To add to the data set: Current status: Platinum Lifetime Status Credits: 14,000+ (QF stop showing it after LTG is reached, and I don't keep track myself) Years with the QFF program: 14 Operational Upgrades: 1* *Just to show you how random op-ups can be, the only time I've ever been upgraded...

I reached LTG last year, and made the decision to maintain my WP status each year on the basis that it's far easier to redeem points for classic award flights as a WP than as SG. If that changes I'll have to reconsider whether I stick with QF / oneworld as other than points redemption there's...

Fly CX more often :) Last CX flight I took had caviar & Krug as appetiser, lobster as entree, venison as main. Can't remember dessert - was probably too full for it after all that.

I have a spare horse head for you (:)), and I'll disagree that status belongs only to those who take multiple flights in Y to earn it, especially as I'm one of those people who earn it the opposite way. QFF is about rewarding loyalty and, given QF is a corporate entity, the capitalist society...

I've met a few AFF members at previous WWDC conferences over the last few years - just wondering if anyone is going again this year? Hopefully someone else was lucky enough to buy a ticket in the 120 seconds they were available before selling out... :o I'll be on QF11 on Sunday 9 June (should...

Thanks for that - I didn't realise that the charter guys could organise it directly as part of their ground services. Until the article on these celebs I didn't think anyone outside government or military could use the 'international' part of the airport - very interested to have learned otherwise.

I assume this facility operates out of the RAAF side of the airport, not the commercial terminal?If anyone can make use of the customs facility to leave the country on a private flight I think I'll have to look into this further next time we want to fly to NZ.

Does anyone know what customs arrangements are being made for this flight? Are they paying to set up a customs departure point at CBR or is the 747 tracking via another non-curfew airport with those facilities (which doesn't make sense as surely they'd just fly directly to that airport from...

Mickie63, Sorry for not seeing your post sooner - haven't been flying the last few months so my AFFing has reduced too. I didn't need to provide a US utility bill when activating my card - I just sent a copy of my Australian driver's licence and that's all they needed. Did you sign up with...

Haven't been around here for a little while but was just about to post the same thread. I'll be there on Monday - would be happy to catch up before or after.

I normally just move money from my US business PayPal account to the personal account linked to the prepaid card, so both sides of the transfers are in USD. If you transfer from an Australian account to a US account you can send money denominated in USD but you will pay PayPal's exchange rates...

It is linked to my US based PayPal account. I had issues at first trying to transfer money from my PayPal account to the PayPal Prepaid card - the money kept bouncing back. It turns out that my US PayPal account had a business name associated with it (I used it for business transactions in the...

I had this exact same experience at T4 in LAX a few years ago, except my daughter was only 6 months old at the time. As I'd simply presented my own boarding pass and WP card they had decided my wife was there as my guest and my daughter therefore wouldn't be allowed access to the Flagship...

Re: F seating on Qantas A380 Personally I'm not a fan of 5A - the closet to the right is used by the cabin crew and it can be annoying when they keep opening it (with the bright light inside) during sleepy time. 5K is my favourite, and when flying with my wife we prefer to sit in window seats...

Security at CBR tried to confiscate a small mylar balloon (perhaps 10cm diamater) from my 2 yr old daughter last year - we were there to meet her cousin from the UK and had the small balloon as a welcome gift. Apparently the balloon presented a threat to the safety of an aircraft because it...

Heated steering wheels are great - our Cayenne Turbo has one (as standard) which automatically turns on when it's less than 4 degrees outside. A really nice touch especially if you're up at the snowfields after a long cold day or just jumping in and out of the car on a winter morning in Canberra.

Sadly I had other commitments this afternoon so only managed a very quick visit and didn't get to meet anyone else from AFF this time. I had a good chat to the BA reps about their new A380 First layout and the AA reps about their updated First product on the 773-ER which is coming early next...

The Citroen store is open again - my wife was there last week.

If you're not sick of cars at the end of the motor show, take a walk down the Champs Elysses and stop into the various (free) car displays along the way. Most of the French car makers plus some others have merchandise stores where most of the floorspace is taken up with their flagship vehicle...

Re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A No specific comment on the subject of the special area, but I am happy to confirm that neither of the above claimants are indeed Alan Joyce - he was in First on QF128 last Sunday at the time of those postings... :p
