Traveller letters
Great crew, but everything else about this business class fell short
“The beds were cramped, the meals were inedible and the airport lounge was like something from the 1950s.”
Qantas’ international meal service left me feeling cheesed off
“On a flight to Hong Kong, the lunch menu listed something I was later told had not been served in years.”
I tried to downgrade from Qantas premium to economy and was rebuffed
“The flight was fairly empty, so I tried to move to an empty row of four seats in economy but was stopped and told I couldn’t change classes.”
I lost 196,000 Virgin points because I didn’t receive ‘marketing’ emails
“Last week I logged on to my Velocity account and was surprised to see that my points balance was showing as zero.”
My travel card, unused for six years, suddenly had a $99 OnlyFans charge
“We should pay attention when reminder letters are sent by banks to check the balances on our cards.”
Qantas not giving you a refund? Do what I did
“I wasn’t allocated the extra legroom seats I paid for and a month later Qantas had still not refunded me the cost.”
We booked early and cheaply, then our motel did the unthinkable
Our motel doubled our room rate and asked us to pay an extra night only two months out from the Parkes Elvis Festival. Is this legal?
Even our flight’s captain got sick of waiting for luggage
“After hours of delay, the captain had to make the call to depart, indicating that one third of the flight’s bags had not been loaded.”
Backpackers, no one wants to see your bum at lunch
“This is for backpackers: please dress according to the local customs when visiting countries.”
Traveller Letters: We won’t be returning to this stopover destination
“Although the people are mostly friendly, and it’s an interesting country, this is one of the few places we wouldn’t revisit.”
