I flew to CDG earlier this year, got the TGV immediately to Lille. No need to stop in Paris with the train connections. I actually think this might be a good option to connect to Eurostar to get to London. might need to track this down... There is the annual Champagne promo...

I did not say you've disparged the service standard. I actually wondered why you feel the need to make disparging comments about people sharing experience in this thread. You seem to have completely misunderstood my post. Not sure if deliberately, interesting that you did not quote the part of...

Maybe the same reason people tend to misunderstand that airlines have service standard that incoludes individual welcomes for some customers that the airline perceives to be of value. Why do people feel the need to enter a discussion about experiences with airline determined service standards to...

Interesting thread. Over the last week or so, QF53, QF1 general greeting and recogition as platinum in business and Y+. QF1 painful steps to make sure a hot breakfast was available for me as they did service back to front. QF 2 zero recognition in Y+. Did notice 3 others in the cabin getting...

I got bumped from QF36 to Qf38 on Saturday night. It was somewhat painful adding approx 4 hours to return time from London. QF38 was pretty empty, the menu was basic and limited - understandable given the departure time. The change was a point of discussion as there were 12 in Y+ from QF2. The...

Yep, it will be interesting to see the pricing. My next trip to london, the pricing was rather interesting, I ended up booking via singapore, because double SC. But the flights via PER with QF9/10 were slightly cheaper. This is in Y however, so I didn't want to do PER-LHR in Y while playing...

Link to earning tables. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/qantas-and-jetstar-earning-tables.html Interestingly, looks like SYD-PER-LHR/CDG should earn about 100 in economy, and that would be more direct, compared to SYD-MEL-SIN-LHR

it's about the same according to the calculator. 95 SC in economy for SYD-LHR. 95 for MEL-SIN-LHR. So you get an extra bit for SYD-MEL at a cost of what? 3 hours... 🤔

Or perhaps Airbus just number each aircraft they build with consecutive numbers to help keep track of them and for QC/QA purposes. Boring hey? Nice coincidence however https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A350

HUH? The answer does not start with yes. It starts with you Lets quote it: "You will continue to earn qantas points and status credits as per your fare type". They are both three letter words that start with 'Y', but you is very different to yes. Not only that but the opening phrase, "you will...

Interesting. in my situation my old ABN signed up early was moved to my new ABN a few years after 2017... no problem getting the benefits. Maybe a hang over form the original account...

Really? I stayed there early July and the re-branding was in. The lack of apparent Ambassador recognition was a hassle. No apparent upgrade. No breakfast. But the credit worked. did get the late check out, after pushing a bit

I certainly liked the old system when it comes to the situation where business class is often cheaper than flex. ;) I'm not so sure I'm too upset about the new system, perhaps that I might earn less for business than economy - lol. But being able to just look at price and schedule is somewhere...

Just looking at a last minute flight booking. Options are direct with choice at $350, and flex at $370, or a connection in flex @$343. Status earing at 12 per $, I make the difference to be 2 or 3 status credits. Seems like there is no incentive in earning to not fly direct. Have I got this...

Hard call now. Do I take the double sc from Qantas on a couple of trivial domestic flights, or the $25 birthday present from Virgin business flyer? lol

I actually think the Lite terms and conditions are being applied to all segments based on the disproportionately high cancellation fee. And of course, the business flyer portal cannot show me the fare rules. Manage booking only lists fare rules for the lite fare basis. As you say, the same low...

Sri Lankan also sent me an email with the payment info. plus 081 ticket number 5 hours before the Ticketing email from Qantas. Although, an email that anyone could bodgy up I'll try Finnair Thank you

I'll agree to disagree about the suggestion of aggression. I feel no aggression, just confusion about the need to focus on technicalities that have no bearing on the issue raised. Because they're not providing any useful help. They have not considered the question raised. They just seem to want...

No worries, thanks. I was probably over thinking the secrecy of the flight dates.

Have just done a second call and authored an email to business flyer after looking in detail. I have a cancelation fee - no free refund. They want over $500 in cancelation fee for a $1400 total fare. ADL-MKY-ADL when booking was routed via BNE. Therefore two "legs" ADL-MKY, MKY-ADL from a logic...
