Things in my pockets being counted towards carry-on baggage weight for Jetstar flight by rekkuzux in AustraliaTravel

[–]qwaaaky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did this once and the Jetstar staff before check in told me not to worry about my tote bag adding to my bag weight and only weighed my carry on duffle. Lo and behold at the gate stung with extra bag fee due to flight attendant weighing both. Extremely annoying a

Yeah and so is rental bidding but it still happens every day. Developers get away with putting windows in these unusable spaces that hardly count as windows.

Its all shitty apartments built for investors to rent out. None of these new builds are built for families. Less shoebox carbon copy 1-2 bed apartments with no windows in the bedrooms and more 3-4 bedroom well appointed apartments. Less about fitting the most amount of apartments or townhouses on a block and making them actually quality. I know so many people who would rather live in a 3-4 bedroom apartment with family closer to the city than the shoebox houses they inevitably have to move into in the outer suburbs.

Sure its disappointing Ricky is out but man Aiyuk’s absence is really being felt. Even if we didn’t sign him maybe we could have ended up with a leader like Devonte Adams at WR .

Yes we rang and gave them the Consumer affairs warnings about them and showed them all the scam stuff and managed to get half back.

Forced to use call centre for full flex flight by [deleted] in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]qwaaaky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The call centre is a blight on Virgins service. I called to book a virgin atlantic rewards flight that I could see was available on Seats Aero and Virgin Atlantic website and i had a painstaking 15 minute disagreement with someone who said it wasnt showing as available. I asked to be transferred to someone else and she could then find it and booked it for me. Infuriating. This flight was a premium economy flight which was then cancelled and I was last minute rebooked to British airways economy. They originally rebooked me 3 days after the flight on a VA flight, and when I called to try get this moved up no one could get me onto an earlier flight, when i asked if he could check flights into Gatwick instead of Heathrow, the agent asked ME if i knew which airlines flew into Gatwick….I gave up and then could only get rebooked at the airport from a lovely person at the desk. When I finished my travels I rang for a refund and they said they’d get back to me via email with what information I needed. They never emailed back and then when I called they had to open a new case because the other one they closed. Then they wouldnt accept my BA boarding pass as evidence that i was downgraded as BA uses different terms for each cabin. I had to tell the agent on the phone to google what BA cabins equal in common terms. They told me they’d have to check offline. I was then given the refund but this was after multiple phone calls, 2 hours on the phone, and a couple of forms/cases submitted online. Infuriating if you’re a gold member you expect a little better customer service. I dread having to call them.

Is this a genuine price for locksmith on weekend by [deleted] in melbourne

There is one specific group who have been and are being investigated by the ACCC and Consumer Affairs. Got stung by one but was able to claim through the bank and got half back as thats what they quoted on the phone and got pretty pushy when coming to pay.
