I've just got home from a quick 1 week trip from ADL to LAX and back.
Was upgraded going over at the gate to Y+ which was great, and the service was excellent.
Came home on friday with about a 70% full aircraft and had 3 seats to myself which was also great for sleep.
Only downer on the whole trip was after I cleared customs and pushed my 3 cases to domestic check in where I was asked if I had paid my excess fees. I said "no, I believe I'm entitled to 3 bags as this is a completion of a trip from the US plus I'm a qantas club member". I then asked if she would re-tag the bags with priority tags for the trip from MEL to ADL. She just pushed the button and sent my bags down the chute without priority tags, and then pushed my LAX supplied boarding pass accross to me and called "Next".
I know its only a small point, and it didn't really upset me, but it just shows how 1 person can change your feelings. By the way, her name was Mel.
