Failed both directions to SIN last month. 19/3: QF1 SYD-SIN (Y to J or Y+) 25/3: QF52 SIN-BNE (Y to J) Mrs DMar86 and I are both SG but no luck.

Does anyone have recent experience with *A lounges at BKK? From what I can tell, the SQ and BR lounges remain closed, leaving an assortment of TG lounges and TK. I presume the various massage offerings and spa facilities are still unavailable? Have a long layover between international TG...

Success Y to J, QF475 MEL-SYD, Monday 04/07/22 QF Gold Requested straight after booking and approved immediately

Requested upgrades in both directions BNE-ADL for Mrs DMar and I. FAIL: BNE-ADL, QF663, Thurs 03/06 (requested months in advance, officially denied at T-8). SUCCESS: ADL-BNE, QF664, Sun 06/06 (requested at T-40, confirmed immediately).

Scored 2 x business class reward seats on QF645 SYD-PER for a Sunday morning in October. Even better, booked during the recent 30% off classic rewards promotion. Now to hold our breath for the next 4 months and see whether QF swap it out for a 737.

Booked BNE-SYD-PER and PER-MEL-BNE in J for Mrs DMar and I in October. Couldn't find many widebody options direct from BNE, so happily paid the extra points to get SYD-PER on a 789 and PER-MEL on an A330. 159,600 points and $297 in taxes/fees. All refundable if anything goes pear-shaped or...

Happened to me last year. During last year's DSC offer, I booked BNE-MEL-ASP-AYQ and return for April 2019. MEL-ASP and ASP-MEL were subsequently cancelled, and Mrs DMar & I flew via SYD instead. Eventually called up and applied for ORC (moreso for Mrs DMar than I), by which time my membership...

How quickly is the loyalty bonus triggered upon reaching 500 SC? Based on current balance and forward bookings, I will go from 470 to 550 SC with a SYD-NAN flight (QF flight number, FJ metal) on April 27. Ideally I would use the loyalty bonus to retain SG before my April 30 anniversary date...

Between the delayed inbound QF29 today and the cancellation yesterday, that doesn't bode well for me on QF30 tonight.

Hoping for last minute success tonight HKG - MEL; Currently T-9 and no luck yet on Flex Y - W/J as SG. QF30 was cancelled yesterday, so perhaps more pax to accommodate.

Success QF127 SYD-HKG 03/01 Flex Y to Y+ as SG. Notified by text at T-28. Did not apply for J.

I'm in a similar situation on QF127 on 03/01. Noticed my option to reserve Y seating in the upstairs mini-cabin has disappeared. Also hoping my points upgrade request comes through, even though only SG.

Flying BNE-SYD 25/12. Received email on the weekend offering 50% off minimum bid price for flights on Christmas Day. Bid the minimum ($70) and was accepted almost immediately.

My booking on QF127 on 03 Jan still showing as an A380.

This would be due to Typhoon Hagibis, I presume.
