    Platinum sitting in economy - Do the airlines pay extra attention to us?

    I have had mixed experiences on QF23/24- have had been offered wine from J, and the big personal greeting from the CSM. Have had to ask for the express path cards and was given reluctantly, and asked for a hot chocolate later into the flight and was told "you should have asked when we had the...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Hi all Hoping to get the wisdom of the group on this - am flying from BKK to SIN on 3K in Oct19 (as part of a redemption flight) - I am WP - will I get any lounge access in BKK? From what I can read online looks like WP doesn't get lounge access in BKK as there is no QF lounge. My other thoughts...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Hi all Hoping to pick the brains of the brain trust. I am flying from KIX tomorrow (4 May 2019) on QF34 (KIX-SYD). I am in J and am WP so all good for lounge access. However, I believe there are 2 lounge options - the "KIX Airside Lounge" as featured on the QF website and also there is a JAL...

    EK Cuts Flights to PER and SYD in Early/Mid 2019

    I have flown QF23/24 4 times in the past 12 months and each time the flights were full, was a mix of peak holiday period (made sense that the flights were full) and also during the low season in Thailand, so was expecting a few spare seats on the plane - but didn't see any. Good to see this has...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Absolutely agree, getting two pax upgraded on a peak period flight is a big ask at the best of times, was very surprised that we got the upgrade for 2 pax on QF23 on Boxing Day! Anyway, 9 hours in Economy didn't kill me and I get to keep the 100,000 points for something else!

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    So the J seats must have been purchased between Monday 31 December and Thursday 3 January - interesting that 8 J seats had been sold in only 4 days. So there was no beep when scanning boarding pass so enjoyed the flight in Economy. I wish there was Premium Economy on this route - would...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Yeah I guess. Was still 8 J seats only a few days ago.. I am WP so must be P1/CLs who got the upgrades. We got the upgrade on QF23 on Boxing Day so I guess both ways was hoping for too much!

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Success on QF23 on Wednesday 26 December. 2 pax upgrade from Y to J on A333. Was showing 5 seats in J available on Monday 23 December. Upgrade came through at T-28 via text. One WP and one PS on the one PNR. Flight was full in J and looked full in Y too. I always find it hard to get upgrades on...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Still no text from QF and under the 48 hour notification period for WPs - so assuming unsuccessful here.

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Thank you very much, seems weird so many J seats are unsold but that's good news for me hopefully, provided there aren't many P1/CLs on the flight requesting upgrades.

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Hi all Could someone please check loadings for QF23 from SYD to BKK on Wednesday 26 December? 2 of us booked in Y and have applied for upgrade to J - WP currently so fingers crossed (assume reasonably full in Y and probably a few WPs onboard anyway so chances slim as usual on this route)… Many...

    Went to cancel ANZ Black, retention successful

    My annual fee would have been charged on 20 December. I called on 3 December and asked what they could do to retain me - all that was offered was the 50% off annual fee. I stated that a new customer receives no annual fee, bonus points and status credits, was a flat out refusal to consider...

    Auckland Emirates Lounge [Now open approx. 11am-2pm,5pm-9pm]

    I had the exact same experience last year - being yelled at to 'go to Qantas' and the woman walked with me out of the reception area to make sure I left. I didnt bother trying again - felt really embarassed. At least the staff at the QF lounge are friendly.
