    The view or two from my "office"

    In the AMS office enjoying a morning coffee. SQ at least have arranged a small area down the back of the Aspire lounge just for them which is perfectly adequate. From some prior days, I can 100% recommend not arriving at Mallorca airport any earlier than needed. I was flying BA and the...

    The view or two from my "office"

    Office view the last couple of days and a clear reminder of why I value QF points Unbelievable EK flights from check-in, lounge, transit and onboard service. Note to self to break up Aus-Europe as you just can’t enjoy that second leg as much as you want to. <redacted>

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I’m not sure if it is or it isn’t but I enjoy the Syrah. Would happily be invited back. If I want top tier wine I’ll visit certain places but I think we can all form reasonable expectations based on the shared experiences here.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Just had an enjoyable SYD CL visit. Seems to just be a one off as have three flights this week. Also had really great crew ex HNL recently with a reserved sign at the lounge which came in handy as I arrived fairly late and that lounge fills up.

    Emirates restricts first class awards to elite members only

    Just through Syd domestic and they are promoting the QF EK partnership on the big screen above security so would be a little disingenuous if they remove this benefit.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    I’m pretty sure we have although the Rendang is a fairly new one. I quite enjoyed it too last Thursday. Back through tomorrow to see if anything new. The Spice bar choice has become more important since they’ve removed the other hot food at around 3pm Some Baos or dumplings wouldn’t go astray...

    Sydney airport Baggage system outage

    Was running late for my golden triangle today and was not weighed. She clocked the P1 tag and let through. Patrols at regular and premium with both having the approved hand luggage tags in hand. I’m always under but just slows down. Can’t imagine they would introduce anything on class of...

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Premier Platinum Offers & Discussion

    Not sure if this is the best place to post, I recall reading from others on how long this card takes to close and then also come off Credit report. Has anyone take action (i.e. calling Experian to get closed) or it usually just shows as closed after 3 or so months on your credit report?

    Had a call from the P1 team for a delayed domestic a couple of days out which was also welcome that had allowed me to move ahead.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I wouldn’t over complicate it. I believe it is more dependent on the surprise and delight factor at that particular time. Separately, the Songbird event in Sydney last week was another fantastic event. Was great to meet a few other P1s and hear some thoughts from the top.
