    Denied Entry to QF 1st Lounge Singapore

    There was nothing to stop the OP going to the business lounge. Different issue. some lounges at Doha are access by class of service. There are still lounges for status. IME the status lounge at doha for emerald is equal to the business lounge. espeically if you head to the satellite terminal...

    hmm got VH-VZX yesterday... on a double SC flight... no christams carols on boarding. Delayed an hour waiting for incoming crew. Would've been more festive if Qantas paid $000s for a substitute crew and didn't decide to delay us...

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    That really doesn't make sense, and I see this reasoning on here a fair bit. All that means is to get Midnight AEDT they end the promo at 1300 UTC. That's how time zones work.

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Yes and no. I forgot it was a high demand period and hence the website would be slow. Thanks for the suggestion to ring and the hope. End of the day the double isn't critical, I have at least 4 other overseas trips next year, including one that is guaranteed business, funded by someone else...

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    While I can own my slackness at starting a booking at 11:55pm and my choice to not use the express checkout option. The website taking about 4 minutes of loading time between the various steps is within the control of Qantas not me. I hit the pay button at 12:01. Obviously high demand, yes I...

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Locked in a couple of domestic trips. Literally missed a fairly last minute return to ATL by 1 minute due to not clicking "express checkout" button. Damn. 🤦‍♀️ I guess no problem with using Qatar for some other trips then.

    Qantas Hotels Vouchers used without my permission

    Considering the vouchers are apparently about your account there really is no privacy issue with telling you where you supposedly used the vouchers.

    What did someone do in the lounge that would make you not want to be on the same plane or near them on the plane?

    Did they make you eat the food and nuts, or just themselves...? Personally, I don't choose to eat my toe jam. But no problem if others want to do so...

    What did someone do in the lounge that would make you not want to be on the same plane or near them on the plane?

    Not in a lounge, sorry. But I was on a flight once and a whole mob of people were writing on one of the safety cards with a sharpie. Sign it or something. They seemed to know each other, like 15 of them. Was completely disgusting. Would not want to be of a plane with a people who have no respect...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    My reaction to the email... Copying Qantas lifetime gold, platinum plus, but easier to get... About the only thing is VA will actually provide the benefits. I'd have to be close to 8000 VA status since 2013, stopped tracking for covid. Soon to be double Lifetime Gold, i guess. oh yeah...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    Nothing I've written precludes someone having an opinion. The issue is demanding people behave according to that opinion. Someone might think others are "flaunting" themselves, that's an opinion no matter how misguided. Holding that opinion does not create the right to demand/insist that they...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    No I don't mean turn away, I mean don't look. Do not look. It's really easy ignore things. Do not look. Fundamentally, it sounds exactly like you're demanding people dress to suit you... the 1950s are calling...
