    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Well it does exist, they just appear to be cutting the domestic leg. It's still available on Dec 6 PER-LHR but MEL-PER is no longer there

    Qantas Neighbour Free Seat Reservations

    Agreed and certainly not positive. Thought if you're travelling on the triangle route at peak times, I've found it quite difficult to maintain a shadow in r4/5 as people either a) select the middle at T-80 as they don't want to be seated in Siberia (i.e. further than row 8) or b) someone gets...

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

    Whist you are correct that Humpty Doo (the place) isn't on a waterway, Humpty Doo barramundi is farmed barramundi which is indeed local produce - Humpty Doo Barramundi | Premium Fish, Wild Territory

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I'm in the same boat Matt - I will requalify this year which will extend me to Mar 24 (although turns out QF would have done this even if I hadn't stepped on a flight) and then suspect I will drop to WP and maintain that level from there. My experiences (both int'l and domestic) when I first...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I would say I'm amazed that QF is still cycling these menus through after 5+ months but I'm not - these are the same as I've experienced going to UK and US in May. You used to get a little more variety across different international routes, however doesn't appear to be the case anymore (with the...

    Qantas-IndiGo partnership

    Yes, you are correct. It was ~9hr layover, however it allowed a full days work prior to flying out the evening. I used to get on the CX flight, sleep through to HKG, arrive around am, grab breakfast at the Wing, then have a bath in the cabana before making my way to the Pier for some lunch, sit...

    Qantas-IndiGo partnership

    The timing of QF68 is what get's me. I generally travel to MAA 3-6 times per year for a week at a time and my preferred routing was via HKG (obviously pre COVID and political issues with HK). Would head up on the Sunday to be in the office Monday and then could do a full day Friday before the...

    Platinum One Status Run

    Definitely not worth it. If you were a few hundred away then maybe, but not if you're only a third of the way there. IMO, you'd be best to wait until post Oct 22, and just earn WP in your new membership year to extend it to Oct 24. Not to mention that some of your SC's will roll over so you...

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    I highly doubt that an A380 would be economically viable even if it could be to full capacity. For the vast majority of people going from AU to US, their final destination is rarely NYC. That's part of the reason that the QF shuttle from LAX>JFK was rarely full (yes, I'm aware they couldn't sell...

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    Agree that the combined premium lounges have been great - LHR, HKG (though I always chose The Pier), BNE intl, SIN (until they opened the F-lounge) - however I think the point is that the combined lounges removes another benefit from WP/WP1.

    Which Business cabin is best?

    787 - it's an easy choice IMO. Newer seat, better seat fabric, larger o/h bins, larger windows, adjustable central divider, 3x loos

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    A more effective way for this apology to be enacted would have been to simply (for the membership YEs in question), roll forward the amount of SCs earned. That way the actual flyers who have continued to fly / spend with QF would get a real benefit, those that had done some flying would get a...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well from some of these responses there appears to be no rhyme nor reason for 15k v 30k points offering - not even between WP and P1

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Ah, that's a good point given those with YE post July will miss out on the status extension.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Offered 15k points. Also will requalify on my own. Wonder what you did to get the 30k!

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Something along those lines would be a much more effective way of administering the extension. Yes, just had a look at the page and it's the same 40% cap. I guess my point is (again, not just a P1 issue), that those that have actually been flying QF and likely enduring the lions share of the...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Totally agree Matt. Somewhat frustratingly is that those that have remained flying QF and have put up with various stuff ups but will retain their status will effectively get nothing - sorry, might get some extra points. So QF is rewarding those that haven’t flown, but those that have is a bit...

    Incorrect status credits showing in booking page

    I wouldn't waste your time. You'll get a call centre somewhere outside Australia after sitting on hold for a number of minutes / hours and they won't properly understand your query nor do they have the ability to do anything about it. There are clear published earn rates on the QF site, and...

    Incorrect status credits showing in booking page

    I would suggest that it's an error on QFs site (not unusual TBH). The points table on QF website states you will earn a minimum of 90 SCs assuming you booked discount PE.

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    I don't fully agree with this. All recent flights (both int'l and dom) that I have been on have been very full with a lot of business travel. At some point QF is also going to need to purge the number of people with WP/SG status that have only retained status due to the extensions. I'm not sure...
