Qantas First class SYD-LAX

[DC3]

You must be really unlucky, or I must be really lucky, or both, because numerous times I have asked for the steak sandwich at a time outside of "meal time" and have received it.

Never had anyone from QF ring/contact me about any of the above.

Number of F trips : 6
All prior to the Rona

My only experience thus far on QF F was just as Rona was kicking off in the US (March 2020). Received the phone call from a First host, who confirmed advised/confirmed all the items discussed by others. Shame if it's been replaced by an email now, but FWIW my understanding was that F pax are pretty much guaranteed a spa booking.

F pax are pretty much guaranteed a spa booking.

we have never booked a spa session, so it's unimportant for us.
Just a different experience depending on the passenger I suspect. Consistently inconsistent

The email states you can ask about spa availability when you arrive at the lounge or email about booking a spa appointment with a provided email address.

Sent them an email this morning about it, will reply if I hear anything back.

Flew today, was a pretty good experience. Porter met me at the kurb at Sydney Int departures and took my bags to check-in (I called the provided number 15 min prior as requested).

First lounge got escorted to the roped off section, minute steak was on the special menu and provided with spa form for my booked time. Good experience overall.

I was on QF1 to SIN and steak sandwiches on the menu (attached a pic, sorry that some of it was blurry).

Upon arrival in SIN a QF staff member was on the aerobridge with a sign for disembarking first passengers and escorted me through security and to baggage claim, though neither was particularly busy. Was super nice though.

So yeah, overall positive experience. Get to do it all again on the return on Wednesday now.
