas has not committed to extending the Hobart Call Centre beyond 2021 if I recall correctly. Very sad. I agree with many others, the SMS/chat is woeful. Dealing with someone at the Hobart call centre has always been a delight. While I love flying ...
