For me the main improvements were: - increased international upgrade notifications - A380s to LHR, LAX and HKG - domestic J lounges (with all-day barista service) - more website functionality (unfortunately, ASA removal has put a big dent on that point) However, on the flipside: - ridiculously...

Just a warning to avoid disappointment: As far as I understand, the "soft landing" from Platinum to Gold only applies as long as you have the 4 mandatory QF flights, not without. If you do not have the 4 QF flights, you will likely go directly back to Bronze, no matter how many SC you made in...

If I would now fly AB Y, with my QF Platinum card I can access the AB and Oneworld lounges, but not their "exclusive waiting area". But I fly AB Y with my Virgin Platinum card I can access the AB lounges and their "exclusive waiting area", but not other Oneworld lounges. And the same applies if...

Just one correction: TXL is the airport code for the old Berlin Tegel airport, the new airport will get the IATA-coder BER And by the way, you are right that QF cannot compete (even on this possible route) without refreshing the A330 product first.

I would very much welcome that. Just to make it clear: EK currently does not fly to BER / TXL because they are not allowed; EK has requested the route multiple times and got rejected every time (many think due to influence by LH). QF has the right to fly there, so this would make perfect sense...

Re: Qantas Cafe Breakfast And that is very disappointing. I had the "Cafe Breakfast" now twice between SIN and SYD/BNE and I am hugely disappointed by it: - Less breakfast items than what you get on a SYD-MEL flight; and - Very slow coffee service. I think it is a terrible Qantas cost-cutting...

re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April Thanks for the comparison markis10! But you forgot to mention that for the price difference of $140.12 you are now allowed to check in a second piece baggage :-)

I think your TA is right. I was flying last week SYD-SIN (in Y) and is was VERY empty (load around 40%). The FA mentioned that it is the same in J and has been for all her recent Asia flights.

From what I understand (I have NO insider knowledge!) it was BA not wanting to continue to codeshare with QF on their flights AU - Asia, so QF had no choice but to remove the codeshare.

Keep your expectations low! No Business Class with AB within Europe, only on inter-continental flights. Regarding lounges, as OW elite you will have some lounge-access in TXL (BA or AF lounge, your choice, I recommend the BA lounge), but not to the "exclusive waiting area" from AB and the lounge...

I have decided not to hoard points and to "reward" me and partner about once a year with an international JASA or FASA. I had a sudden medical condition a few years ago that prevented me from flying for a couple of months and since then I am happy to use my points whenever I like / whenever I...

Without doubt, the SYD and MEL F lounges are amoung the best in the world. HOWEVER, in the years I am using them I have also seen the savings (even in items such as less newspapers in SYD) and sometimes not enough staff to provide "First Class" service for the number of users, particularly...

re: [4 Class] A380-800 reconfig UD question Does anybody know what this will mean for seatnumbers in Y? Will 80 A / K stil be the best Y seats or will the seatnumbers change? Or will those good seats disappear alltogether?
