Hmmm. 1/1/1970 has quite a bit of relevance in parts of the IT world as a "default" (also known as Epoch) time. A little bit similar to your alarm clock or microwave flashing 00:00 or 12:00 when the power goes out and returns.

I suspect that in the Qantas back-end infrastructure, they had a machine which was quite broken, and they went in and fixed it, which solved your issue.

So all afternoon the QF website won't let me login to my FF account (I actually want to renew my QP membership). Just pops up with an error message every time I put in my details. Anyone else experiencing this?

I know the CC deadline is coming up, but surely this shouldn't be killing that aspect of the website? Or is it just me?

CC issue would not have traffic on qantas.com but rather the bank sites or their phone lines.

I am about to make a decision re: my AMEX points. Retain in AMEX or transfer to QFF. Eeny Meeny Miny Mo

Hello "Rewards Advantage" plat card. All for $250/yr. At least I can still transfer to QF after 31/3.

Hello AMEX Gold Maximiser card with no annual fee. I think I will keep this card.

Used to get 1.5 points per $ but with QF withdrawing it is now back to 1:1. Also no cap on points.

Qantas are now allowing you to book Premium Economy fares on the Qantas site from some cities that were previously not showing up on the site as Premium Economy "from" destinations.

Eg - BNE-HKG or BNE-LAX.

Previously you could only select "Economy" or "Business/First" ex Brisbane, whereas the same destination with a start of Sydney had "Economy", "Premium Economy" and "Business/First".

Of course all routes fly through Sydney/Melbourne, except for some Jetstar flights. The JQ ones push you to the Jetstar website to book.

Trying to book LHR - MEL in premium economy on qantas.co.uk for outbound in September, inbound in October, with either dates fixed, or flexible date option chosen. It always returns a message saying: "We could not find a fare for the requested itinerary. (# 66002)". If I change it to SYD, fares are returned... Any ideas why this would be happening?

For any date in the future, LHR to MEL is returning the same error when trying to book W. If I change it to SYD, only BA flights are offered. Something's up...

Interesting that the Qantas Booking Agent spits out a 66002 error. There is still plenty of W and T availability throughout SEP and into OCT. Maybe give QF a call and see what is going on.

Qantas agent wasn't able to tell me why it isn't working. Checked again just now, same error. And for SYD, still only showing the BA flights.

Expedia.co.uk is showing returns in PE for circa 1500 pounds over that sort of date. So I suggest it's just a Qantas IT problem and hopefully will be fixed in a day or so.
