QF is the only airline I’ve had status with, and did it the hard way flying economy only domestically from 2007-2021. Almost LTG now and managed to snag Plat for a couple of years when living in Perth.

Dubai to Melbourne in 2019, had an empty seat on the London leg, then at Dubai had a passenger join who about an hour in displayed signs of manic intoxication. After having what can only be described as a meltdown they called for a doctor who examined the contents of their bag and determined...

probably the best article I've read on here, at least the ending at least. As someone who has always chased status it is a Will Smith type smack in the face of reality as to the level of my stupidity (mind you I'm not taking sides, just using the action to demonstrate the example in the moment).

As someone who has been flying domestically and internationally since 2007, I'm not faking when I say I never get upgraded. The 1 memorable exception was an Emirates flight to Thailand to see an old friend, and me and another school friend were travelling together in economy. School friend is...

Answered just as I would have expected. Thanks for the insight. 1591071849 Agreed. I am sure what we feel as pax and what is actually occurring with the aircraft are vastly different.

As I have several MEL-SYD-MEL to run before Xmas I will be keen to see how this goes, however last week's effort was a mixed bag. My 6.30am MEL-SYD on Tuesday was a two queue affair per the "old" system, whereas that evening's 6pm SYD-MEL had Prem Pax called first and loaded first. As previous...

Hi community, I wanted to share with you a recent experience on QF10 Dubai-Melbourne. I was sat next to a passenger in Dubai who had taken something medicinal (a doctor on board verified they had a prescription), along with potentially some alcohol and/or other substances, who proceeded to be...

I knew there was a reason I loved this site. Many thanks for the reality check, at least now I don't feel so neglected. Thanks again.

Hi all, love the site and now fully signed up. Have been looking through the other threads and hoping someone can help. I am ( and have been for the last 6 years ) a QFF Gold flyer, and almost LT Silver. Each year I have come within 200 ( sometimes within 50 ) status credits of qualifying for...
