Sorry, should have been clearer... the status run was for HER status, not mine...! :)

In the true spirit of AFF, is it acceptable to take your 2yr old on a JASA status run? :) To answer your question - our daughter has flown internationally to meet family who aren't able to travel themselves, to go on holidays with her cousin who lives in the UK and so I could bring my family...

Always a polarising topic when it comes up. My take is that if you pay for a seat in F, you're entitled to sit there. This applies no matter how you paid (cash, points, op-up etc) or who you are (infant, toddler, teenager, adult, pensioner). Yes, a crying baby or poorly behaved child can be...

Personally I find that notion quite disgusting. The more appropriate breakfast beverage in the F Lounge is the Veuve. :) The staff don't even bat an eyelet when asked to open a bottle at 5:30am before an early flight to NZ.

Have been on both sides of the fence - more than happy to see infants / children / anyone else in the premium cabins. My daughter took her first RTW trip in First at 6 months, and has flown J and F internationally a few times since then. Haven't had any problems from her, other pax or FAs on...

Thanks. In my particular case it's not an issue as my daughter flies enough to maintain SG, but certainly good advice incase that changes in the future.

Thanks - wasn't sure if 'activity' (granting of a lower status) would be enough in that hypothetical case.

In my case it's because I intend to let my daughter save up 'her' points over the next 15 years and, assuming the QFF program is still going when she turns 18, she'll have a decent points balance to do some post-school travel at relatively low cost. I am fully aware of the need to keep her...

To add to the data set: Current status: Platinum Lifetime Status Credits: 14,000+ (QF stop showing it after LTG is reached, and I don't keep track myself) Years with the QFF program: 14 Operational Upgrades: 1* *Just to show you how random op-ups can be, the only time I've ever been upgraded...

I reached LTG last year, and made the decision to maintain my WP status each year on the basis that it's far easier to redeem points for classic award flights as a WP than as SG. If that changes I'll have to reconsider whether I stick with QF / oneworld as other than points redemption there's...

Fly CX more often :) Last CX flight I took had caviar & Krug as appetiser, lobster as entree, venison as main. Can't remember dessert - was probably too full for it after all that.

I have a spare horse head for you (:)), and I'll disagree that status belongs only to those who take multiple flights in Y to earn it, especially as I'm one of those people who earn it the opposite way. QFF is about rewarding loyalty and, given QF is a corporate entity, the capitalist society...

I've met a few AFF members at previous WWDC conferences over the last few years - just wondering if anyone is going again this year? Hopefully someone else was lucky enough to buy a ticket in the 120 seconds they were available before selling out... :o I'll be on QF11 on Sunday 9 June (should...

Thanks for that - I didn't realise that the charter guys could organise it directly as part of their ground services. Until the article on these celebs I didn't think anyone outside government or military could use the 'international' part of the airport - very interested to have learned otherwise.

I assume this facility operates out of the RAAF side of the airport, not the commercial terminal?If anyone can make use of the customs facility to leave the country on a private flight I think I'll have to look into this further next time we want to fly to NZ.

Does anyone know what customs arrangements are being made for this flight? Are they paying to set up a customs departure point at CBR or is the 747 tracking via another non-curfew airport with those facilities (which doesn't make sense as surely they'd just fly directly to that airport from...

Mickie63, Sorry for not seeing your post sooner - haven't been flying the last few months so my AFFing has reduced too. I didn't need to provide a US utility bill when activating my card - I just sent a copy of my Australian driver's licence and that's all they needed. Did you sign up with...

Haven't been around here for a little while but was just about to post the same thread. I'll be there on Monday - would be happy to catch up before or after.

I normally just move money from my US business PayPal account to the personal account linked to the prepaid card, so both sides of the transfers are in USD. If you transfer from an Australian account to a US account you can send money denominated in USD but you will pay PayPal's exchange rates...

It is linked to my US based PayPal account. I had issues at first trying to transfer money from my PayPal account to the PayPal Prepaid card - the money kept bouncing back. It turns out that my US PayPal account had a business name associated with it (I used it for business transactions in the...
