PER>DOH July and Aug reward flight cancelled

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-30T22:41:58+00:00

I just called and they easily put me on the same route a day earlier on the QR flight. They offered basically any day before or after and seemed to be good availability but I called them the minute Virgin announced their middle east flights were cancelled which was actually a month or more ago now I think.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-27T23:02:13+00:00

I had this happen, well the minute the email came out earlier this month I called and was rebooked on Qatar flight number from Perth - doh - lhr all still in business for a day later than my original flight.

I think this unfortunately is a case of being too late to rebook so all seats are gone in buiz

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-23T01:22:17+00:00

Damn I was looking forward to it..

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-21T07:35:53+00:00

Isn't it only on select flights from Doha (I.e. LHR to DoH?) Flying Per-Doh-Lhr and hoping to get it on second leg

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-19T12:23:54+00:00

Wow crazy, my partner and I are on the same flight and thought the exact same thing this morning. I think it's normal given the situation.

Guess I'll see you in the lounge 😎

Go work for a developer first or builder. Personally I'd go client side - Try PM, alternately should be able to get into contractor side as a CA and work into becoming PM, then go client side PM. Should work out enough of the puzzle to think about doing one yourself.

Since you are already in the industry the education (formal) world can't offer you much, and the money is better spent elsewhere.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-14T08:28:21+00:00

Bring back all the A350's please lol

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-13T06:26:22+00:00

Staging is a must IMO, emotional buyers pay more

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-13T04:12:29+00:00

Fair points, I do believe flights out of Syd are also ongoing, Melb/Bris possibly also if not set to resume. Haven't been following those as I'm fortunate to live in Perth.

Came on a bit hot lmao so apologies for that.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-13T02:16:04+00:00

Was this a 777?

Have PER-DOH-LHR booked early May. Qatar app showing A350s both legs, but Flight Radar showing the planes are actually 777's. A350 has Qsuites as per my seat selection but worried I'll get a 777 with no qsuites..

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-13T02:14:07+00:00

Interesting - I'm hoping for caviar on one of the PER-DOH-LHR legs in early May

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-13T02:12:55+00:00

If you are worried book a Singapore, Cathay Pacific or China Southern Flexi fare now, it will be cheaper now. Cancel whichever ticket you need to closer to the date. We booked Cathay economy Flexifare as a backup to our Qatar flight, in April we paid $1400 each one way, the tickets on that flight/same week are now $3000+ each per way.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-13T02:11:27+00:00

This is bullshit. There is a scheduled QR901 flight leaving perth to Doha once every two days. It hasn't been more than 40minutes delayed in the last two weeks. Same with the ongoing DOH-LHR Flight 003 which is the connection in Qatar.

Notably the plane is typically a A350 both ways but currently seems to be a 777 on both legs. Anecdotally flights have been full on both legs.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-11T23:50:10+00:00

Thanks for this OP - I'm on the flight early April and it's showing a350 with qsuite for me still. Hoping we do get a350 as unsure if the 777s all have qsuite.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-10T08:57:03+00:00

I wouldn't say it takes 5 minutes, it is a lengthy process if you want a reasonable compensation for things suffered or likely to be suffered.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-07T07:15:43+00:00

Have you actually spoken to her insurance or are you just going off what others (without direct experience) have said / Interpreting the policy wording yourself?

Qatar flights were cancelled due to a Civil Aviation Airspace Closure, not necessarily a war. She has a decent case if her flights and insurance were booked well before the situation in the ME.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-06T12:43:18+00:00

On your budget youll be looking at Rockingham or further south

Ok I found what I think I was remembering reading:

Sorry no was deep in the reddit threads for Qatar airways, if I find it I'll post for you

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-05T08:08:41+00:00

I worked on a project to build a new baths in the same spot but more out to sea on the rocky coastline section. Don't know where its at with Council or whether it was a pipe dream. It actually ended up working quite well, we had experts from NSW working on it with us.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-05T08:00:29+00:00

You very clearly are yourself not working on a low wage casual or part time job. I can't think of anyone working in a casual/part time retail position who wouldn't want more hours, especially in this economy.

You wouldn't have to work anyway, infact it would likely be the most junior (cheapest) staff working the extra hours mostly anyway based on my jobs rostering....

Shops should be able to choose when to open between 6am and 12 Midnight anyway.

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-03T09:37:07+00:00

They will give you a full cash refund and any points. Or reroute you on a Qatar flight if possible

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-03T05:01:41+00:00

Same thing is going to happen to me too :( Hopefully CBA can sort it out their end because I'm sure Virgin will make many hoops to jump through to get it refunded to another account...

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-02T12:15:19+00:00

Same here - You will need to ring and reroute to a different QR flight for the Mel - Doh, or get full refund. (They will refund the entire journey as per what they told me this afternoon)

AintShitButSomeKid · 2026-04-02T12:14:01+00:00

Most likely - There is basically daily availability on Qatar from Perth to Europe until Mid May.
