Melbourne Airport promotion? ['mystery' points credit - now resolved]

[Steady]

I have a strange entry in my QFF statement - can anyone shed light?

I did transit MEL on the 3rd April but have no idea what I did to earn the 600 QFF points

03 JUN 16 MELBOURNEAIRPORT 03APR16 - - 600 -

No - I was just transiting through MEL on my way home to DPO.

I think everyone who has to suffer MEL should get at least 600 points (if not an apology from state government)

Much better than Sydney/Brisbane and Perth that's for sure. Adelaide is pretty decent but is more 'boutique'.

Nothing a boutique Dom J Lounge and priority security line wouldn't fix!

Only bad thing about Adelaide airport is no decent lounges for international flights. Domestic QP and VA lounge just doesn't cut it. Everything else is great.

Keeping in mind you said a better international airport - Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Cairns.
Melbourne international has a ludicrous security and emmigration arrangement. Pathetically congested. Once finally making it inside there ain't much atmosphere. Brisbane has similar security problems but much nicer inside. Sydney has much better security and about the same atmosphere, but better lounge options.

Adelaide and cairns benefit from small size, making them easy to handle. Adelaide great atmosphere.

It's the vibe, it's mabo, it's vibe...

Still not sure why international is relevant to a domestic transit.

*If you can count it as an international airport.

Good, now that they're all gone, the priority lines will always be empty for you and I

Glad we could get that business all sorted out.

What about CNS?

You received an extra 600pts and you have no idea why but you are questioning it? God youse Taswegians are strange breed of cattle.

Were you using T4? If so, they should have given you 6,000 points!!

I'll ask for 600 when I transit MEL on Saturday.

Cairns has an airport?

I transit MEL 40+ times a year - I'd like to know what what triggered it so I can do it again- if that makes me a strange cow so be it

QF in CNS even manage to do Priority Boarding and enforce it these days... much better effort than SYD, BNE or MEL IME.
