Platinum "anytime" lounge Access ceases from 1 February 2011

[medhead]

And increase the chance of Golds allocating the coveted row 4 on 737's and row 23 on 767's.

Like all those golds who are ex-WPs?

I’m Silver and am in row 6 on a 737 and 24 on a 767 for my next 2 flights Hoping to improve on that too, who says you need to be a WP

 

[MatF]

Bah, I went to seat selection at T-79h59m for my flight on QF510 (on a 738) this morning, and still couldn't get row 4!

 

[PineappleSkip]

I think though that there are many WPs who "manage" to fly QF even though they might be on a BFOD booking system. Now they might be inclined to not manage to fly QF.

QBT had a marvellous system (for QF fans) of charging a $27 or so booking fee for DJ flights. Generally managed to make QF cheaper. I'm told now that for some accounts QBT is price matching DJ.

Keep looking, strange things happen at times!

 

[MatF]

Heh, yeah, I have seen that happen ... suddenly a good seat opened up well after T-80.

Sadly I meant the flight was the morning, and I only managed to get to 5A. There was a couple in 4 B/C with a baby, and 4A (the seat I would have normally taken if available) was empty, so I'm not sure what happened there!

 

[serfty]

Maybe a WP 'shadow'.

 

[markis10]

I find CL's have a larger shadow!

Tell me about it. It's horrible in CBR sometimes - but E/F seat alerts help a lot.

Now that I have my seat for tomorrow's flight, there's no way I'm moving:

The worst I've seen was everything forward of the exits being blocked on a 734, even for me as a WP.

 

[el_rooto]

They blocked the seat next to me on qf 128 a few weeks ago. (this was an exit row seat too.)

So!I have a larger shadow than most CLs.
Just to throw a little more oil on the fire.Just want to comment on the QF 1000 mile minimum earn.I credit all flights that can earn AA miles to AA.They have only a 500 mile minimum earn but as AA plat I earn 100% bonus on my bonus miles so last week's sectors look like this-
DPO-MEL-miles-128,bonus-872,total-1000.
MEL-SYD-miles-280,bonus-720,total-1000.

I will be taking full advantage of WP anytime access this week whilst collecting Princess Fiona Jnr aka Felicia from SYD and dropping her off on Sunday. Normally I wouldn't bother but I think I should on this occasion for posterity.

At least let QFF feel like they were justified in their decision!

By the way, shouldn't that be 'Felicia' (http://shrek.wikia.com/wiki/Felicia)? I'm always impressed with how you and Homer maintain the reference, so I'm guessing this was an obscure one...

That't the ones.

Never give up. Keep trying as some better seats open up closer to flight time.

They blocked an exit row middle seat next to me as a Bronze earlier this year, though perhaps the guy next to my blocked seat was in fact a WP? I’m not sure though, I don’t think so

Wish you were there on Wednesday! Could do with a guest spot to the J lounge

... They have only a 500 mile minimum earn ...

Just to claify, the 500 minum is only for those with status.

An AAdvantage member with no status would earn 220 miles between MEL and SYD in O class on QF.

 

[simongr]

Fixed that for you...

By the way, shouldn't that be 'Felicia' (Felicia - WikiShrek - The Wiki all about Shrek)?

Post edited and thankyou I lost track of the movies after the first 2. I love staying in character.
