Ok, this afternoon I called the Qantas office in Singapore. The Bangkok office has got a hideous automated system in Thai, which even my mate in the internet cafe in Kanchanaburi couldn't figure out! The Singapore office has an Aussie helpdesk... sweet!
I've moved my flight from Bangkok, to accomodate the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix and give myself a week for beaching it up before I leave. Plus I've moved all my other flights back too, and added a month to my New Zealand visit (even though it takes me firmly into their winter! Learning to snowboard in New Zealand is quite appealing, lol!), I've added a week to my Fiji visit, so I can do something pretty cool (www.tribewanted.com which I'll be joining soon, watch this space!), and added a week to South Africa too. All this for absolutely no fee, not even an admin fee!! Awesome (as the Aussies would say).
