So I had a Gold Coast holiday booked, but there's a couple of Corona Virus cases up there (australia is nothing like the hot mess the USA is in). My wife is a nurse and won't go. So I got vouchers from the airline.
This morning I get an email that I have to rebook a flight. Seems they only refunded one and I have NO vouchers. They are useless
I also have $600 in vouchers for Gold Coast theme parks. I actually HATE the Gold Coast

Having an airline is a sideline. Their primary business is transporting livestock, primarily in cattle cars.

And this is why I don't fly anymore.

My kids were supposed to come up from Sydney to Cairns for Christmas with Jetstar, they paid the extra to cover COVid19 problems. Naturally that all got cancelled, when they tried to change the flights - additional $600 but they were given a complete refund. Rebooked for Easter and we all have our fingers crossed.

It's all been a bit sh*t. I was in QLD when it started, I did quarantine three times so far, once in a hotel.
I didn't pay any extra so I got vouchers. I pay extra on all my Melbourne business trips as I can claim them, and then I can be more flexible.

It's not a CG post if it doesn't have problems with airlines  .

Mostly Telstra, I thought....
I'm also at war with Paypal, if that helps....

I was remembering your neverending love affair with Qantas.

And I miss being a gold frequent flyer and flying QANTAS now. They barely run any flights and they cost too much.
On the other hand, I have 750k FF points and the cost of a first class flight has doubled to 1.5 million.....

I had problems with my bookings last year too. Lufthansa offered us the vouchers, but I didn't accept them and ask for the refund. They needed almost 5 months to comply, but we got the full price back.

My biggest drama was when United stranded my wife and I in San Fran and it took 5 months for the travel insurance to pay for the flight I had to buy as a result.
I also got to Hamburg station and found that the ticket I had was a voucher to generate a ticket, the ticket machine was down, and I needed to pay $640 for new tickets. I spent months chasing a refund on that one, too

I spoke with them 3 times at the beginning, then just wait. They already told me it would need time and I had to be patient. Covid borders closing, thousands of retours and cancellations. So I waited.... and I got my money when I was starting to think on calling again to check.

There may be a great wall of objections to that claim. Once, I saw a movie on this subject, produced on mongoloid, by a learning disabled member of his hoard.

I wonder if anyone has found any of ol' Genghis' water storage vessels. They'd probably be really valuable Kahnteens.
