Unsure. The F flight was a Platinum request and then I added the HBA to it, at the same time. So, in my eyes it is one fluid booking. It was at the end of my Plat year and I was requalifying. I did notice my calls never went to Hobart as they did prior. Who knows what bs I was given...

Had I know it was going to be this hard, yes. There will not be a next time.

Actually no I did not. I think readers are missing the point here; When we booked this flight the only flight available was JQ as it was on a Sunday and QF did not fly Sundays out of HBA. It was either take a flight the day prior, which would have meant additional cost and effort to get that...

Checked luggage. Now this is where this whole Nostar to QF deal sux. JQ have given us 50Kg as checked allowance. This equates to a Bronze or no-one travelling in First. I am Gold, missus is on the cusp of Gold so we ought to have 62 and 66 Kegs respectively. Again, this is a ridiculous situation...

Running update; NoStar check in lady agreed the carryon was silly. Having checked allowance match QF but JQ carry on rules causes a lot of issues (dare I say yelling at staff) she informed me. Please complain she said, they may change. It's Qantas I said, they don't care. She said yes thats...

Consult one of our Sommeliers in the Lounge, about which fine Australian award-winning wines and champagne you’d like to match your meal. I may be a bogan from the south side of the tracks but I know how to ask for nice stuff. I know what the junk is they give a Plat so I will be critical of...

It will end fine. I am all charm and BS when required. I will work the system - see previous post- and I will eat and drink QF1 empty as revenge. My expectations have been tampered and as I've said, anything above J service will be great.

so our final plan is to load up the checked bags as we can do 32kg each, pull them down (lets be nasty and do it in the little First waiting area) and resume normal operations with the camera bag and roll on as hand luggage for QF. But all it has done is cause and extremely stressed out wife...

I don't recall the call but I think this was the best option at the time. I think it was only once the A220 arrived that QF did Sunday, but I might be mistaken. +1 does not like flying so I probably avoided connections and sat with direct. We've just spent an additional 2 hours re-packing so...

I am possibly overthinking it but I saw that JQ were weighing bags in Mel last time we went there a few weeks back. I just do not want to be caught with 2 bags and be forced to pay their fee's. Does it happen in HBA? I don't want to be the one to find out.

Qantas placed us on this flight. We did not request it. I am not asking for an F experience from HBA. I want nothing to do with JQ. I do want QF to say 'hey bad luck, we had to stick onto Jetstar but that's cool, you'll still enjoy the luggage and carry benefits as if you were on QF'. Complete...

Thank you Fiona. A voice of sensibility. What you suggest is all I asked for; take us off the restriction that is Jetstar and put us on a QF flight. Were I in charge of F this is exactly what I would do. By placing us on QF it means; We have a seamless transition through Sydney Carry on issues...

Yes I was just checking that. If that is the case, and it appears we have to collect, then I will put everything in the checked bag currently sitting at 23Kg and then pull it all out before we check in.

The yelling was a joke. I stated that earlier. In fact I am going to delete that line. And I restate - I know what QF is like, I am aware of their service so nothing that happens will make me upset. However, if as people say it will be fantastic then that's great. But today I expect Business...

No. I am simply a person who gives excellent service and in turn expect it. The flight experience may be the best out there but the lead up is poor. But I realise I am being a Karen in expecting a level of service that is somewhat above and beyond.

As soon as I found out QF were flying Sundays I tried to get the booking changed. What rankles me is when I booked it I was WP and this was a request reward flight (QF1). But after I dropped back to Gold there was no way in the world QF would even entertain any changes. They wouldn't even look...

I fully intend to take everything and more on offer. I'll have 2 of everything.

That is fast becoming our reality.

Folks - 'yelling' was a tongue in cheek comment. As for the JQ carry on issue - this is all booked on one ticket as QF didn't fly on Sundays. I did not choose to fly JQ , Qantas only gave me this option - like why in the world would I pay QF first rewards points to fly Jetstar! I'll see what...

That is the one saving grace. More Squid and Champers.
