Air Pacific

[Austman]

My experience this year flying Air Pac from SYD- NAN as an SG on FJ ticket in whY.

6:30am 737 flight in Jan 2012

Checked in at J counters and all others on same PNR.

Got 33KGS as Gold, others on PNR got 23KGs each.
All of us had Priority tags and bags waiting for us at NAN at VIP bagage line near ANZ bank.

Lounge access at QF J lounge, Gold + guest + silver QF one time pass.

Spoke to gate person and got priority boarding as SG + others with me.

Got there early and spoke to service desk, re: exit row seating on 737, row 25 A, 25C, 25K.

747 flight on FJ ticket in Feb 2012

10 of us + 1 infant of that 1 QF Gold + 1 FJ Tabua

Got there early on day, spoke to service desk organised for us to sit on upper deck, express lane cards (was only us plus 2 others on whole upper deck with 2 flight attendants servicing us), down stairs 70% full

Got 10kgs extra baggage
All of us had Priority tags and bags waiting for us at NAN at VIP bagage line near ANZ bank.

Did not use lounge as not enough guesting rights/extra one time cards.

Priority boarding lane at gate for us all.



A friend of mine was in a catch 22 position in Early JAN 2012 as booked on QF J NAN run from BNE and at SYD was told could only take 32Kgs as on QF ticket + 10Kgs extra due to SG and not the 60kgs FJ ticketed J pax can take( now back to 30kgs). He argued the point, then give me 64kgs as QF gold, to no effect.

Was all the above at SYD? What happened at NAN?

Sorry, to clarify

He did BNE-MEL-SYD later dec 2011, then was going home SYD-NAN early Jan 2012. He was expecting to take 60kgs as J pax and had to pay excess.

Yes all from SYD to NAN

Funny as I have been flying NAN-SYD in J and my last 3 trips.So got the All good service at NAN.

Can I say my bags were first off all 3 times at SYD, but baby stoller near last off at bulky cargo pick up area. This was also the case last week coming off QF8. I think I will now buy a cheap $30 stoller and give it to someone in Fiji.
