    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Earned 2800 status credits in 7 months. However changed to Singapore Airlines for international travel because qantas is unfortunately now a garbage airline. P1 the same garbage product. Qantas emailed me to say because I have reached the 2160 SC threshold they will extend my P1 for another...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    That's fine. That is your prerogative. I'm not a sheep when I don't have to be, especially when it concerns my medical record.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Big argument at check in counter Sydney, flying international. Woman at the counter demanded to see my vaccination certificate. I said its not a requirement anymore, the country I'm going to doesn't require proof of vaccination. Told her I'm sick and tired of Qantas staff making up their own...

    Status schmatus

    Totally agree. Platinum One and Platinum not what it used to be with the Spirit of cough. Not worth chasing, either buy business or get the cheapest airfare you can with another airline. Very disappointed.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I don't personally gift platinum to anyone, It's a bug bear of mine, personal opinion only. I don't think it's fair on other platinum users who fork out hard earned money and do the miles to reach and attain platinum.

    Qantas Platinum Status Worth It?

    Don’t bother with p1 it gives no better service than gold. I’ve been p1 for quite sometime and lifetime gold and half way to lifetime platinum before Covid and the experience was very good. Post Covid it’s rubbish. Cannot get upgraded with points, seats next to me not blocked even though gold...

    Perth/Broome lounges

    I was in the Perth lounge last week. You should be moved to the business lounge. The lounge isn't self serve which I find to be a 100% improvement. The food is just as good or better than pre covid. Pizza after after 12 or 12.30pm. The Perth lounge is the benchmark compared to the Sydney lounge...

    Keeping Platinum One with on-the-ground offers?

    Personally I wouldn't worry about chasing PI or any other status level. Flying these days no matter what class your flying in is an absolutely miserable experience. 5 weeks ago I flew back from Asia business class, basically you just pay for the seat. Service virtually non existent Which is...

    What aspect of travel do you miss the most?

    Sorry to be a misery guts, but I don't miss any aspect of flying or travelling. This has been the longest period in 10 years that I haven't been in an airport or in a plane, and I'm loving it.

    All International Arrivals into Australia to self isolate for 14 days

    Its called unity, and its refreshing to see. I would bet you dollars to doughnuts that 99% of those in forced quarantine would not self isolate correctly. Those %^^%^ people in the immediate past have proven that and have forced the Governments hand. Also I would bet you the farm, that if...

    I’m overseas at the moment, living in my own house, with family so I’m comfortable. I live and work in Aus as well, was considering coming back end of May for work, but will probably stay here for the duration, not really prepared for the hotel lotto, even though i agree that the government had...

    Qantas Revenue booking cancellations (under covid19)

    Yes, but you wont get a voucher. The credit is recorded and you have to ring the call center to redeem the credit. On another note, I have about 8 international flights booked after June 1st 2020. The refund goes straight to voucher no choice of cash refunds. Does anyone know when or if there...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    Dont sweat it, there`s not much difference between platinum and platinum 1. No difference whatsoever on domestic.
