More like par for the course lately….
).Not if it's in flight mode!
This doesn't surprise me coming from QF lounge agents. What might help is to try every couple of hours when they have a new person manning the desk. Another option would of course would be to buy fully flexible business class tickets for a flight operating on that bird, boarding the flight, retrieving the phone then cancelling said flight. Make sure you visit the Qantas lounge for good measure too, just to make it up for the hassle you've been through!
A lot of it really depends on where the phone has landed. A few months ago I flew the A330 from MEL to SYD in J and as you are probably aware you need to religiously follow the clock if you want any hope of getting an express nap after the in-flight meal service. Once that meal tray was gone, I pressed and held the lie flat button. Fast forward 10 minutes into the nap and I could hear my metallic wallet hit the floor. I start looking around the floor and couldn't see it. Sure enough the damn thing was lodged directly under the seat which can be a pain to get to. In the end while I didn't need engineering to get at the seat it definitely took a good 10 minutes of negotiating with the lie flat seat and judicious use of the flashlight on my phone to locate and ultimately succeed in the wallet recovery mission.
I reckon the phone will need some counselling after all of this... either that or an extended stay at the International First Lounge now that it's made WP. Perhaps can guest you in too!Great outcome - also that it has not been apparently damaged (badly since it's still working!) and had quite some adventures in that seat (the things it has probably seen/heard from the pax in that seat!!
It's been fun to follow along, but very glad you have been looked after in the end.
(I was trying to think of some kind of smart cough comment tying into the call centre long wait times but I'm struggling a bit... perhaps "QF made sure you had to wait a long time to be connected to an agent" but that's a bit lame).
good service even if it took some time to get onto the right people! (and I'm glad it did not end up a safety issue also which is very lucky for everyone involved!)
Who in their right mind would interrupt a fellow traveller phone's milage run in J, especially when it's on the airlines dime?

So close…

It uses the bluetooth on the iPhone to connect with nearby iOS devices and when those devices then connect to the web they publish the devices and location they were spotted in.
Did battery last all the way?
The little guy held out until Monday morning, by which time it was in SYD baggage services - I like to think it held on until it knew that we knew that it was okay…
Only silver status? I thought all that J flying by now would've conferred it Platinum One or at least Gold with the distances travelled. Must've been travelling on some classic flight awards!
