    Qantas Status Drop Platinum to Bronze or Platinum to Gold

    That would be very interesting - as my AB and AY flights usually take ages until they post (between 2 and 3 weeks automatically - quite often with manual retrocredit even much longer).

    Qantas Club members' lounge access in continental Europe decimated by EK deal

    Until Fools-Day you could access a lounge in every port when you flew EU-LHR-SIN-AU holding a QF-Club or Oneworld status. Now you fly EU-DXB-AU and you have no access to a Lounge in all EU ports. So this is clearly an other devaluation after the culling of the general BA lounge access. The...

    Is Qantas Platinum Status too easy to earn?

    Re: [Repudiated by QF] QF removing Any Seat Awards (ASA) from 08 April <Irony> Why not differentiate between "payed out of my own pocket" and "payed by company"? Payed by company do not deserve a status. They have no decicion. It is an other person that pays - so no benefits for the...

    Is Qantas Platinum Status too easy to earn?

    Re: [Repudiated by QF] QF removing Any Seat Awards (ASA) from 08 April Depending where you live. In Oz it is easy. If you are an overseas member it can be quite hard. It was - until the EK Partnership. I did a lot of Oz-EU trips - no problem with that. But I had years that only took me to...

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April OK - then no benefits on partner airlines. QF should leave Oneworld and die in splendid isolation!

    MH attitude to QFF elite status pax

    Stop complaining!!! - Fly AB and than compare it to QF - Get stuck with AB and than compare it to QF (AB lies, ignores status, lets you stranded, you need a lawyer to get your expenses...)

    Changes to BA earn after March 31

    How about Members living in Europe? I received no Email. I do frequently get their newsletter with lots of unusable offers, Mails how great the new EK/QF Partnership is - but no Email - for my whole family according to that. The Status Bonus is for QF Status - so it is a QF thing. I will wait...

    Changes to BA earn after March 31

    I saw this coming. But I am not amused that they change it with a bit more than two weeks. I have plenty of BA flights booked in April. So I am punished in many ways: - Codeshares removed - No Accural of SCs for Loyalty Bonus - No Status Bonus They should honour it either for a transition...

    Qantas Cash - combined frequent flyer and travel money card

    Those cards will get the same expiry dates as your Frequent Flyer card. I have and use the LH Credit card: It is my Frequent Flyer Card and a real Master Card (linked to my Bank Account). It has two numbers printed on it: My Frequent Flyer Number and a credit card number. After reattaining a...

    Anyone know what happening to BA lounge access after Emirates deal commences?

    BA Call Centre may be hit and miss. The German CC is usually quite nice and competent (BTW the same that QF uses). $7K may be an error. I have a booking (DE-LHR-DE) which quotes 14K Euro for an upgrade (1,5 hours flight!!!) - I really need the SCs. All call centre agents see it, tell me that...

    Older Kids Means Time to Change Airline Alliance Strategy

    I often had the problem that Lounge Dragons make their own rules. I thought that would be a typical German thing (with quite some alignments to the UK...) LH officially allows all own children (how to prove as a male? DNA test?) into the lounge. I had often issues with lounge dragons - some...

    Anyone know what happening to BA lounge access after Emirates deal commences?

    Yes, I do believe it as well, but don't they have a time frame when they have to announce the withdrawal of services? Maybe BA is a bit more clever to keep it in place? What would they lose? - Customer gets SCs and Lounge Access when I flying BA. - QF pays for lounge access. So should be a...

    QF/EK FF benefits revealed

    T5 --> T3 was quite a horror last time. No Fast Track and we hat to wait about 50 Minutes - so no Lounge and just rushing to our plane.

    Opinions on Air Berlin?

    They are as good as their competitors. BA has single class flights on their domestic routes. With IB you have to buy everything - even water - in Euro-Economy. WIth AB you get drinks and a snack for free. All Euro Carries sell a separate cabin with just empty middle seats as "business class"...

    Opinions on Air Berlin?

    Not true. All Lounges in TXL are in the central area. (LH, BA, AF and the Airport Lounge) 5 Minute walk to all gates! You can use the AF or the BA Lounge in TXL. I use the lounge in most of my flights. If you arrive by taxi tell them to drop you off at the Main Hall (Haupthalle) for the use of...

    Opinions on Air Berlin?

    I like AB. There are quite OK. They are usually cheap and offer a standard. Short haul flights are Economy only. As QF-Plat I always got Seat 1C. In most times the seat next to me is empty (for 60-100 Euro per Segment quite a good value!!). Sometimes you can reserve your seat online on...

    Responsible Service of Alcohol Laws and Qantas Lounges

    I do not see your problem: If a group wants to party and get drunk, they will do it - either in a bar, buy their stuff beforehand or in the lounge. Living in a country where it is much easier and cheaper to get drunk, we have no problems with that. - Our legal drinking age is 16 - Alcohol is...

    Air berlin Berlin lounge access

    No! Malev had no own lounge. The one in BUD was Airport Operated. AB gives you all priviliges accoring to Oneworld, but has some weired Exceptions. AB uses Lounges for Emeralds and Saphire Members (AB Gold and AB Platinum). In TXL you can use the BA or the AF (!!!) Lounge with your QF-Gold...
