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.

SYD-LHR return. I only qualified P1 for the first time this year also, I got the 2025 gift.

Champagne was a well appreciated Christmas gift, though interestingly I know a first-time P1 who received last years 150th Anniversary champers as their 2025 gift. Fairly positive start to the year - had 2x F reward flights on QF1/2 opened up in March thanks to manual P1 request. First flight...

According to my QF summary email, 120,340km on QF is in the top 1% of fliers, and 1.9M points is in the top 1% of earners.

Total flight distance: 149,458km Number of flights: 47 (7 Y, 28 J, 12 F) Total airports: 17 New countries: Indonesia, Fiji, Tuvalu New airports: DPS, NAN, SUV, FLR, FCO, FUN Number of airlines: 7 New airlines: ITA, Fiji Airways Shortest flight: SUV-NAN (122km) Longest flight: CDG-PER (14,270km)...

I'm 100% in the 'book the night before' camp too. Yes it costs a bit extra but especially for London arrivals which are often pre-7am, having a room ready as soon as you arrive at the hotel is more than worth it. As others have noted, just make sure you let the hotel know you're arriving early...

For pure over-the-top-ness, the presidential suite at THE Hotel in Vegas (now W Las Vegas) was extraordinary. Having dinner cooked for you in your kitchen while someone plays your grand piano in the corner as you look out upon the Vegas strip was pretty much the ultimate in Hollywood-Vegas...

I get the same every time I'm on QF1/2, from about a week out it'll switch between those two aircraft types. I assume that one of the A380s has been listed slightly differently to the others and as the assigned aircraft changes operationally it triggers the seemingly pointless alert.
