Alan Joyce has announced he is leaving QF 2 months early. This FF is hoping things improve. Massively.

Just did this very change. AA call centre had no idea how to do it; tells me he had tried 3 times and no luck. Meanwhile RJ.com didn't pick up the reservation. BA didn't see it either. Using this fantastic font of knowledge I insisted my man check how it was done. 3 minutes later he had it...

Yes, status does give you better choices. Although, anyone paying rack rate for a J seat should not have to do the DYKWIA game.

I'm an early drinker, and I'll just wander up to the galley to grab a beer. Like milli seconds after the seatbelt sign is off. Never been given half a can, and I'd be coughing loudly if they tried. CSM greeting is 50% for me Normally get the meal I want, but last LAX-SYD service both me and...

Haven't yet read all posts to see if the code has been cracked, but as WP with 57,694Km flown I got 75/5,000. Dunno how many flights but it must have been close to 20. My wife who is Bronze got no km travelled in her email and 30/1,000. Interesting, as we paid for a J flight LAX/SYD and a J...

We were on a cruise last year on Ponant, doing the North West Passage. If cost is not an issue you could research them (and if you are referred by an existing pax there are discounts to be had). The charter flight on this cruise had a technical issue, meaning it couldn't leave Italy for Paris. 9...

At 20 I moved country At 30 I got my motorbike licence and jumped on a GSX-R 750 for a first bike At 40 I decided to build the same hoon car I had when I was 17. Just better and I didn't break it At 45 I found AFFF and Business class with points so have our 5th RTW trip planned for next year. At...

QF man at Hobart last Tuesday ignored the PB announcement as it was being made and just let everyone through. Wasn't even the PB lane. All the DYKWIA in the PB lane musta been annoyed.

I asked and was given economy seats DFW-CLT on AA as an award seat by the phone person. Nothing better was available then or today.

Shanghai is what I meant. That would be some forum post, arriving at Puerto Deseado and expecting a connection to Helsinki in 2 hours time. But maybe CPT could achieve the booking. 1687843621 Dear Mr McKay, Thank you for contacting the Qantas Frequent Flyer Service Centre. We appreciate the...

Part 2. Need to arrange a OWE for my sister. Researched, found basically the same flights as us (3 days later). First call - CPT. Lady was a struggle - requested 3 different in and outbound options, didn't know how to check them and told me they were on request. So I tell her I have 3...

Yes, that has been my plan and thank you for the link.

My approach to this, as it is basically impossible to get out of the country in J; Start looking at dates you want to fly +/- 3-4 days Take note of days with J class Then try to match connecting flights Look at multiple ports; HKG, SIN, HND Plan on a couple of hours work on this. One thing...

I totally agree with @MEL_Traveller & @ronlon. But, even when getting HBA I have been given the cold shoulder if it gets too hard. I posted this as I was in a bit of disbelief that this lady tried so hard to find my J seats for 2. She knew the system and how to work it, including telling me the...

Executive summary - 2 hour call but secured a J OWE itinerary. I don't think it appropriate to use her name, but last Thursday a lovely lady from Hobart spent 2 hours on the phone with me finding rewards flights SYD-AMS then LHR-SYD in May & June 2024. She used her 30 years experience to check...

Yes you can. I booked 2 legs on a OWE a few weeks back to secure the seats and then Thursday added in an additional 4 flights to make it a OWE for 318,000. There is a change fee of 5,000 per person, per change so you should do it once only to reduce this. I don't know about a RTW, I have only...

QF144 AKL-SYD 14/6 Being a 737 there was no recognition of status. PBD sparkling wine and water. Crew were business-like, no more. Meal on offer was choice of roast Chicken and quinoa salad, carrot soup or spinach and ricotta pasta. Went the pasta Which was ordinary. Salad was salmon with...

And here I was thinking I'd be in the new fantastic lounge today. I must learn to read all the story, not just the headline :(

They may have moved some hangers in the cupboard but I cannot see any evidence of building work here at all.

Thought I’d kick off this thread, as I am sitting in the Auckland lounge at 10.30am on Tuesday 14 June, the day of the first QF3 flight. What‘s the big changes? Nothing I can see in the First cupboard. And siyuation normal in the main lounge, except for some talking up promotion on the...
