For NZ based P1s seems to have been bubbles or nothing. I got bubbles but know others who got nothing. I earned 11k SCs during 2022 (should have been more but cancelled trips due to getting covid). The others I know earnt much less. And no Christmas vouchers either. On a positive note the gent...

exactly :p

I've flown all airlines A380 except NH and HiFly. Most of these in F some in C. I've flown well over 200 A380 flights & 1 million flown miles (for me the third most flown a/c type by distance behind 747 and 777).

It will depend on when you select seats. Initially restricted options due to weight and balance, and more seats open up as flight gets fuller.

This was before P1 existed but some of us got a joyride in qf a380 prior to commercial launch. I was on the secret top tier at the time and got F.

Close. It was a joint AC/SK lounge. Used it many times.

Syd f lounge has 3 work desks by the entrance to bathrooms and showers. There are also 3(?) suites. At times both are difficult to get - strictly first come first served. Used to be able to book the suites in advance but not since covid.

During cyclone Gabrielle disruptions at AKL there were lengthy return to origin flights by EK, SQ & LA.

By returning to AKL just two flights disrupted. If they had diverted somewhere else it would have impacted multiple more flights over several days due to a/c and crew out of place. I expect pax would have been reaccommodated on subsequent direct flights as well as indirect via LAX, SFO, YVR...

It was due to days of cancelled flights for cyclone Gabrielle.

Yes. Just Concorde Room that requires F.

T5 has conformance at security - this is the time you must join the security queue by or you will be directed to transfers desk to rebook. I'm not sure exactly how long before departure this is, but given QF's atrocious OTP for QF1 personally I would be booking the later flight.

Final tally was 1000 flights cancelled (829 Air nz alone).

At least you are getting invites. Some of us don't get them.

Air NZ cancelled all AKL domestic flights from 4pm. So getting up towards 700 cancelled flights for the storm just for Air NZ.

When I had to rebook in December due to covid there was no change fee and a modest fare difference.

A further 100 cancelled Air NZ flights (600 total so far).

Not just rain, high winds too. Hauraki Gulf 160 kmh last night. Central pressure about 967hPa. Several towns completely isolated and without power, phone or internet.

At AKL alone approx 400 flights cancelled yesterday. Air NZ reports over 500 cancelled flights. Rain has eased in Auckland but still windy. Air NZ due to resume AKL flights from midday today (but probably not all routes as still rough weather in eastern North Island and upper south island)...

Don't get too excited. LH has lots of lounges but some you won't have access to unless flying F or have HON status, some inaccessible due to wrong side of schengen/non-schengen. AC lounge is quite good (or was pre-covid as I haven't been back since).
