What's the process for getting your passports linked? I asked at check in recently and was met with blank looks (and similarly asked Border Force when I went through the smart gates and got blank looks). I constantly run into issues on arrival at destinations where I have visa's in my UK...

Can you specify which years you want to pay for? My understanding is that you pay a lump sum into the HMRC bank account and then they allocate it - but I can't see anything that tells me how they do this (ie will they allocate to Class 2 years first or Class 3)? My wife is in a similar situation...

Thanks - I was more thinking about whether I will actually need cash, rather than how much it will cost in fees to get that cash

Does anyone have recent experience in Turkey - will I need cash in Istanbul (particularly for a taxi from the airport on arrival)

Hi, looking for some experience with making the actual payments for your Class 2 NICs. I've received the letter telling me which years I can top up for along with guidance on how to pay and the link to this page...

Does anyone have a recent F menu/wine list from QF2 (LHR to SIN leg)?

Yes to all - there were three options requested, all showed as requested, then one changed to Confirmed and I got an email a few hours later with the good news

P1

PER-SIN-LHR business class released for 1st Oct Return LHR-SIN-PER First/Business released for 28th Oct The return flights were released by the bot, outbound by manual review

This triggered a question/thought in my mind. For my fellow P1's - how well planned is your future travel? I've got a couple of trips in the next 6 weeks which will see me tip over the 6,000 SC mark for my membership year (end July). After that - I've got nothing booked, but I expect that next...

I think this argument falls over when you look at the actual schedules. I fly PER - US (usually IAH, sometimes LAX, JFK or ORD) probably 5-6 times per year. Usually I go across the pacific, occasionally via the Middle East (on QR). The flights to the US work really well, short connection in DOH...

Hi - just wondering if anyone has the current J menu for QF9/10 PER - LHR? Travelling next week with my wife who's pescatarian and trying to decide if we should get her a special meal. I'm hoping that the normal menu will have a plant based option and a fish option so we don't have to go the...

I had a comp upgrade from CBR to PER a couple of weeks ago as a P1

Just to close this out for people's benefit - it was as @madrooster describes. I called Qantas (I'm WP1 so this may have helped) and made the name change from my cousin to my niece - all was very straightforward and no risk of them releasing the seats back to inventory as I'd been worried about...

Thanks @sudoer - that was going to be my approach, but then I read this post: Which seemed to indicate no vegetarian or pescatarian option (at least for the lunchtime flight)

Hi, just wondering if anyone has been on a morning PER-SYD or evening SYD-PER flight in J recently (in the 737) and knows what the menu is? Trying to decide whether to book a vegetarian meal or whether one of the options is normally vegetarian or pescatarian. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply - just bolded what I think is the relevant point here. Given the flight is sold out - would the seats actually go back into classic reward inventory and hence be available to immediately rebook and does the agent get any choice in this? My concern is that if they don't go...

Hi all, I've got some Qantas domestic classic reward flights coming up. One of our group can't fly and I was looking to change to another friend. My understanding (that I'd like confirming before I phone Qantas) is that, whilst they can change the name, the process is that the booking get's...

Few less flights than in pre-covid years but a lot of long haul.

Whilst I wouldn't consider myself a vinophile I am partial to a Moss Wood cab sauv and got stuck into a couple of bottles of it last month on a LAX to Syd flight in F (and then slept it off in what is, in my opinion, the best bed in the sky). I thought this was an excellent wine to serve in F...
