I observed this pattern on my two most recent QF flights. Arriving on QF102 from NAN at a relatively quiet time in SYD - 6:30pm, 15 or 20 bags arrived within minutes of the first pax getting to the belt. There was I’d say a random distribution of priority vs non priority tags. The remainder...

26 Dec SYD-NAN. Breakfast flight due to 8:30 departure so it was eggs or eggs (unfortunately). I picked the Frittata. Plus-one picked the scrambled eggs, bacon and potato. Both were fine but nothing to write home about. I would have been good to have a non-eggy option! Service was pleasant and...

“With curtain” is an intriguing tease and would be a step above QF, even if just a sheer fabric

This is interesting to note. 151k points earned just tips you into Points Club territory meaning that they must have pegged it at 150k to be for the top 5%. PC+ is somewhere between 1% and 5% based on the patterns reported in this thread. Top 5% according to my email for 207k earned and 622k...

Yes! The points came before the postie did. Happy days.

My flight yesterday, like most, mentioned the two lavs at the back for rows 3-31 and no mention of the front one. QF do the same. Perhaps the logic is that by not mentioning the fact there’s one at the front, all the schumcks will be none the wiser it’s there :shrugs

The Australian based team at the escalation email are usually pretty good, though not necessarily quick nor responsive. As hard as it is to be patient, my inclination would be to let them try and resolve it rather than futile calls to offshore agents who might bugger things up even more.

I just made my first ever Qantas wine purchase because I needed 35,000 points by the end of this month in case a classic upgrade clears on some up coming flights just after Xmas. (Points balance zeroed out thanks to recent J redemptions on WY!) Premium reds case for $719 (minus $50 PC voucher)...

I was definitely able to select seats on the WY website for my bookings once I found my Oman PNR on MH. Seat selection is a bit hidden though. Under Passenger Details is a dropdown for "Extras" which opens a more interactive MMB page, including seat selection option. This is for J though...

I have used the QF feedback form a couple of times for compliments for exceptionally good crew. The response has always seemed a bit automated and formulaic, so it's good to hear that compliments do actually work their way through the system to the staff member and their boss. One of my more...

Terrific TR! Well written and excellent level of detail. Thanks for taking the time. I know from experience, it's not a trivial undertaking. Some of the airlines, lounges and sectors reminded me of my own "once in a lifetime" RTW folly last year. Sadly JL F didn't feature in mine so it might...

Thanks for sharing this trip RB. It was a really enjoyable read and some terrific photos. Leh (and surrounds) has been on my bucket list for a long time. In part because of the Himalayan scenery, in part for the intersection of cultures and in part as an avid fan of Salman Rushdie's novels, a...

I second Seat0B's endorsement of Kanazawa. Despite having lived in Japan earlier this century, I visited Kanazawa for the first time earlier this year. The cherry blossoms were out which added to the appeal of the city. The seafood and produce market is terrific (Omicho). The castle grounds have...

I found my WY PNR via MH. Though I just tried to pull it up again and discovered a quirk: it doesn't appear on the desktop site but is there on the mobile site. So try plugging your reservation details into MH on your phone and you should see the WY/Sabre PNR.

I emailed the escalation team and got a response about two days later to say that because the MNL office had to ticket these flights, they required an extra PHP1620 (~$40) in taxes apparently. I was told if I elect to pay in AUD instead that extra tax wouldn’t apply. Weird. So like vmile’s...

Nope. No e ticket # yet on RJ, MH or WY. I’m curious to see how long it takes QF and whether WY has a short ticketing window like some partners or is more lenient. I’ll lean on the escalations inbox in a few days if need be

Yep. Entered APIS soon after booking. And was able to retrieve WY PNR via entering the QF one into MH MMB (acronym overload!!). So there is a reservation in Oman’s system which is useful for keeping an eye on to see if it drops due to ticketing delays. Maybe QF warned them as a new partner...

Has anyone booked WY classic rewards and had it ticketed? I made bookings approximately 24h ago and no sign of tickets yet, though the bookings have held so far. In contrast, I booked one of our WY legs with AC points and the ticket (014 stock) was in my inbox immediately. Sigh. Why is QF...

I suspect so!! Compounded by a regular return search only showing Y by default

False alarm. It was the QF website being temperamental. Multi city searches weren't showing the flights I saw the other day. However, plugging return dates into the front page booking engine still brings up results, but on the results page there's a new (to me anyway) drop down menu which...
