And with that, I hang up my white bag tag and hand back the white card. After 5 years as a P1, will I miss it? Slightly - mainly for the following reasons (in no particular order): Partner platinum Seat selection VIP service team Christmas gift The DYKWIA factor (Very) Occasional surprise and...

Owen Wilson (seen) at Syd airport arrivals yesterday evening.

Received the generic 'we're monitoring your flight' email from the VIP team ahead of an upcoming holiday. This will be my last P1 flight for the foreseeable future as I will lose P1 status as of 1 April. Will be interested to see the difference in flight experience on some upcoming travel in...

Fair point re the wines (and tbh I wasn't aware of that aspect so thanks for sharing). I mean it's a bit rich to be blaming NP solely, he likely has to work within extremely tight budgets to create the menu which limits the ability (overlaid with restrictions in onboard kitchens). Having eaten...

That would require going back to the mid-90s given NP started his association with QF in 97. Whilst I certainly agree that with the broader sentiment re QF food and bev in F has gone downhill significantly, this isn't solely attributable to NP - likely more so AJ and his LCC approach to QF.

Hahah. Yes, I did. Pleased it was back to the champagne this year. Whilst I am more of a gin drinker (love a negroni), the gins over the last two years have been a little underwhelming

What you have outlined is reflective of a number of people (including myself) in this thread for the last few years. I would suggest I received the same / better onboard service from QF as a SG/WP between 2012-2018 than I have as a P1 since 2019. Reflecting on your 'never hads': Never had any...

No. AFAIK, they were doing the 'surprise and delight' activities for P1s (comp upgrades, CL) across the April - Aug period last year. I received a number of domestic upgrades during that time as well as my one and only CL invite. There were a number of reports on here about CL invites around...

Re the events, I would say that I have been invited to ~1 per (non-COVID) year of being P1. Never to something I've really wanted to go to though. On an unrelated matter, out of curiosity, when flying Dom Y on a 737, do any of my fellow P1s get automatically allocated row 4? Despite my...

I haven’t flown as much as usual this current membership year for various reasons and at this stage most likely won’t retain P1. Was interested to receive the following email today given I still have three months to go…

Oh yes, was merely reporting my experience for others. Somewhat redundant to be delivered to me now (well post Thursday last week) as I am away until early January.

Auspost must be struggling. Got the notification on Wednesday that it was being packed, however hasn’t moved since then!

Just received my AusPost notification from Qantas Wine. Hopefully arrives by Friday as I am away for two weeks from Saturday!

I got them too! My wife rolled her eyes and said 'more QF pyjamas 😆 Too bad it's too hot for them here in Sydney at the moment. No notification about P1 Xmas gift though - hopefully not just the pj's!

Last year, I (and many others) received their gift around 13/14 December so this week is my money

Arrived home yesterday evening to the most recent 'collectors edition' of the QF mag. Not sure if P1 related but they have done this periodically in the past. More advertising than content from my quick perusal.

I mean go and eat at said hotel if you don't like the menu (or alternatively a airport café / restaurant that serves the food you would like to eat). No one is forcing anyone to eat or drink in the lounge and some people like to imbibe an alcoholic beverage prior to an international flight...

Was that a P1 event? Any thoughts you got from others that you can / want to share here?

Doubt LTSC plays into it. I’ve got just shy of 20k SC so relatively ‘junior’ in the ranks.

I understood that for a few of the months this year QF were running 'surprise and delight' type campaigns for P1s. There was a couple of months (April / May) where there were a lot of comp upgrades handed out (I think for my limited dom travel I was 3 from 4 flights) and then June / July was the...
