    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    I've seen some comments that those with Gold have already received their Domestic Business Lounge invites which were meant to be distributed as part of this Qantas apology. I keep checking and mine still only show the standard "general" invites I've received from CC's. Has anyone else...

    Philippines call centre for WP?

    Funny you mentioned this. I have always been routed to the Aus call centre (Platinum) but rang on Friday to sort a small issue and went straight through to an OS call centre. Was still able to sort out the problem but maybe its a change of system's which isn't great.

    Virgin Lounge in Perth closed prior to the redeye departures?

    I can confirm that the lounge was shut when we flew the red eye last month. No signs, no notice. Couldn't believe this was the case before the red eye and topped things off after no priority/business check in and only one bag drop operating. At the time, this information was not on their...

    Lack of Qatar reward seats on Qantas

    Basically takes away the only reliable award flights as an option. Still nothing coming up this year at all. Gutted.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I noticed the same thing. No Qatar reward flights from any Europe capital city as of yesterday. They usually drop new days around midnight. Reward seats showing available on their own site and usually they appear immediately on Qantas as well.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    There is signage in all the lifts for the exec lounge on level 1. I took a walk by it and its fully fitted out ready to go. Just not opened. I have not seen any information on when or if it will be opened.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    We were due to stay at Hilton Brisbane for this event but due to boarder closures, had a change our plan. When booking H-BNE, it was indicated to us that we would still receive full breakfast in Brisbane plus drinks as exec lounge is shut. I agree, very disappointing to see considering hotel...

    Delta not upgrading VA Gold to Comfort Plus [booked "Basic Economy"]

    If anyone could indicate how you are meant to "opt in" it would be greatly appreciated. There is no where obvious on the Delta website when viewing a booking and have just been on the phone with Virgin who are clueless. Currently have a booking on Delta from SYD to LAX but VA codeshare.
