I was on paid Y+ two weeks ago and had asked for a points upgrade to J. There was 11 unallocated seats showing on EF consistently, and as a WP I was hopeful for success. Success did arrive 24 hours out, but I was confused given the amount of spots shown as open. Both J and Y+ were full for...

I was HNL-SYD last week on one too - i think that's fairly regular.

Update - so I rang the call centre as suggested by their on line chatbot. The call centre said send an email, so I did. Despite having enough planning stays in the next 6 weeks to keep me at Gold, they will drop me to Silver: "Hilton Honors reviews all Members' tier statuses March 31. We...

I have chatted with the bot/chat room online and they have confirmed I will drop to Silver on 1 April. I understand that they are following their T&Cs, no problems. But I was only 4 stays short in 2018 after 2-3 years of loyal custom, and on track for Gold again this year - so was hoping for an...

Hi all, I just received an email from the Honors program that as of 1 April I will downgraded from Gold to Silver. I am confused - I have previously (thought I) had a 1 January review. I was just short in # stays / nights to achieve Gold through 2018, but the system said that 2018 nights...

Yep - Ive watched hoping LAX-BNE legs bring me a J upgrade, only to overhear QF Staff stating with joy they received an op-up.

My upgrade fairy continues to deliver. Points upgrade bid for and received BNE-MEL this evening, and an operational upgrade T-2 for TSV-BNE on the leg prior.

I've found the loads on the earlier flight to be lower than the later flight - might be as the later one is a connection from from New York. Im looking at some travel to US in April and there are better fares/availability on QF56 vs QF16. QF56 also (is supposed to) arrive around 445-5 am...

The upgrade fairy was in my favour on a recent BNE to US trip. QF55 BNE-LAX on 16 Jan Y+ to J confirmed 72 hours in advance, and on return QF56 LAX-BNE on 25 Jan Y+ to J 24 hours in advance. And on one leg Omaha - LAX on AA I got an Op Upgrade Y to J as well. Wish it was like that more often :)

And now its working again !!

I'm having troubles logging to the Qantas website from my computer - I've tried a couple of browsers to no avail. I was able to access via iPhone app to do Seat Selection - but when I try to "log in" via the app it wouldn't let me through. Its T-25 to my flight to US and I'd like to do a meal...

"WORKERS will walk off the job at Australia’s five main airports to protest pay and working conditions today, with flight disruptions and delays expected." If you’re travelling interstate today, prepare for delays

I was on QF16 on Friday night (which turned out to be 0220 Saturday departure) - the QF12 from JFK was delayed significantly, and in my observation has been on many occasions. I wouldn't bank on time for a shower

And I get this yesterday after trying to pre-select a meal: "Currently, we're experiencing ongoing issues with our Menu Select, Chauffeur Drive and Dubai Connect bookings. Passengers are currently unable to select their meal in advance with our Menu Select option and we're working hard to...

That should be plenty of time to make the connection. Sorry I can't help on the golf cart.

A supplementary question on this - within 24 hours of a booked Red E Deal flight, do you cancel or just no show ? I assume it is good form to release a seat for someone else (especially if you’ve nabbed Row 4), and if you No Show you don’t points/status credits ?

I got 5000 points for a pre-ordered meal not being available. I suggest non-operational IFE is worth 20-30K in relative terms (if not more !).

Yes, alas me too.

I’m about 1,000 SC away from LTG, but currently flying enough to just keep WP. I’ll hit LTG this year some time, and then possibly switch to Virgin. This will work better long term with family also flying, I’ll get into their WP program and be able to select a seat with leg room more than 80...

Well, I took in two bottles with me, declared them on my form, but didn’t get asked about them - so sailed through customs :)
