Boost is on the full Telstra network and offers low volume long expiry (12month) prepaid options.

You must mean WP - "World Pizza".

I don't get the affectation. As "World Platinum" isn't a QF status you may be waiting a long time.

Talking cross purposes here. QF and EK have a partnership. You can look at QF website for reward flights on EK. Ultimately you end up spending QF points but have an EK flight number in your booking which is pretty immaterial.

Yes. I just bought the $35 for 50GB to test it because last time I tried the Telstra network it turned out Optus had better coverage /network speed on offer in this area. Telstra had a seriously rate limited 4G offering compared to Optus at that time.

No idea. Bought a $35 prepaid plan.

They currently say "parts of the Telstra network" to paraphrase - AFAIK Boost is the only virtual operator with access to the full Telstra network/coverage at the moment. My 24 hour old Boost service certainly has 5G connectivity.

Well I did actually have to recharge it once I'd bought it 😉 but that spoils the story. I'm switching to Boost but Mrs D will keep her Optus (prepaid) service (so we have that diversity). But Mrs D. now has an activated Boost Sim with no recharge on it as well, and if the time comes to use it...

Inside the taxi boundary according to the melways of 20 years ago and inside lockdown metro suburbs. Don't deny Optus don't provide the best service in the area. When the lights went out yesterday I went and bought a $2 Boost Sim and now have access to full Telstra network with 5G (Optus...

Again, not true. You were speaking in definitives in your earlier post. There is a swathe of peri-urban NE Melbourne that has been assigned satellite, and Hyperwave is doing nicely out of that decision.

Oh yes there is. Melbourne fringe that's been moved onto NBN satellite still has copper phone lines for starters.

My suspicion is LTG doesn't really cost Qantas much - the odd lounge access and a few extra FF points. Those LTGs travelling in the premium cabins are still paying their way.

Exactly - so next Friday the same (red e-deal) bundle of rights from Melbourne to Sydney costs between $155 (05:45) and $553 (13:00). QFs current defence seems to be that that is indeed the case as departure time isn't one of the things you are buying so how can you have missed the flight time...

But an ordinary and reasonable customer expects that when they select a specific flight that QF has differentiated price on by no other means than the departure time, that a reasonable airline would have as a priority to get the customer on that flight. Once upon a time they offered more...

Surely in the context of contractual fairness I should therefore be able to buy the cheapest flight at the most obscure time and then turn up to fly when I actually want to?

They wouldn't have let you into the J lounge to queue jump.

But he didn't go to the front of the queue, he went to the side 🥺

No amount of showering would have the desired effect on this one.

But you are not. Perhaps you were a J class guest using a WP perk to access the First Class lounge. That's where the perk ends. I'm beginning to understand why QF dropped the word Class from its cabin names

Putting the W back in to WP.
