QF128 stuck in HK with a faulty generator. Qantas didn't call it until 12:45am, after 3 CX flights heading to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane had departed. They would have know the duty hours of the crew would be over well before then. Have to give it to the front line CS, trying to keep it...

Not quite, they have to be registered (by having BNO themselves or as registered dependant children of a BNO holder) for BNO before the handover to be eligible for BNO passport.

Wechat/Alipay have been and are been used by CCP to track the movements of their users as well. How else would CCP able to track down some 150k people within 48 hours of the Covid outbreak in Beijing?

I have been very lucky with the op-ups to Y+ in the last 24 mths and I'm just a QC silver. 6 return flights from SYD/MEL to HK, got 4 op-ups in the return legs. However, I have notice the times I was op-up'd I would have had 40C/D or exit row (back when it was auto selected without paying)in...

Just to add more confusion into the mix, I just got off the phone with Citibank, and they told me that because I had been Platinum/Qantas direct swipe programme since the beginning, the change to the earn rate will take affect on the 1st of July. This is different to what I have received in the...

Just got a letter today from Citibank telling me that from the 1st of April next year, the Citibank Qantas Rewards program will change to 1 point per $2 spent. This is applied to my Platinum card, and going from the website, it seems to dump down the platinum and push others to the new signature...

My best would have been the EK MEL-AKL, AUD$99 each way. Got the email offering J upgrade for AUD$130 to AKL, and then upgraded to F for free, so AUD$229 for F from MEL to AKL. On the way back, got the same offer for NZD$130 and upgraded to J.

After much waiting, my kit with PS and QP cards arrived today. Only 2 tags for PS.

I had 2 return trips to HK from Melb since Dec, and both of the return leg from HK was upgraded to Y+. The Y was fully loaded both times. I did have good seats in Y, once in 40C and the other in 46H. I'm just a PS.

Got back last week from HK, and the double SC came up within 2 days of the flights.

Got op up from Y to Y+ on my way back from HK on the 5th, and I did the OLCI the day before. Maybe that I was abit late to QF desk (5 minutes after the checkin closed :P, damn airport bus). Was hoping to continue the collection of the 40C BPs.
