    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    That would be great, but first of all it should be listed on the menu and it is also not my experience flying QF 12 earlier this year where the crew member strongly behaved as "doing me a favour" by organising a warm snack from J (and of course no item from the F menu was available) for me...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Thanks for sharing and it continues to amaze me that in J you get warm mid-flight snacks while in F all you can get is some potato chips or chocolate bars between meals on this route. And its not like QF is offering anytime dining in F either...

    Qantas First Class menus

    But don’t you think that nevertheless there should be a First Class-worthy drinks list being available for those that can / want to drink during their flight?

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I might be wrong, but I have a strong hunch that US flights will be easier to get in future as I think the Presidential election outcome will put a small damper on demand - and keep in mind, given the massive volume of available seats AUS-USA, even a small percentage drop in demand can lead to...

    Good deal with Qantas My Card Offers - 5,000 bonus points for spending $250 with Qantas Hotels

    My recent experience is the that My Card Offers are very often a fail and that noone wants to be responsible for those bonus points promotions. I recently successfully forced through bonus points from a different My Card Offers for an online shopping promotion (after providing all neccessary...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Of course we don't know yet if R+ is coming, but following this discussion I think it is highly likely. It's not that QF is flying with lots of empty J cabins internationally and therefore it was probably not really realistic that they would significantly increase J rewards simply at something...

    No espresso martinis in the Qantas First Lounge?

    I also find the non-availability of coughtails disappointing and I have come to the realisation that it is strictly penny-pinching from Qantas (like all the other changes to the First Class Lounge over the years, from the champagne and wine downgrade, to not offer the self-service buffets...

    F seats sold as J A380

    Having flown the route recently in the F seats in both directions, I can say that the bedding you get will be J, not F

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    If this in regards to the Norfolk Island flight you mention earlier, no tax invoice will be issued for the ticket as Norfolk Island flights, despite the island belonging to Australia, are treated as international flights and therefore there is no GST and no tax invoice. My understanding is that...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    In my view the Conrad Centennial Singapore is the best Hilton choice in Singapore unless you plan on shopping at Orchard Road (which I never do as I think it is not different than in Australia). The Conrad Centennial Singapore is the "old Conrad" in town and also not as flashy as the Hilton, but...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Absolutely, this would be a real improvement. As WP and above then you get a choice of either waiting for this or taking the callentre lottery - I am pretty sure I would always go for the callback from Hobart wait :) 1702960822 I find it remarable that QF thinks that it does not need to look...

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    The FJ lounge in Nadi is okay, but nothing to be too excited about. It has zero views and often gets pretty full because there are so many ways you can get access, including Priority Pass if I remember correctly. The food is overall a good buffet, drinks are on the cheap side. So overall I think...

    Qantas First Class menus

    While there are nice things about QF F such as the very comfortable bed, the "little things" you mention really make a difference and make the whole product look like cost-costing. Two other small things are that the chamapgne is luck-of-the-dice and that the menues are not available beforehand...

    Qantas First Class menus

    It is indeed possible to ask the FA if any dish is available - however I really think this should not be neccessary when flying in F. A generous menu that does not let you go hungry and offers a substantial snack available between the meals and clearly lists this as an option in the menu should...

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    I am WP, but even as a "premium customer" the service is unnecessarily hard. Recently I had to call four time for something that should have been resolved easily in the first call. So I think Qantas management, which is ultimately responsible for all the call centre operations no matter if the...

    Qantas app refresh (new look)

    I think the whole purpose of the new app version is increased marketing (selling of all Qantas services) given the "Book and explore" section on the front screen instead of first showing upcomging flight details like in the old app version. It is a terrible app and I will use it as little as...

    Refurbished Auckland lounge

    The new lounge will be a "combined" J and F lounge - so in reality a single large J lounge like in Hong Kong. This is why I am personally not at all a fan of this development - this will be another location without a F lounge and therefore a devaluation of the Platinum benefits.

    CX cancelled award U tickets issued by QF, 12h from takeoff (weather IRROPS)

    As far as I am aware Qantas has removed all airport ticketing desks, including at SYD International. The only way to contact Qantas is really by phone (the best option in this difficult situation), via their online contact form and the social media channels.
