Yuck.
A few days ago, I booked a trip from Sweden to India. To my surprise, the ticket read that I were to fly there with Qatar Airlines and back with Qantas. Turned out that they had made an error when they entered the flight numbers in their system. Only one letter differs between Qatar and Qantas, and some disxelic dyslixac dyslecax SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T SPELL - had simply entered it wrong...
It WAS Qatar both ways - to my great joy now that I see your post here...

Yes the "n". And the "s". And possible the "r", depending on how you want to count.

Their flight numbers (which were mentioned earlier in the sentence - or perhaps in the sentence before that) - You really need to do something about your short term memory, Richard... 
Qatar had QA213 (or something like that), and Qantas QT213

If that 'SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T SPELL' was a travel agent, shows the poor knowledge of geography of that person; surely Qantas doesn't have a flight between India and Sweden. Or does it, via Sydney?
Thinking beyond, does it call for more 'software intervention', I mean, increasing the levels of intelligence of the ticketing software?

Of course not... It was an error.

I think it might be ok, but if you enter something that is wrong in one context and correct in another (as in the wrong flight number, but one that does exist), apparently it can't tell the difference.
I could (because I'm human and also because I myself work in the airline industry)
It's sort of like the old poem:
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It's rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
It's letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Yep, appalling.
"This stricter implementation of the attire guideline comes as a response to passengers complaining of people in board shorts and flip-flops occupying the lounges.". Can't have the lower orders sitting around in our Lounge half-shod and otherwise improperly dressed y'know. Really, I'd have thought Australians would have more sense, I could expect it here in the UK, but I'm surprised at an Australian airline doing this.
The article itself seems to be more about fat-shaming, the I can't see anything wrong with the first picture, he could well have been stuck there for hours and just made himself as comfortable as possible. The main crime in the second picture seems to be wearing shorts that are several sizes too small.

Oh yeah? Exactly WHEN does your climate allow people to wear shorts and flip-flops? You must have something like 15 minutes of summer per year...
- "WHOOSH"
- "What was that mate?"
- "That was summer - we missed it again!"
- "Don't worry, it will be back next year"
BTW: Look who's talking, we don't have much more summer i Sweden for that matter...

I'd have thought, being a Swede you'd be man enough to wear casual summer-wear all year round, as we do in Newcastle[^].

I think only the first is the Qantas club. Qantas does huge business from fifo (fly in fly out) workers and most get club membership as part of their deal. Incidentally until quite recently Qantas could not carry passengers within Australia. Often the clubs are absolutely full of transiting fifos and I think this is what this is all about.
