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

    Yes, can typically take a week or two to change over. I sampled this menu a couple of times last month. Bang Bang salad was good, as was the barramundi. The pork belly was too soy / salty for my liking. S&P squid was same as usual.

    QF Oz to USA September 2022 - preferred route?

    Given the choices you've outlined the 7 to DFW (and return) would be my pick for a number of reasons: Afternoon departure from Sydney meaning you can have a relaxing lunch in the F-lounge and also aren't battling the morning departure rush (having been there for both the QF1 and QF7 recently...

    Whilst I appreciate I'm off topic, delays are also happening due to weather. I'm glad I got out last week as a colleague was meant to get home Thursday morning on the 8, now not getting home until tomorrow evening at 21.30 after missing the 8, then having to go to LAX, BNE and finally SYD.

    Having just done a US trip last week it was relatively painless. Attestation completed online with email of completed form sent. Turned up to check in with passport, vaccination certificate and proof of negative Covid result (from chemist warehouse) in physical copy, attestation (digital copy...

    Second P1 invite ever. Have been offered tickets to Mary Poppins at the Sydney Lyric Theatre in June. My first and only other invite was to the cricket back in late March 2020 with the event being cancelled due to Covid. In terms of other recent experiences - was in the US last week for work...

    How long until you get to LTP? (Or are you already there ^_~)

    Saw my first LTP metal bag tag in the wild on way back from DFW this week. Looked nice, though not sure 75,000 SCs nice

    Not a problem. Re the CX lounge - unless you plan on getting there nice and early, the CX lounge closes at 17:30. Given the 21:05 departure time of QF2 and the fact that I was coming straight from the office, I was well and truly after this time

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF1 SYD-LHR May 2022 SYD-DRW: Had the soup to start (no photo), followed by the lamb and then the cheese. Decent enough meal. DRW-LHR (no photos as my wine consumption meant I forgot): Had the lamb sandwich, croque monsieur and then a breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, mushroom and grilled...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Interesting that you say this as the best / most professional crew I had on the entire trip was my return LHR>DRW flight crewed by UK based crew. Worst was then the DRW>SYD leg as it felt a very junior crew that wanted to make as much noise as possible which is frustrating when it's a 3.5hr...

    Ask The Pilot

    Pilots, interesting scenario on Friday evening leaving LHR. We got to the runway threshold (27L) after taxiing from T3 gate 13 when the captain announced that we would need to sit there for 5 or so minutes to burn off some fuel to meet MTOW. We then sat there and heard the engines spool up and...

    QF 79 OCT flight cancelled, alternative flights involve 11.5 hr layover in SYD

    Before you worry about losing DSC, when was the flight credit from? If it was from a period outside the DSC period, even if your booking was made during the DSC window, it is likely that you would not receive the DSCs anyways. This is because your flight credit has a PNR from your original...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I hadn't actually thought about it like that. Maybe my expectations of a hot meal (as advertised) and a drink top up (instead of the three crew members standing in the galley and gas-bagging the entire flight) were indeed unreasonably high...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Couple of recent 'experiences' of mine. As reported in this thread, I received a paltry cheese box when a hot meal was noted (luckily only a short dom flight so not a huge issue) and also some underwhelming crew behaviour in general. I provided feedback via email to the VIP Service Team...

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    Has anyone received any DSC yet? Just curious as reading through the thread it would appear not.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Very underwhelming B717 experience CFS>SYD today. 1655 flight which was noted as a 'hot' meal. Got served a pathetic cheese and crackers box with no comment on whether catering wasn't loaded or whether this was it - very budget carrier. Then after the crew had handed out the box and served a...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Received the below from the VIP Service Team regarding upcoming travel. Initially got excited as thought they might be offering me an opportunity to book the spa or something but reading through it's pretty generic. Will be interested to see whether I get any further updates in the event there...
