No idea on when the next promo would be, but word of warning re DCS eligibility based on how you've written your post about reservation vs ticketing. The DSC is based on when your PNR is created (i.e. when your reservation is initially made which it sounds like you've already done) not when...

Thanks - appreciate the response. I also hope there have been no 'enhancements' either

If there was a suitable number of vacant seats available (i.e. F or J), would they have any of the crew pax immediately to LHR on the same aircraft? I'm thinking more tech crew so that further future flights aren't potentially disrupted? Also, what would be the rest period for the crew post...

Keep your expectations sufficiently low and they will be met - that goes for all aspects of flying QF at the moment. On my recent QF J flights to LHR, DFW and DEL, I can say that the food has been pretty average and certainly not worthy of the price of a J seat when compared to other carriers...

Unlike the Gold match which is from registration until Dec 23, it seems that we will need to stay at least one night at one of their hotels to extend the Platinum status through to 31 Dec 23

Makes sense. I was travelling a few times in May when the 380 was on the LAX route so suspect that's why F was open in the morning.

Yes, they still have all day check in at SYD. Though I found that the First Class check in counter was closed after the morning rush however this may have changed now that the A380 and F is back on the 1.

Agreed. I didn't mention it as I had figured that the OP had not earned a loyalty bonus as that would require 500 SCs on a QF/JQ operated flight (no DSC) and given they are / were at 590 SCs total with a number coming from DCSs my assumption is that they didn't do the requisite flying.

I'm confused. From what I understand you're already Gold, therefore given you have taken a flight / made a booking prior to 31 Dec 22, your current gold status will be continued for next membership year. Have I missed something? Regarding your other question, no, status credits apply to the...

That sounds correct. I assume you mean row 24? 23 is blocked for P1 on domestic flights so therefore what I said above holds. For domestic travel, first row of economy (rows 23 and 4) is blocked for P1 with different rules then applying for intl (e.g. emerald ability to book r4 on TT).

Indeed it was and totally agree that it would be great if they did cater these dishes more widely. Challenge is, where do they stop as you can’t cater everything everywhere. I was tempted to go with the tikka for the first meal and in hindsight wish I had. Next time…

If memory serves me correctly, R4 on AU>NZ flights I thought is available for all Emeralds whereas it's only available for P1's on AU domestic routes. Were you able to select R4 on your MEL>SYD (if 737).

Recent QF69 (😁) menu and food. Menu itself (at least the first half) very similar to one's we've seen previously. Chicken salad ok, barra ok also. The biryani was quite tasty as was the tiramisu. I had the cheese for the dessert with the first meal which was a typical QF cheese plate. Am...

Definitely either of those points is plausible given the lack of real positive news.

Yes dropped in value but let's not forget that the 'value' that's often been ascribed to these prizes relate to QF flights whereby the appear to quote the most costly fare bucket for the flights component so the value is somewhat overstated. Plus, it's a good way for QF to flog some business...

That menu is identical to the one I had on QF7 in early-May. You would think they could at least change them if not monthly then seasonally...

It's not a mistake. Even though technically a domestic leg, it's still counted as the first leg of an international sector and it's PE. Also, PE doesn't exist from a dom perspective. Think of it in a similar context to AA in the US with their dom 'First' (i.e. business) vs int'l first* (obv...

Again, might not be one for this particular thread but given we have an esteemed QF A380 (retired) driver I figured it was the best place I could think of to ask. As we know, QF are retiring / scrapping two of its 12 A380's (apparently one is being scrapped as we speak). The two that have been...

Now that is a shame. Thanks though. Appreciate the links / photo. Will take a look when I can.

Do you (or anyone else for that matter) happen to have a QF69 menu as I'm on it in just over a weeks time. Apologies if you posted this already, however from searching I couldn't find it.
