Finally got to SG

[ashleyn]

After 19 years of paid QP membership, I have just made SG for the first time.

 

[Limewood]

Well done, know how you feel, did same last Oct, will have enough for next year too, wife likes being able to use lounges here and OS plus faster check in.

Yay, well done. SG is the best one to get IMO

 

[serfty]

Well done! 19 years ... OMG!

Does that include the Old silver level? (50 'flights' per 'year' 1993-1998, 700 TC's 1998-1999)

Congratulations.

Per ardua ad astra

 

[Flying Fox]

Congrats.

I remember the first time I achieved SG, it was fantastic.

Status - one of the best/worst addictions that I have been burdened with

Up to WP

Congrats on getting past the milestone, and remember, keeping it is easier than getting it

Good work - now get yourself to LHR and show them QP card and your SG card

Does that make something magic happen ?

Well given that they would turn away QP members it would be better than that outcome...

T5. or T3.?

 

[simongr]

My understanding was both unless travelling on very specific itineraries.

My understanding was both unless travelling on very specific itineraries.

From what I read into it, T5 you have to be connecting or have come from a QF service.

But I am guessing it doesn't affect QF bookings out of T3

 

[simongr]

But in the past you could access the T3 J lounge as a QP member when flying BA and now you can not.

Congratulations.

I remember how excited I was when I first reached Gold for the first time in 2006 (I was actually excited when I reached Silver in 2004 and 2005 as well) and the next year Platinum and have been there ever since. Funny how times have changed....

That's my next challenge.

 

[Robert Qld]

Congrats! I got mine after 7 years and now I am plotting ways to go WP! This seriously is more addictive then crack!

I do agree you should try the Lounges in LHR if and when you ever visit. I got in easily enoughin the lounge a few months ago with my SG/OWS card and even managed to guest an aquaintance in who had a different (though granted BA) flight

 

[Gumnut]

Congrats Enjoy. By my calcs Dr Gumnut should make Gold in about 10 days and I know he could have done with some lounge love last night while stuck in MEL so he's looking forward to it.

 

[awilcockson]

Congratulations, I remember the excitement of hitting gold. They didn't even have time to send me the bag tags before I'd hit Platinum a week later on the return flight (got to love those RTW J fares with F AA legs )
