Last week I received a panicked call from a friend of a friend (person A) who had just landed at BKK for the start of a 2 week TH holiday. Somewhere between boarding their flight in Dubai and getting to immigration at BKK this person's travelling companion (person B) had lost their passport...

I have 2-3 trips a year to the US so should be ok. Does means switch from CX to AA which is a bit of a downer (in a very first world problem kind of way)

If you live outside Oz then there is not option or question. have to leave QF and move to AA. Keeping WP on QF based in BKK is no longer possible - even with my travel load. Especially with LTG

I do a lot of BKK-SYD flying. Have come to know QF 23/24 very well. Last year on a J class flight we were handed first class amenities kits. "That's nice" I said to the CSM or FA. "What's the special occasion?". "I think they change the packs in first class on international so we have...

I have been doing a lot of flying out of BKK on EK in the last few months. The EK lounge is under renovation at the moment so EK passengers are being sent to the QF lounge (which is the old combined BA/QF business lounge). I thought (at first) that everything was in the same in the EK version...

Re: EK upgrade love April 5 BKK to SYD on QF ticket but flying EK metal upgraded from Y to J (QF WP no status on EK)

In addition to making money for QF you were (most likely) an advocate. You (I assume like me) told all of your friends about how amazing the lounges were. You talked about your status being "absolutely worth it". You entertained (ok bored to tears) anyone next you at a dinner party about how...

My qualification date in 30 Nov. Leading up to 30 Nov last year I "ummed" and "aaahed" about what to do. Put my SCs back into QF or switch to AA. I posted here and posted elsewhere. I even did the AA platinum challenge. Then my first trip post 30 Nov came up. A J fare from BKK to NYC, so a...

Re: EK upgrade love I was flying BKK to DXB on and EK ticket booked in J. Upgraded to First in both directions. April 2013. QF WP and LTG

I had a monster flight year this year. 2,450 SCs on QF, 65,000 EQMs on AA and a bunch of other flights as well. With the help of the AA Challenge I achieved AA Plat and am 65% of the way to E-Plat. The challenge is what to do next in 2014 to plan for 2015 My flying in 2014 is going to drop...

I agree. If the OP was talking about something temporary or immediate such as someone having left a mess in a shower or no soap or no napkins then it makes sense to push back to the OP and ask them to raise this with the manager before here. However with mold on the ceiling is a systemic not...

i was looking for the "Yuk" button next to the like button but it is missing. Maybe I need to try from a different browser. The last time I saw an image like that it was at a university after party bathroom

Re: How strictly does QF enforce the 4~ requirement for retention of status? I was surprised how easy it was. I spent time on this forum and others looking and the right time to start the challenge and trying to line up a series of different OW flights. Then - boom - one return J ticket and...

Re: How strictly does QF enforce the 4~ requirement for retention of status? Jack - not sure Finnair counts. You will need to do the research but not all OW airlines are in the challenge

This is critical. I have been hit with $5 a box charges plus the need to tip the bellhop that brought the boxes to my room

The WP sweet spot for me (now that anytime lounge access is gone) is the availability of classic award booking seats. In 2011 I went down to gold for the first time in a decade. I became acutely aware of how much harder it was to book a classic award seat. As a WP the staff on the phone...

Do you prefer the combined lounge experience to a separate First and Biz set up?

Re: How strictly does QF enforce the 4~ requirement for retention of status? I just completed the AA Plat challenge with only one J class return on QF (BKK-SYD). Cost is US$240 for the challenge but gets you OW Sapphire.

This is a very interesting thread for me. I have just completed the AA platinum challenge and have WP qualified until November 2014. Meaning I am in a position to decide on what to do from this November. Do I focus my next qualification year on AA exec platinum completely (meaning QF LTG from...
