Qantas Platinum One experiences?

[Vic]

Newbie Plat one - a couple of months
Booked a simple golden trianle return today on 737. Went to do seat selection to see that I was already allocated my preferred seat, 4D, automatically. none of the "aisle" preference.
That's nice and platinum one related

Did 133 CHC-BNE and 112 AKL-PER both in paid J - the Kiwi crews are really bloody outstanding. Both flights I was adressed as Mr X every time they spoke to me and general fun banter and conversations with them, continually asking me and the young fella whether we needed anything - compared to my last J across the country where I was grunted at for asking for a drink

The Perth T3 arrivals is still an absolute cluster - despite complaining every time and someone telling me it's getting fixed.

6 months left of P1 so trying to find some ways to enjoy it - hopefully an invite or 2

Side note: does anyone know if they can see flight history on tablets - had it a couple times where they have said I fly more than them - not sure if it's a general comment or backed by facts.

Soon, I'll be taking my first QF flight since becoming a P1 (my new membership year occurred in-between). I'll let you know if I receive any acknowledgement.
It will be a flight back to Australia (going over with JQ).

A couple of weeks ago, I had an invite to a coughtail event in my city - I sadly had to decline as I was already booked that night (and was only informed shortly beforehand). I asked them to keep me informed of other events and they replied to me, which was nice.

I had my first flight as a P1: it was QF24 BKK-SYD. It was in Y (had I known that that would've been my first as a P1, I would've picked something closer to the front). I had a bulkhead seat which I wasn't exactly fond of. Yes, the extra legroom is definitely beneficial, however, with the tv screen being on the arm, that means it's at a weird angle and cannot be used during taxi, take-off, and landing.

After checking their sheet, I was greeted at my seat nicely by the flight attendant who said to let them know if there's anything that they can do for me. I did have one request: I asked them for a set of pyjamas as it was an overnight flight. To my surprise, they actually brought me a set (which I subsequently wore). I asked for some slippers too but the attendant informed me that they don't hand these out in J anymore (so they brought me an eye mask and socks instead).

Unfortunately, this was the first time that I got zero sleep on a flight (normally it's disjointed/broken sleep not absolutely nothing). So, to make good use of the time, I almost finished season one of Ted Lasso (I had heard heard of the program but never seen it before).

If anything extraordinary happens, on future flights, I'll report back.

Asking for pyjamas in economy is only slightly DYKWIA behaviour. If they offer them to you then great but not a fan at all of requesting business class perks in a lower cabin.

I think there’s nothing wrong in asking if one accepts gracefully if the answer is a no

Yea even as WP, got J predrink wine and J headphones the few times I asked, when the crew came and ask if I needed anything. Pretty sure amenity kit and PJ could work too. Mind you I would feel unconfortable in J PJ in Y, but if traveling HLO, preserving clothes would be a good reason to wear them.
