Have received the email and expected delivery today...looking forward to sipping some Grant Burge this evening 😁

I have considered BAEC but feel that even reaching WP could be a challenge in certain years due to my travel being unpredictable (both in terms of quantity and location). My travel policies have always been QF as well (due to rebates mentioned up thread). Ultimately for me I have realised that...

Given there are only a few responses here on actual jobs, I'll provide some information. Again to keep it somewhat vague, I'm a management consultant that is still reasonably early in my career. The vast majority of my travel is employer / client funded and is highly dependent on the project. My...

Correct. I was on the flight. Captain came on to explain that due to the prior late arrival of the 1 from Sydney that they had to delay to allow for min Tech crew rest (cabin crew UK based so not an issue on their end). They apparently tried to find alternate tech crew but that didn't play out.

Currently in the lounge. Menu same as up thread. Have enjoyed a decent meal of the duck salad, guo bao and then the burger. Champagne is Pommeray and piper. Still not making coughtails other than what’s on the menu (despite having all the ingredients for a negroni 😡). They were happy to make a...

You left out: - bags turning up (ideally less than three weeks post flight) - getting what you actually paid for (e.g. meal in business class) - getting through to the call centre as a P1 in less than 25 mins - dealing with QF staff without attitude Ah, the great memories!

QF01 SYD-LHR 8 Oct J - > F success at T-29 hours

Thanks for the information. So the post above stating OQG is in AUH from 29 July isn't correct then?

Does anyone know how many A380s QF current have on rotation as based on the post above on I would have thought 6, but can only seem to account for 4 frames?

Anyone know what’s going on with the 1 at the moment? A cancellation and some significant delays in the past week. Todays (Tue 4 Oct) appears to be heavily delayed also.

Whilst you are entitled to your opinion, given the P1 requirement is 3x that of retaining WP (with a 2700 requirement on QF / JQ) then in my opinion it is entirely fair to gift the status. Given the additional nominal benefits of P1, you could argue that the P1 has effectively earned WP for...

Not a problem. It's on the status activity page under your current year earn (see below). I only noticed I could gift the status to another person when I logged in one day to find that Person 1 had dropped off. Before gifting to person 2 I did check with person 1 that they still had Platinum and...

I am not sure with respect to your specific question, however in light of the COVID status extensions, my experience was I had gifted Plat to person 1, then when COVID extensions were enacted their status was extended meaning I was then able to gift to person 2. Given the recent announcement of...

At that time of year corporate travel has fallen off a cliff. They are more likely able to sell a revenue Y ticket than J as leisure travellers are much more price sensitive. If a leisure traveller has to go they are going to choose the $500 Y fare over the $1000+ J fare 99 times out of 100.

It's also shorter than QF's current PER-LHR flights, although I do note that I haven't factored in the element of the wind here. AirNZ could send the bags via one of their many other US destinations if bag offloading becomes a regular occurrence.

Thank you. Will see how I feel on the day!

Apologies for the second OT question - which lounge would you recommend when travelling QF1/2 given the relatively short layover?

Thanks. Will be interested to see whether I’m offered on my trip next month. Though I am also hoping that the upgrade fairies come through for me

How did you book the spa? At the lounge on arrival or are the first hosts back doing the call around prior?

Yes, I’ve had the same response in the Syd lounge. And given I could see they had the ingredients required was a little annoyed. Slight OT, however this was one of the points of feedback I provided in a recent survey and the particular question was around lounge experience / service. Not sure...
