Just to be clear, I wasn't saying this excused or justified the unsatisfactnory level of service ... only thatb it might explain it.

We had a similar experience last year flying on an A330, SYD or MEL (I don't recall which) to Cairns. A toasted cheese and ham sandwich for lunch (yes, a bare sandwish, no frills). A chocolate (a single chocolate, not even a chocolate bar) for dessert, washed down with about a third of a glass...

I gifted my partner platinum earlier this year and it shows up on his Velocity profile that he needs "only" 800 SCs (rather than 1,000) to retain it, so presumably your partner will need only 400 to retain gold. In my case, I did phone the gift centre to set it up. This was very simple and took...

Yes, definitely an improvement,

We're Qantas WP frequent flyers looking at booking with Air NZ a return trip to Queenstown. We know that Air NZ now does some direct flghts in and out of HBA but these don't work for us as they go in and out via AKL with in one case a 13 hour layover. There is a perfect itinerary on the ANZ...

Thanks folks!

Since I've got Buckleys of gaining enougyh status credits this year to retain platinum status (and will fall a long way short) I'm wondering what the likely outcome will be? I'm hoping to get away with being demoted only one grade to gold, though It'll be touch and go whether I even get enough...

Thanks Matt, as far as I can see the MEL flights all go via Sydney or Brisbane, but I'll have acloser look ...

Ah yes, I forgot that one. Only twice a week though, I think, but might be able to work with that. Thanks!

Maybe one of the forum's "elder statesmen" might be able to jump in here and help me out.... My partner and I were looking at flying from HBA to ZQN some time in November (probably but not necessarily) via MEL. I've been checking fares and schedules for some time. Suddenly, all Virgin flights...

Thanks Milefest. It's really the stat creds that I'm interested in as I plot and scheme my way to retaining platinum status!

Yes, I was looking at cash fares on the actual flight booking page, where the various columns list the different fares and conditions for different classes (Light, Choice, etc) that flight, e.g. Choose your seat Che cked baggage Change flights more than 14 days to departure Change flights less...

This is a strange one. I was looking at booking flights from HBA to ZQN (via MEL) and although plenty of flights and fare options (Choice, Flex. Business etc) were displayed, none of them listed any status credits. Presumably status credits are earned on these flights? Can anybody shed any...

Thanks for the replies.

Quick question ... I understand that lounge access is available for status flyers when flying with Singapore Air, etc., , but does Platinum status ensure access to first class partner lounges (like it does for Qantas WPs when flying with Cathay, Finnair, etc)? Thanks.

What everyone else said! Plus ...for me there's no single blockbuster reason, it's the sum of them all... ... and ... Priority baggage. I've had it so long now that I take it for granted. Except when I'm forced to fly Jetstar and find myself waiting and waiting and waiting at the carousel.

Yea, looks like the work experience kids have all clocked off for the night....

Safety in numbers eh,? 😉

Logged in to Q web site to check on about a half dozen upcoming bookings ... every one I tried to access produced an "Error 500" message. Given that my confidence in Qantas right now is just about at zero, this leaves me paranoid that somehow they've all been trashed (all domestic btw, some...
