The wife is going to be one happy egg.
Nice work QF!
I just read this & thought about time!!!
- No fee when you book flights over the phone via the Qantas call centre
I've done a couple of phone bookings as a P1 and the fee was never imposed. Indeed the lady at the call centre specifically mentioned to me once that P1s weren't charged the booking fee for phone bookings.
For interest, why was it an AA problem? I assume you must have been on the AA codeshare/AA ticket but QF being the operating carrier I would still think it was still their problem in any case.
You are correct on both counts - I emailed the QFP1 team when sitting off the gate for 1 1/2 hours and the girl came back with "you need to talk to AA as its their problem and they need to re-route you." I will likely hand that email to Lesley Grant at the coughtail function in Sydney tonight..................

I think that has been a benefit since P1 started.I've done a couple of phone bookings as a P1 and the fee was never imposed. Indeed the lady at the call centre specifically mentioned to me once that P1s weren't charged the booking fee for phone bookings.

And fly ahead on a flexi? Give me a break - it's a flexi!
Just back from the Sydney coughtail party - all very nice and civil. Lesley Grant (CEO of QF Loyalty) spoke about the new benefits and made a great deal of emphasis on the golf (useless to me) but surprisingly didn't mention the platinum membership for spouse / de facto partner (also pretty useless to me but good if anyone has a partner who travels a bit). Interestingly one of the QF loyalty team I spoke to had no idea about the dramas in Dallas last week nor who was on the P1 team in Canberra...........................other than that, the evening was all about how QF will return to profit having turned the corner etc and how they just love to receive feedback from their loyal frequent flyers. One day this lot might keep up with Virgin in terms of innovation and change...........
I got the invite to the Union sorry guest spot taken, but you have done the simulator haven't you.
Thanks for that link. Some interesting points indeed.Interesting article about Platinum One perks in yesterday's SMH - Exclusive experiences the payoff for customer loyalty
