I hate it when I’m offered a service that I then can’t use.  Hate it.  Qantas offers you the chance to check in online when you’re flying with them.  This imposes a cost on me, but that’s cool.  I’m up at stupid o’clock to do the seat booking because it’s worth it to me to get a good seat. And, I can’t use it.  I’m guessing it’s because my domestic flight connects to an international one.  I don’t care, of course.  I want to deal with this.  Very annoying, and doesn’t promote good customer relations, especially during the week when their planes seem to be either falling apart or blowing up.  I am very annoyed.
