Appreciate first world problem. Was offered a rewards upgrade from P/Economy to B/Class for QF64 from JNB to SYD, for 34,300 points. I took it and for this I received:

§ QF64 crew an hour late to the plane, hence missed connects in SYD.

§ Chair that would not recline.

§ Warm champagne pre-departure.

§ No pre-dinner drinks service.

§ Only one type of red wine.

§ Limited breakfast due to planes chiller breaking down just after take-off.

§ Flight from SYD to BNE, crew 40 minutes late arriving at plane.

Should I accept 10,000 points compensation, all they will offer, having questioned why so little (In my option)?

FYI - My seat back entertainment system was u/s in economy PER-BNE in August and the CSM organised for 3,000 points to be provided as compensation.

10,00 FFP for a u/s seat long haul feels a bit light. The other issues you've described like crew being late etc - that's travel... shit happens

Sad isn't it, how much brand destruction AJ has presided over.

It's Qantas after all. What did you expect? Probably better to take the points quickly before they drop a zero or two from them.

Demand 17,150 points (which is half the points you paid) and explain to them its because you feel you received "half the service".


if they don't offer then threaten (well don't just threaten - lodge a case with ACCC) and let the customer rep note that on your complaint that you have a ACCC case number
