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.

and then everyone wanted to be coolable(Kublai) Kahn.

I can't. Sorry.
I don't have an elephanting clue to what the answer may be.
This is just my new policy to indicate that I can understand the CCC OTD.
Impress some of the other participants.
Where in fact I am usually totally lost and clueless.
So I followed your lead just to impress.
Seriously I am impressed with everyone who participates, however, it often makes me feel stupid and inadequate. I am so impressed with the answers but hardly ever can work them out myself.
I do enjoy it though.
