    QF Gold access to Emirates partner lounges on EK flights?

    I've been trying to find written confirmation for Qantas Gold members to be able to access Emirates' partner lounges in airports where there is no branded Emirates lounge. This is for travel on an Emirates jet with an EK flight numbered ticket. Back in 2016 I did access the partner lounge in...

    Qantas to operate evacuation flights from Lebanon via Cyprus to Sydney

    Doesn't the press release on the first page of the thread say that Qantas is providing the flight to the government at no cost (as well as being free for passengers)?

    Moving paid seat selection to an updated booking after airline changes flight

    Maybe this kills it: "We will not be able to refund you if you’ve made changes to your sector." Seems like they get to keep the money for not providing a service. https://www.emirates.com/au/english/book/about-booking-online/emirates-seat-selection/

    Moving paid seat selection to an updated booking after airline changes flight

    That's my reading of that clause too. I'll see if I can convince them to call again, and hopefully get a more polite and helpful agent. They are a bit shaken after the treatment they were given this morning. The agent yesterday was very good (they were visiting us yesterday and mum put me on to...

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    I'm now WP and LTG, but I started as a self funded QP memebr in 1996. Back then QP had a similar level of benefit to gold status now, including access to One World lounges when flying on those partner airlines. It would be good to see some of the various enhancements wound back.

    Article: A Brief History of Qantas Frequent Flyer

    I've still got my QP welcome pack from 1996 or so (will dig it out tonight). I joined QFF in 1995 so have a membership number <900,000. Oh and I still have my carry-on bag from being Silver. It was great as a laptop bag when they were a lot less portable than they are now! Someone said above...

    my frst B747 flight was SYD - CNS on VH-OEB in 1998, just after the aircraft came to Qantas from Asiana Airlines. I used a Qantas Club Silver upgrade bonus (remember getting those?) to bump myself up to Business Class. My boarding pass was for seat 3K - in the first class section of the nose...
