Am sad to hear about OPs experience, but I’d be doing the same as @Quickstatus : Zenning out as much as I can. We lack empathy for a society that is becoming increasingly stratified, I don’t blame people for sometimes being obnoxious honestly as this world is not always a happy genteel place...

Thank you for your responses, am pleased to say that my upgrade was successful, and even made the connection with enough time to enjoy the QR SIN lounge before my flight, with QF2 also delayed. Cabin crew were surprisingly so good on both of the QF flights. Cherry on top was being able to...

Thank you for clarifying! The Qantas website wasn't clear on what happens in this circumstance. And hopefully claim flex Y ORC DSC as booked if the journey goes sideways (also connecting through LHR in this trip!)

Have been trying to find out what would happen in the scenario of a successful J Classic Upgrade QF1 SIN-LHR if I misconnected onto this sector due to the late arrival of my connecting QF37 flight from MEL? Would I forfeit the points in this case during rebooking? All flights would be booked...

I would’ve thought the contrary, given The Pier has the delightful Rosewood set menus, which The Wing doesn’t have? How is it upsetting? The peanut sauce they use in their Shanghainese noodles is one of my favourites! Although it would be nice if they offered a larger serving in the F section...

Have booked on VA1978, good excuse to fly to Sydney with some flair! I like this VA initiative for a bit of fun, even if most of us here are expecting so much more in terms of an announcement actually worth the hype!

I think many there have well and truly left QF in the dust and moved onto other options by now

No different to Broome I guess... denied access yesterday 'cause lounge was full.

I really sympathise with OP that went through this ordeal, which the local authorities have really made a mountain over a molehill. It's probably given us all a reality check about how different legal systems work worldwide and how they're not as universal as most, even in countries like Japan...

Am wondering if anyone has an idea for when the PHE QF lounge will reopen? An upgrade was announced last year, but how's it progressed?

😂Am enjoying these responses, thank you to everyone for sharing your thoughts! 👏 Whilst I like to make the most of my opportunity relish the flying experience often, I can see why people would do it as well. Social media attention seeking aside, flying time is a great opportunity to meditate...

Agreed, just part of the race to the bottom for attention on social media I guess 🤷‍♂️

Friend just asked me at the airport earlier today whether I was going to start ‘raw dogging’ my flights. Would you or do you do this in your travels?

That goes without saying

Charging for these benefits standalone just seems so ratchet. Seeing the ME3 to different degrees monetise benefits like these including lounges devalues their brand perception for me. Say what you want about BA (which I’ve never seen as offering an exceptional experience) but I feel at least...

Appreciate the response, thank you! I should’ve known to head for the the QFF terms and conditions first 😓

Resurrecting this thread to ask whether the amount of points for a QF CR J upgrade on a particular segment is based on the most restrictive fare type in a mixed saver/flex booking, or the specific fare type booked for a particular segment to be upgraded? Am considering booking such a combination...

Can’t believe people would stay up or get up at that hour for T-80 selection on a domestic hop! Reminds me of iPhone launch days gone by

Am kinda disappointed, enjoyed the Q129 hop to PVG, timing was pretty good for onward domestic connections all in a single day of flying. But when you think about how cheap J fares often are from mainland carriers, sometimes less than half the price of QF, they are just never going to be...

Have found pizza service to be mostly available pretty much right up before the final QF flights of the day in my experience. Have had so much of it that I almost never ever eat pizza outside of flying now. 😂 The whole rationalisation of lounge ops has been a thing at PER for years now...
