Glad it has gone well for you. Not so lucky myself. Lots of building work at the moment. Small arrivals hall which clogs up in the busier periods (e.g summer) Always delays to flights in contrast, at Birmingham, you’re out of the terminal 10 mins after landing.

Qatar and Emirates will take you to Birmingham. Manchester has more airline traffic but is a terrible airport and should be avoided like the plague.

…and then followed up by a BA upgrade on the connecting flight from LHR Thanks BA! not sure what has caused this but hoping it’s part of a broad new trend for all LOL

indeed, but was specifically mentioned as a ‘he’

Got a pleasant surprise QF1: J to F op-up They told me a captain had been bumped for me. Very sorry Mr Captain, but thanks very much Qantas!

It’s worth asking, for sure. I just go with the flow normally, so probably a good chance my experience isn’t typical separately, something that does bug me (a bit) is how sticky the tables are in the dining area. Like, perished plastc type sticky (rather than from not being wiped). Managed to...

I am P1 and don’t get let in there when flying Emirates Only when on QF

Thanks. Had not ticked that box fixed now. Thanks for the tips

Congratulations Rich and glad you had a good time! I have been P1 for best part of 10 years. I have signed my company as a corporate client to qantas for several years and we spend hundreds of thousands per year with them In that time I have had zilch freebies/invites. They even neglected to...

Every time I’ve been there for QF2 they have been open at 4hrs but not before.

Can’t say I’ve noticed an improvement. Was on Dom J yesterday and the CSM was fawning over a lady in the seat next to me. Got her a drink and nuts before serving anyone else, then eventually got around to us. i figured she was CL but from their chats I think she was probably a senior staff...

The 380 is great. I always try and get a window ‘inny’ because they’ve got 2 bins for your personal use. the middle seats don’t have them on the 777, I go for the central seats (but aisle) because that middle seat is usually empty.

Ahh OK. Thanks Yes. Flight was pretty full in the end. Maybe some of us got lucky then.

maybe you’re onto something there. Does the 717 have a J cabin? There was ‘no higher cabin available’ when I put in for an upgrade beforehand. So, I assumed when I was switched to row 5 that they’d simply moved me However, on reflection, the replacement plane did have this mini cabin at the...

I should add that I wasn’t that concerned about it, more curious - and would not have wished to move someone by pulling rank However, i’d had the seats reserved for weeks and they were showing as still there right up until the moment I clicked on the check-in button. Captain (later) said...

Had a pleasant experience on HBA trip had reserved row 1 but when I went to check in, it put me in the middle seat several rows back the VIP team were baffled that a P1 got ‘bumped’ but could not help within the day pf travel Got to the lounge, more bemused comments about ‘that shouldn’t...

In hindsight, I probably didn’t. Just went to the boarding pass. Thanks for the tip, I’ll be frantically checking every trip now. Refresh, refresh, refresh. LOL

Having pointed out I hadn't received any comp upgrades in many a year, VIP team came through 2 days in a row! Thanks Qantas! Very grateful (Maybe they read AFF?) Both at-gate, after the machine rejected me for boarding. The lady on the desk said the VIP ones don't come through on the app now...

I am P1 flying regularly on domestic. I pretty much always apply for a points upgrade, on the basis that they don't always come through At the moment, I am getting about 1/3 (33%) of them granted. Mainly on Syd-Mel or Syd-Adl Without applying (with points), a different story. In the several...

245k! That's nuts! :)
