So SYD-BKK today and the CSM came and made a personal greeting to me about how much he appreciated my flying with Qantas etc. Very genuine and heartfelt. He then made another equally good greeting to the person beside me who happened to be a CL (and would be a WP1 as well). We were both provided with noise cancelling headphones. Also provided with priority passes for BKK immigration.
The CSM then noted that it was unusual we didn't each have a vacant seat beside us especially since there were many (>50) seats vacant. He went exploring and found two vacant seats at row 60 which my seatmate went to after the meal (I actually slept). My seatmate returned for landing of course.
I've tried to update my class of travel for my return next week but sadly it was a cheap seat which isn't eligible. Yet the SYD-MEL leg is eligible! Looks like I'll be sitting in row 60 and hopefully getting a vacant seat beside me.
