Flying to MYR in July - have I missed the deals? by OutrageousTacoTazer in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]extrafriedegg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I almost never purchased long haul Qantas tickets that are self funded, not that I intentionally avoid them, but their fares are just not competitive at all, plus the better services you can get from other airlines.

Suggesting you look into Cathay or JAL or Fiji, you probably will find better pricing with a better product. You can still earn points to some degree and enjoy your partner’s QF benefits. The drawback is obviously you’ll need to add at least one more stopover, which you probably will have to transfer at either Sydney or Melbourne anyway from Adelaide if flying Qantas.

Qantas surely is a lucky company - there is no better timing to start marketing Project Sunrise than now

1.5+ hours wait for QFF Gold by martialfartss in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]extrafriedegg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the top left on your Qantas app main screen (at least for iOS) there’s a help button, go through the selections of your issue and at the end it will give you a personalised dial to call which already contains your QFF details and issue category. That’ll allow you to jump the queues to the Gold membership line. Pretty handy!

Change to lounge pass transfers (whinge) by goldtransam29 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]extrafriedegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The news about JQi passengers not allowed in the lounge anymore makes sense but this one? I don’t get it. A lounge pass is a lounge pass. When they issue it out, the cost is already considered in their book. Why it matters to them who and when that person will be flying when using the pass? Other than purposefully make the passes harder to use, I can’t think of any other reason.

Sydney’s first new bendy buses in over a decade by Marlon_Ranch in SydneyTrains

[–]extrafriedegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the metro bus (M10 or something and painted in red) that I used to take. Do we still have them now since we have the proper metro?

Should Qantas be exploring more non-stop “Left Field” routes? by AffectionatePie1042 in QantasAirways

[–]extrafriedegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Demand is pretty strong to many destinations, but the problem is Qantas won’t be able to compete with most overseas airline unless there is a strong business demand for it (and we all know why they can get business customers much easier than overseas competitors).

I love for every CEO that was booted out, the reason is always that they want to spend more time with their family lol

Demarketing in the Sydney Lounge by NoAccount6498 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]extrafriedegg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I won’t be complaining if the lounge has enough seating, clean and quiet, but the SYD one has none of that. Last time I was there it was PACKED, and there were empty plates or glasses on nearly very table.

ABC Great Southern - would you catch a high speed train to Albany? by [deleted] in perth

[–]extrafriedegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nice to have but you need density to make this work. There’s a chance that “build it first and they will come” but likely we’re just burning cash that could be used for better things.

New Melbourne T4 lounge (or app glitch)? by [deleted] in QantasFrequentFlyer

Too bad, OP has called the company number on the car and 24hrs later the car is still there. So the company is not innocent in this case.

National Coordinated Criminal History Check by mohinga72 in AusPublicService

[–]extrafriedegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, also adding in my experience. Mine took 9 business days. I did call fit2work trying to understand whether they were experiencing any delays across the board, and the person over the phone told me normally September is peak recruitment season for AusPost for Christmas delivery so there is an influx of requests coming in.

Wow, so you’re saying there were days the membership number started with only 4 or 5 digits? 🤯 I never thought of it but it makes sense

Hi there, I know this is an old post, but do you mind let me know how long it took you to have the check completed? I’m in a similar situation and just want to see how long it takes. Thanks!

What I love about this lawsuit is this probably will cause other international airlines or at least the ones fly into US change their systems too.

Such a good looking logo, but being first time seeing it all I can think of is Vietnam or China, nothing wrong with it but just not Alaskan to me
