    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Yes, I don't disagree. But at least it had frothed milk and wasn't the pot coffee which is what I had been subjected to whilst I was in the US

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Your comment re coffee is interesting. I've found it depends on the crew / your status what type of coffee you get. The 787 is equipped to make proper coffee (not the pot brewed / pot stuff) but it's hit and miss whether it's offered. On one of my flights back from DFW last year the CSM...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Whilst I don't disagree - particularly on the short overnights from Asia - I feel that QF are damned if they do, damned if they don't. They can't please everyone and if they moved to an 'express dinner' then there would be those in the peanut gallery saying that they 'paid a lot of money for...

    The results only come through that early if QF are processing upgrades then (same for WP). They obviously thought that there was a chance of still selling some / all of those seats so only processed them when you received them. You are still at the front of the pecking order though. Generally...

    Article: Reward Seat Release Patterns Have Changed Fundamentally

    Appears to devalue those with status if the batch release is the way of the future. Essentially someone with no status but lots of points has the same ability to grab a seat as I do as a P1...

    Alan Joyce to leave Qantas immediately

    One has to imagine that he was pushed given his own narcissism and ego wouldn't allow him to make a rational decision

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I suspect that the reason that QF put that rubbish in the lounge is twofold: 1) surplus stock post COVID and 2) too many WPs still riding the wave of extensions, DSCs, etc. that naturally would have dropped to SG during this period. I know a number of them who ended up in this predicament and we...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I did receive one last year (post COVID) on requalifying (outside of QF extending everyone again) and now appears that on requalifying this year they have sent out a new card with the extended expiry. I agree though, couldn't tell you the last time mine was out of the wallet, or when I've...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Received the pro-forma AJ letter congratulating me on retaining P1, as well as a new card and the P1 brochure extolling the benefits of P1. From memory I only received the letter and card last year after re-qual. Though not sure why they bother sending the brochure now that I'm in my 6th year of...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Thanks for the information / comparison. Interesting for me to read as a rusted on QF flyer. Interestingly I've just taken my first couple of flights on SQ as a KF Gold (status match) and can see why a lot of people rave about SQ (particularly when I compare to my recent QF flights)...

    Not sure how beneficial it’ll be (well tbh not sure how beneficial any complaint to QF really is). I have gone to the VIP team about a similar issue before (catering in dom J was not loaded so served some paltry cheese and crackers from y) and received a lacklustre response stating they were...

    Linking KrisFlyer account to booking

    Hoping that someone with more experience on SQ than I can assist. Due to a more appealing schedule, my next work trip will be on SQ (my first with them). Naturally I signed up to KrisFlyer. My work TA has made the booking, and in doing so has included my middle name in the booking (their...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I’m highly doubtful/ sceptical as anything slightly positive would have well and truly been spun by QF. Happy to be proven wrong though!

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Yes, I’ve been entering them all too. Whilst I was a little sceptical about who won these in the past, I was pretty sure they were legitimate as they stated they were facilitated by a third party. Plus I believe that competitions (especially those of values such as these) are much more tightly...

    Yes, very much so! Now to decide when to go (and arrange care for the little one 😅)

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well I’ll be damned. I’ve been quiet around these woods for a while as I’m currently on parental leave so no travel. Got a call from QF this afternoon and when I answered I wondered whether it was to ask why I’d cut down travel of late when in fact it was to tell me I’d won the trip to London...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    It’s probably the only real tangible benefit left of the P1 status. I personally find it very beneficial and have gifted it in different years to my father and wife depending on the travel etc they had coming up. Depending on the person that you’re asking and whether they have a partner...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    To close this one out, I have checked in and have been assigned seat 2A. I went to look to see whether other seats available however nothing in 1 or 2 and limited selections further back. Unclear as to whether I have a shadow at this stage as I cannot select 2B. The flight tomorrow will tell...
