I guess as someone who always flies ex-CBR with just cabin baggage I probably miss out on those other non-airside benefits of the F cabin.

When flying CBR-SYD-xx_ where the outbound SYD flight is QF First I always get a call the day prior to travel from the First host in Sydney asking if I need any assistance finding the transfer bus or the F lounge. I've never said yes as I don't need someone to hold my hand on the bus - I suspect...

This thread prompted me to check my booking details - it's the first time I've needed to use the Chauffeur Drive service. I'm in the middle of an ACIR22 trip with a final SYD-BNE leg. I had booked a Chauffeur Drive service from BNE to the city - all locked in and confirmed - about a week prior...

I flew SYD-HKG in QF First a few days ago - I was up working during the flight and on a couple of occasions I was startled by the sound of a baby crying. Funnily enough the baby was in the front section of Y and the sound travelled through the aircraft rather than respecting the acoustic border...

Re: F seating on Qantas A380 The food itself is probably of similar quality, but the main difference is the presentation and service. I can't relate specifically to the A380 as I've not experienced J on the A380, but assuming it's similar to 747 J the food service is still cart based -...

I actually prefer 5K for that reason - the proximity to the galley means the FAs can always see when your wine glass is empty and take appropriate immediate action... If I'm up working during the flight I'm happy to be able to pop back to the galley area to stretch my legs and chat to the FAs...

Just to add - the front desk staffer at the CBR J lounge rechecked our passport details as we entered the lounge. The other issue I'd forgotten was that she also have us our outbound immigration cards and express passes, both of which obviously can only be obtained at the airport.

Provided you've entered your APIS information you can check in online and print your boarding passes for international flights* without needing to see a counter agent. Your passport will be checked against your boarding pass at customs and most likely again at the gate. *I've done this for...

And the next day after saying that, Westpac manage to send their banking system offline for more than 12 hours. No payments in or out, no payroll processing, no account access online or on the phone. Nothing. For 10 hours their response was "we will tell you when it is fixed" and "no we don't...

Personally I'd pay the required fee and select your own seats so you're all seated together. I can only remember 3 occasions where I've flown internationally without having selected a seat prior to checkin: 1. As an 11yr old flying with my parents and 9yr old sister, HNL-SYD on Continental...

I'm sure I've chimed in before on this one but I'll put another vote in for 5K which I always preselect at the time of buying the ticket. I've done 5A (with baby in tow) and found myself being disturbed by the FAs accessing the closet adjacent to that seat. I prefer the back of the cabin as I...

I assume that this only extends to the CL themselves and not the other pax travelling on their booking? That would explain how I ended up in my (preselected) 1C on a MEL-CBR flight sitting next to then-minister Simon Crean in 1A, who was quite annoyed to find a random stranger as his seat mate...

Yes, I've been finding Westpac's service and offerings on the decline lately. My company has been banking with them for 36 years and all of our personal banking is with them also. In the last few months our 'relationship manager' left and we haven't been given a replacement yet. They've...

Just to revive a dead thread - it seems there is another current promotion to join QFF for free. The link that came in the email today is: https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/do/dyns/joinffp?code=REDEMAIL&rmid=18JUN13_FF_FOC_Join I wonder if the IT team that sends out these 'targeted' emails...

Completely agree with this, especially arriving into SYD on a Sunday on QF12 and wanting the connection down to CBR. There is a 737 service SYD-CBR on Sunday mornings that departs *just* inside the minimum connection time from QF12; as such QF won't let me book but I know if QF12 arrives on...

I have been allocated both 5A and 5K as bassinet seats when our daughter was younger, but only ever used the bassinet at 5A so can't remember exactly if it was there in 5K also. Have a couple of flights in 5K in a few weeks time, will double check.

Not sure of J, but the basinets in F are 5A and 5K - they are cutouts in the back wall behind the seat.

I remember signing my daughter up within a few hours of her birth, when mum & bub were having a nap. She got sick of being a lap-child not long after her 1st birthday so she started earning points and SCs pretty early - she should make LTG before she finishes high school.

Red Roo - seeing as you're tracking this thread, I have a simple 'Life after LTG' request. Can you get your IT team to adjust the QFF website so that we can still see our lifetime status credits once we reach 14,000? QF might not have any further (published) tiers after LTG but I don't see why...
