I wish it was but it wasn’t. Didn’t last long and I tried booking one ASAP and it errored out 😡

Work experience kids were busy last night. Logged in just after midnight and in my searches there was J availability on practically every QR flight including the VA ones ex Australia for dates I wanted but they disappeared in a matter of minutes. Guessing someone flicked the wrong switch 🤣

Absolutely concur.

Quite normal unfortunately. Always pays when booking fares like this to be wary of which programs will credit points and the various exceptions

Did you manage to get the WY 787’s on the KUL legs? Huge difference in product of cop the MAX

I’ve dropped back through the ranks and now a lowly Silver and I think I even lose that soon. Going to see if they will let me have Diamond again as I reckon it looks like my best option in the US and Caribbean

Not currently but when I fly through next time I will. Need one QR flight to be status matched to QR Platinum and we normally stay in Doha for 2 or 3 days so should be fine for the flight out

It looks a real mess currently and after crunching a few numbers it doesn’t make any sense for me to book on the VA wet lease flights. No access to the AS is a big deal breaker for me too

Yep, need to get the deal done before angering the Unions. Once the deal is done you can then appoint who you please

Down to my last 48k so might top up again. Always handy to have

Personally I’d love more Hotel programs to have a revenue spend option as for many there is simply no way I’ll get there on stay nights. Marriott is one program in particular that I’ve looked into especially for travels later this year but zero chance of staying 50 nights. Probably spend $20k no...

Have stayed there several times due to convenience and how they look after status customers so sad to see them go. We are flying less through Asian hubs these days and our preference is via the ME so perhaps we wouldn’t have stayed there many more times in the future but it’s still a loss

It is bizarre as I’ve flown through DOH many times and have so far avoided the dreaded bus gate 😝 I’ve jinxed myself now though 🤣

For OW I’m BAEC Gold and Mrs Jase is QF Gold. We travel together OS but thanks to us using other OW carriers to/from Australia it’s easier for me to get higher status. With the changes to BAEC though I’m going to flip to QR Privilege Platinum and try to maintain that. All our leisure travel is...

Flow on effect from the EY incident last night?

I have a bit to do with regional SA in my work role and travel a bit on QF and very rarely are there delays or cancellations. Fairly basic airports and none have lounges. Prices as mentioned above are comparable to what you pay ex DRW

I’ve only tried not being logged in a couple times and didn’t notice much difference but good to know for people that may be in that situation of moving between tiers

To the best of my knowledge the app or the website don’t distinguish between status when showing “breakfast included” rates

Europe unfortunately is hit and miss for Accor stays unfortunately. We have had some truly wonderful status recognition where you wouldn’t expect it but in general it ranges from poor to average. You should fare much better in SEA

Nice. Good to know it was a quick resolution. I’ve got a few transits through DOH planned this year and the QR Platinum wil come in handy for AS lounge access and I can dump BAEC and move over to QR Privilege club
