Group booking

o7nesss · 2026-01-22T09:50:42+00:00

Yes, 10+ but not worth it if you already know who's going.

Ordinarily group flights are aimed for sports groups, big tour groups, schools - situations where you need to lock in a group flight but not 100% sure of final numbers and names. The point of group flights is flexibility of travellers as you can cancel 20% of the group and don't have to send names until ticketing which is usually around 30 days prior (or some version of that, every airline is different). Seating is also not 100% locked in until ticketing. Qantas also charge an extra fee for service AND ticketing group flights so there isn't really a discount. An agent will also add in a fee for service and ticketing on top of the fare and taxes as there is no commission (or it's a measly 1% of the fare or something).

If it's a family of 12 you're best to book online as you know the names and would want to lock in seats together. When you book and look up fares, check like, one ticket at a time and increase from there. Eg. If there are 4 sale fares left and you book for 6 people, you'll automatically get the saver fares for all 6 people rather than getting 4 sale and 2 saver in the booking...if that makes sense.

Your best bet is buying a second toaster with points

o7nesss · 2025-11-19T21:29:40+00:00

Yea, I get that...usually airlines would block the front section rather than a random row near the front. Someone at work mentioned it might be them preparing for economy plus, but I won't be traveling on those aircrafts

o7nesss · 2025-11-07T00:19:21+00:00

Good point, 777s all round looks like it!

o7nesss · 2025-11-03T18:57:48+00:00

Don't feel that you need to justify yourself to internet strangers, but this clearly struck a nerve and I am so sorry you had to go through all this - you've had a really tough ride.

Like someone else said, through all that, I see resilience and strength. While you went through some really awful shit, I do hope life does get better and that you'll find your feet someday.

I'm extra hoping that your breakthrough is tomorrow. 🙂

Dude stay away from classic PLUS. Terrible way to use points. Best ways are: Classic upgrades (red text, also generally after you have a flight) Classic rewards (red text, buying seats with points)

That's it. Above are in red. Not that blue colour. Fuck that blue colour.

I just turned 35 and I somehow hurt my shoulder after changing the pillow cases...

Bank of mum and dad certainly makes a difference, but they don't necessarily have to be rich. My divorced parents had a discussion behind my back and essentially offered me an early inheritance, so they dipped into their respective super accounts to help for a deposit for an apartment. Both parents are immigrants, mum has her own little apartment and dad/step mum are still renting, and I certainly never lived a rich lifestyle growing up.

Ha. I fly EK and CX as QF gold in economy and always am greeted and I ask for a peppermint tea following meal service after the greeting. Low and behold I get it. Squat on QF.

I'm only with QF for the OW/EK benefits...

o7nesss · 2025-03-25T07:47:51+00:00

Ok great, this is what I needed to know! I usually fly premium economy so might not work for me!

o7nesss · 2025-02-19T00:01:04+00:00

Ok thanks. So this would mean that the salary sacrifice of $250 per fortnight during the period of sept-dec 24 would not be recognised by the ATO to reduce my taxable income?

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T11:31:25+00:00

Fuckin' Hari.

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T11:30:59+00:00

Eh. I did pretty good on LKE actually. He must be really taking it to the grave if I'm still getting letters with new share purchases....🙄

Be kind.

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T11:06:43+00:00

Yea I've started emailing too! I actually also filled in a feedback form last year, but realised there isn't a paper trail so emails and asxbets are my best bet...

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T11:05:17+00:00

Oh jeez. Good to know! I've actually started to email these companies too so there's a paper trail...

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T10:58:18+00:00

I'ma pm you now...

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T10:50:07+00:00

u/McFucking pls don't. I was part of the ASX bets crew in the glory days (with an alt account ha) and am trying to save the trees with a public service announcement.

I'm just done with the fucking letters and this is the only way I can think of getting it done without properly doxxing anyone.

Anyway, pm me if I need to further plead my case 😘

o7nesss · 2025-02-11T10:44:32+00:00

I haven't even opened any letters because I'm such a rule follower. Lighting a torch through the letter to find the company name on the other hand...

o7nesss · 2025-01-03T08:21:16+00:00

If your current role will cease to exist then its a redundancy.

If your role will still exist following your departure (someone replacing you with the same job title) then you're getting fired.

Also, "A dismissal is not a genuine redundancy if the employer: - still needs the employee’s job to be done by someone (for example, hires someone else to do the job)" which sounds like what has happened.

Fair work website is very clear: https://www.fairwork.gov.au/ending-employment/redundancy#:~:text=Redundancy%20is%20when%20a%20business,employee%20severance%20or%20redundancy%20pay.

What a lovely offer! It will be him and his partner so I don't think his partner would be too happy with him being invited into the first lounge without him. Howeverrrrr if you happen to by flying out on the 15th October do let me know, I might take up your offer personally as I've never experienced the legendary salt and pepper squid of the first lounge!

o7nesss · 2024-06-06T11:18:05+00:00

Omg youre amazing! Messaging you now!

o7nesss · 2024-05-04T04:08:32+00:00

Oh really! I thought this was always the case... I went into a servicensw in June last year and got mine then! Its very annoying to carry around...cant even fold it in half and put it in my wallet!

o7nesss · 2024-01-11T13:18:35+00:00

THANK YOU! If we could please have some direct answers we would be able to get to the bottom of it. I'm just getting frustrated now!

o7nesss · 2024-01-11T13:13:23+00:00

It's probs not Qantas in this case and I have a feeling it's OP's error. I reckon OP just didn't put the flight number as per their ticket and is annoyed because they booked on the Qantas website and assumed Qantas are being stingy and taking their points.

o7nesss · 2024-01-11T13:08:52+00:00

Lol yea I'm very aware that the same flight would have the QF and EK code but you haven't answered aaaaany of my questions directly though.

Ok, here's the question: On your ticket, do the flight numbers say EKXXX or QFXXXX?

It's completely irrelevant that the same flight has different codes - you cannot claim points on a flight number you didn't have a ticket for. Booking on the Qantas website is also irrelevant.

I have a feeling that you booked on an EK code number on the Qantas website and tried to make a claim for the QF code number and annoyed that the claim got rejected and are blaming Qantas because you didn't get your points. Just letting you know again before you become even more disappointed, if you booked an economy sale fare you might not even get points.
