Anecdotally (I assigned a Gold Accelerator to one of my employees before an existing international trip), yes you need to make new bookings. Her flights booked before assigning Gold Accelerator did not count for the program. She had to make new bookings and fly those within the program period...

Thanks - I tried that but on the flight I was looking at (QF11 on 19/4) it shows no cabins on the upper deck and all 4 on the main deck. Could be a variant thing, your screenshot shows A380-842 and mine just A380-800.

Looks good, but they still have some issues to iron out with some aircraft - for example the QF A380 which shows all seats on the main deck (in row order) and nothing upstairs. Makes for a veeeeeeeery long aircraft!

I see this in my staff (many of whom are in their 20s and early 30s) when we organise travel for work. We booked a trip to the US for one person during a DSC promotion and they opted for double points rather than status credits. The logic was simple - with one return flight to the US in...

I've had the offer of an escort from the plane to the lounge and back to the plane at boarding time every time I've been through SIN as a P1 in F. The one time in recent months when I stayed overnight in SIN I also had the offer of an escort from the F check-in to the lounge. Prior to that, as...

Interesting, I got: Flying data QFF program changes Aesop soaps Burger & Bolly Brisbane J lounge US Passport Control app (and thanks for the competition link)

Where did you see this competition listed? I got a "Platinum One Briefing" email this morning, is has no mention of either the Sullivans Cove bar or the Adelaide competition. It talks about how I can order a Neil Perry Burger on demand in First from 1 April or use the Aesop soaps in the...

With QF209 now arriving 5 minutes before QF1 from Sydney there's going to be a whole lot more people trying to cram into the F and J lounges in SIN every evening!

I'm on QF1 F on Saturday with my wife and one of our kids, seat selection has gone from fairly wide open to zero availability. EF showing 0s across the board as others have advised. I'm expecting a very full flight. I was also booked on EK F next month MEL-DXB-LHR, had to call Qantas this...

Taxes for my CBR-SYD-LAX return in F (booked this week) were $1183. CBR-SYD in Y on the Dash8. It's been a while since I redeemed on that route so not sure if it's changed recently.

Agreed, providing WP and P1 members with the ability to more easily use their hard-earned points for award flights is one of the key benefits in my mind. I saved ~$25K this week by being able to request points flights inventory be opened up so I could spend the points I'd earned through...

I've had Sequence 1 before, usually on the final domestic leg when checking in on a string of international flights back home. In that scenario I'm being checked in on the domestic flight before it technically opens for normal checkin at T+24. JFK-LAX-SYD-CBR usually does the trick if there's...

Today I received an invite to a dinner with the CEO of Qantas Loyalty in Canberra in March. I presume other CBR-based P1s got the same. Unfortunately I'll be in the UK that week, so I'm 0/3 in terms of invitations that I haven't been able to attend. I'm disappointed about this one as it would...

Requested 1x F seat on either QF11/12 or QF7/8 on specific dates during the April school holidays. Fallback request for a J seat on QF15/16. All A380s were at most A5, the 787 was I9. All 6 options were approved in the first round (no manual review needed).

And looks like I'm going to be a late withdrawal too sorry, thought I was heading to London on Saturday 7th but looks like it'll be Wednesday 4th instead. My apologies, was looking forward to meeting some CBR folks.

I had drinks and canapés at the Sofitel in Brisbane last week. coughtail list was very limited, the elderflower spritz was nice enough but nothing special. Canapés were brought around - a very bland sausage roll, a "duck wellington" that was basically pastry and hoisin sauce, and a very small...

Thanks, I should have added that they're flying back through Sydney not Brisbane, so no opportunity to store at BNE and collect on the way back. Thanks, will check this out, though it looks like we need to collect from the airport in Canberra rather than door-to-door delivery.

My wife and daughter are spending a week in Brisbane next month for which they'll have a suitcase of specialist equipment & clothing. They're then flying onto the UK for a week and don't need that suitcase for the overseas part of the trip. It would be great to be able to ship the unneeded...

I'm Canberra based, and haven't caught up with any AFFers in real life since the original Qantas P1 preview lunch at Rockpool (!), so it would be good to put some faces to names. I'm around for the 5th if that ends up being the winner.

Sorry, the Les Clos 2017. Didn't realise there were different ones sent out.
