See- for me it’s way more than a “nice to know what to expect”: I can’t eat seafood and fish is also rather risky. Especially on many carriers from Asia, that’s a pretty difficult proposition. So, on JAL being able to at least pre-order the boring steak (that’s all they offer “Western” which is...

Hasn't been a thing for ages now. What I don't understand- of course, the likes of QR and SQ can do it, no one is surprised about this. But if American Airlines for all can offer a pre-order meal service on their Domestic services even (and have though for eternities in F/J), hell then Qantas...

Not sure, haven’t tried. I doubt that the bonus points will be tripled but who knows.

Yep, that’s what it states. But mine was definitely not the first case and I still got the triple points. Very happy 😃

If you are a fresh subscriber to one of those, it's actually "official" that you get triple points on the first box so yes, definitely. For me, it was the second box which "officially" shouldn't count towards the triple points offer but still did. I've subscribed to the "Big and Bold reds" and...

Yep- they explicitly stated that any wine subscription would not count towards the triple points promotion but they still did- just checked my account and voila. A Domestic return flight just on top of a dozen of (really nice) Aussie reds? Count me in! As long as you don’t need customer...

My apologies, that was not at all what I was trying to say- I'm sure you simply stated matters of fact, did not mean to imply you were rude!

Oh wow, I must be waaaay to polite when something goes wrong and there have been plenty of cases when it was certainly more severe than just a missing starter… Okay. Note to self- pack boxing gloves into hand luggage on Qantas flights from now on!

Both Malev and Air Berlin are a real downer, I must say. And it leaves huge gaps for traveling within Europe- detouring via Helsinki or London might be fun for the airline nerd, but it’s really not a good alternative. LATAM is also a real shame of course but for me, the biggest glaring gap in...

Wow, best I've ever got was a bottle of wine. Maybe that's a new thing with those points? I'm usually good at complaining so must do this more on Qantas from now on :cool:

Wow- I had no idea that you could split up the amounts into smaller chunks! That’s very useful information, thanks everyone!

Still no sign of actual renovation work I assume? Last time, a few months ago, I asked the friendly ladies at the front if they knew anything more recent, and they sarcastically told me that at least now, they’ve got “a wall”. I at first didn’t get it but realised later that they were...

I don't know, Qantas seems to have done their research before endeavouring on such a costly project- and I can imagine that there's indeed a market for these non-stop flights. I myself would always prefer having a stopover so this will be a once done as a bit of a novelty (holding out for Paris...

Of course, and as I said, totally dependent on travel patterns. It hardly gets me to regional Australia but definitely twice a year to Europe and a couple of time elsewhere overseas so Hyatt works perfect for me. Also agree, especially upgrades on mid tier are far and few between but I had...

I had mainly used Hilton and Starwood (RIP) mid tier status through the Amex in the past and have received some very memorable upgrades over those years. Definitely not all the time but this is true even for Diamond status with Hilton which I also held for a while. However, I have now switched...

Couldn't agree more, I'd say that even within Asia-Pacific, Accor is the worst of the bunch, both in terms of benefits and also just the general quality of their properties. Definitely Hilton being the best of the Amex status benefits, I'd agree there as well.

Property: Park Hyatt Auckland, New Zealand Tier: Globalist Booked: Standard city view King 465NZD Received: A huuuuge 2 bedroom suite with personalised welcome card and a bottle of Kiwi bubbly Stayed here two times now and absolutely adore this property! From the outside, it’s hard to grasp how...

Not sure whether to put it here on the Qantas call centre thread but I need to let off some steam: I've been shopping big time with Qantas wine since the early Epicure days but never really had to call about an account matter with them before so I have only ever spoken to the lovely...

Sounds all a bit awful tbh. Luckily, I’m no FIFO and seems like others thankfully will run little risk to end up on an ex-Spirit aircraft :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot- that's the plan and yes, the 10am the next morning. I've never stayed at that hotel but have passed there numerous times on regional flights so at least I know the layout of this airport.
