    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    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.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    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.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    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...

    Does anyone know how they allocate seating on QFLink? I checked-in for a flight and was down in 11A (that's the highest seat number I've had in a while!!). I was able to change to 1B but there were limited choices ahead of R11. On boarding I was one of only few status passengers (no other...

    I'm a little confused by your response here. Yes, consistency isn't a strong suit of QF, however they do consistently deliver the key benefits touted for P1 (access to VIP team, priority boarding, priority seat selection, partner platinum, etc). As RichardMEL states, the majority of the...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Out of curiosity what do you actually want? Is it to feel recognised and important or you actually need assistance (which can be arranged)? I have never had a need for assistance on return to Sydney as the e-gates are quick and often find myself standing around for a good 10 mins waiting for...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I've been invited (plus guest) to the welcome home of the Australian Paralympic team on September 11 in Hangar 96. Unfortunately clashes with work events (7.30am - 10.30am) so cannot attend but the gesture is nice. Now, how do I get an invite to the Bledisloe....

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Coming back to this I have been offered it on my flight today. It suggests a busy period so I guess that’s why. No predicted weather issues. Interesting given it’s a mid afternoon flight on a triangle route.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Interesting. The times that I have noticed it there hasn't appeared to be any issues (e.g. weather) but if I'm honest, I haven't had the need to use it so don't really look out for it. Will see whether it's there next week.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    From memory it's also on the app on same day of travel. I can't remember if you need to be checked in or not. I can look next week (if I remember) when I have my next flight and see if it gives me any options to change

    Well some of the patrons I saw in the Sydney CL confirms your comment! Amazingly they were people legitimately there

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I did just that. Awkwardly I was travelling with a colleague that didn’t have lounge access so took them to the business lounge and then moved swiftly into the CL. My colleague understood. A couple of pics. The Ramen was very nice and a huge step up to the slop that was being served in the...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF typically not that much different. generally in the A$10-$20 range. You will on occasion get a wine or two a little higher than this.

    Just received my first CL invite. My flight is Thursday evening from Syd at around 7pm which I would have thought considered somewhat peak so surprised to receive the invitation!
