In general, yes. It's much harder to reach Gold and Plat (let alone P1) than VA, but the DSC promotions they've been running make it considerably easier. That said, you'd still need to fly quite a few times (if Y) to get to Gold or at least 2-4 return trips in Prem or J to hit Gold the first...

How often does VA run these DSC promos? I'm QF SG but with a lot more of my business travel going into Asia, I'm thinking I might try for a insta-plat run on the next promo.

Sent a private message and thanks :)

I'll take them! About to travel on the 13th :)

I thought there was a Wiki at the top of this thread to edit? Am I crazy or on the wrong forum. Anyway, I had a bunch of visits to the lounges in April that I wanted to guest people :)

Just flew a flight from SYD -> MEL and back. QF actually enforced the priority boarding and allowed the entire line to board before Y. Hope this is a sign of change.

Ugh, just got another work trip cleared - too late for DSC. It would have gotten me to platinum for the first time!

Forgot to say in my last post, but I don't think anyone else was agreeing with you about the window lock. I'm so glad they lock the windows.

Customs inspection is both random and specific. Specific in that they'll inspect you if you tick yes to any of the questions on the form. Random in that they'll also tell you to bring your luggage for customs inspection on a "random" basis. This is to ensure people don't simply smuggle stuff...

The front section is blocked off for Qantas/One World status holders (Gold, Plat, Plat One, OWS and OWE). Same as with the front row sections in Economy and Business. ------- In terms of meals, Prem Eco gets a menu and can select from 2-3 different options for the main and 2-3 options for the...

787 on BNE and A380 DFW. Yeah the question is mostly around whether the superior 787 product is better than getting a lie flat on the looong DFW flight.

This is really true. Before my current job, I never got to fly J or even Prem Eco. Because of work however, I now have SC status and fly Prem Eco regularly and really appreciate every aspect of the experience. Honestly, it's very exciting the first time you fly anything other than coughpy...

Hey All, Booked a work trip on Prem Eco Qantas specifically with a 787 and A380 in the segments because I've not flown on either before. I have enough points to request an upgrade on one of the two but am interested in everyone's opinion on which would be more "worthwhile". This will be my...

Been waiting for this! Booking my SYD -> BNE -> LAX -> LAS and back work trip now :)

Same here. Gonna book my trip if this is true.
