WP treatment in Y

[patrickk]

Yes they are good at recognition and I have had similar as a Gold FF. Get PJs from time-to-time (enough to keep stocked) and used to get the full introduction teatment, but now that may depend on how many Platinum versus gold there are in the cabin.

Had my first flight as a WP last week, this was in Y travelling MEL-SYD-PVG.

MEL-SYD was a standard Cityflyer service that was uneventful and got me to SYD in time for me to try the Flounge for the first time (that place is paradise - I'm already planning my next run to enjoy the lunch/dinner menu and more of the spa!)

However, I thought I should say that SYD-PVG was a beautiful flight, for the following reasons:

• Just after take-off, the CSM came by to introduce himself (I think his name was Eduardo, and he apparently spoke Spanish), greeting me by name and asking if he could do anything to make my flight more comfortable
• Business class noise-cancelling headphones were offered (saving me the hassle of getting my own out of my bag, and the risk of leaving them or a cord behind)
• Asked for and received J amenity kit (hoping for pyjamas on the overnight return flight)
• The famed WP shadow - had 26J, so was able to lie across two seats

All in all, a fantastic flight. The only disappointment was them running out of cup noodles after about 4hrs into a 10-10.5hr flight. Was offered some biscuits but they all contained nuts. Was tempted to ask for an alternative in the hope of a J snack, but I fell asleep. I also wondered if that would be pushing the friendship too far, so to speak

It's a fair assumption. But I would expect chairman's lounge types get HVC. Not just any old platinum.

Just printed my SYDMCYSYD BPs and mine has HVC on it. I am WP. Seems like a nonsense on Deathstar. Maybe they'll offer me a free cup of tea or water :-|.

Nothing too special on a return trip to ZQN at the end of July. No greeting, standard service except the use of my name. Mrs_O, who still goes by her maiden name, did get ignored when additional drinks were offered which annoyed her.

Shadow was retained in 4B but then again both flights were far from full.

Flights taken: No acknowledgement. No worries.

Very busy flight from BNE to HKG. No personal greeting, which TBH I was fine with as it would have felt a little weird, but was given wine from the front and some noise cancelling headphones. Lost my shadow too (assuming I even had one to start with) but as I said it was a busy flight although there were a few spares seats down the back of the bus.
