    789/388 Broken Business Suites Rife - PAX Involuntary moved

    Out of curiosity, given that the J seats are apparently the same on the A330's as on the 789's, has anyone noticed any similar occurrences on the A330's? I myself have not noticed any signs of such a thing over the last 12 months.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Checking in just now at MEL QF domestic/international connections, immediately ahead of me in the line was AFL boss Gillon McLaughlin...I didn't think he would have to stoop to using public checkins! Also I noticed he used the plebs security line instead of the priority one.

    How much Does it Cost to Earn P1?

    Well, I will end this membership year with about 2200 SC's, which has cost me about $25K (all international J with some domestic connections). So extrapolating from that, P1 would have cost me about $40K. No doubt of course it can be done for much less.

    Seating Configurations of the Past

    For quite a while in the late 90's, when PR was in financial strife and had suspended Aus-PH operations, there was a daily 747SP service QF19/20 SYD-MNL (IIRC in lieu of the 5/week 763 service). I recall doing this several times. Also, there was the now almost forgotten Australia Asia Airlines -...

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    My memory is pretty good, and I honestly cannot remember the last time I got a hot towel in QF international J! (Apart from 2020-21, I have used QFi J at least 6 times a year for a LONG time).

    Couple loses at VCAT over Lifetime QF Club card allegedly issued in error

    80000 would be a large slice of the total QC membership: if this was indeed the case, surely it would have come to light long ago.

    Recent Experiences with QF’s new terminal transfer at SYD

    That is consistent with my experiences: from around 0600 to 0900 they run as much as needed to clear the backlogs, but then revert to twice an hour (15 mins before/after the hour. I have vague recollections that in pre-Covid times it used to run more than 2/hour during the day: does anyone else...

    SQ's ops at MEL need a serious overhaul!

    Dear me, looks like I will be delaying my return to SQ for a while longer: things like this, coupled with insane fares, do not attract me at all! I can only comment that checking in at MEL last week for a QF Dom->Int trip, everyone was getting checked in by a human agent. Happily, it appears...

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    Slightly odd experience boarding QF19 On Tuesday 6/12: PB itself worked fine, there was a separate well marked line for PB which was policed and got to board first. However, while we were waiting to board, a guy came down the priority line asking to see passports, and when the name matched with...

    Sorry, unless they have moved in the last few weeks, they are to the RIGHT of the security area. Have been for a long time.

    Cathay Manila Lounge

    As of a few weeks ago it was still very much closed, no sign of life at all. Options for QF Plat are nil (unless you have Priority Pass or Diners in which case you could access the Marhaba lounge).
