Question for fellow P1's How have you been treated on EK flights? any different to QF? How has your op up success rate been on EK metal? (with or without QF flight nos/ticketed)?
I have had one flight with EK last weekend. Booked in J via Qantas, Singapore to Melbourne. Reserved preferred seat by the Plat 1 team as I couldn't get it on the QF site. When I checked in I had been moved to a far worse seat (still in J). Check-in and Qantas lounge (Singapore) couldn't do anything, nor could Plat 1 team. But in the EK lounge I asked if I could be returned to original seat. Asked to leave it with them. About an hour later I was handed a new boarding pass with an upgrade to first. To be honest I don't know if it was because of status or because I had explained that I wanted to move (and I didn't ask). My suspicion is the latter, because on board while I got excellent treatment, it was 1st class and there was no reference to status, being with Qantas or trying to recruit me to EK.
