It's happened to me as WP booked on QF whY. After being referred a couple of times to the QF lounge, I asked "So are you refusing me entry to the EK lounge?" and the said "No, we are just advising you to use the QF lounge." She was so firm about it that I think she would even have stood in...

Since the suspension of the codeshare agreement, pax with QF bookings seem to be getting automatically rebooked onto the NF flight number.....except that the whole situation is now compounded by the plane currently being used by NF on lease from Transavia has itself developed a mechanical issue...

Really enjoying following this thread, so yes please keep the updates coming. There's a real vicarious suspense factor now: will Qantas make our day, and actually come good on this, or are we all going to have to share the feeling of being let down?

I was there the other day, and the option was "facial" or "one of the massage treatments". I asked if I could do both, if at all there were slots available, and was told that only one treatment per pax. Which still, in my book, is pretty amazing....

Re: MEL First lounge joins PER RSA push Recently departed SYD for HNL, after a spa, shower, meal, drinks, barista coffee, comfort, AND pleasant welcomes/chat from all staff. Connecting flight was on UA, and got an upgrade to "First/Business". Won't say anything about the hard product for the...

On numerous occasions over many years I have been very very pleased with the way QF accommodated my needs. Seldom any compensation as such, but taking care of re-routing (often involving other OW carriers and taking the long way round) and enforced overnights has been very well handled. Also...

Just flew Cityflyer SYDMEL on a 738. At boarding, the agents had some specially printed red luggage labels with them that stated something like "This item must be stored underneath the seat in front of you.", and by implication, not in the overhead lockers. Perhaps I've missed them previously...

Exactly. I think I would be a more active contributor to this boards if there weren't so many examples of other high-minded posters making sarcastic or critical comments against posts that they consider to be irrelevant, wrong, trivial, or unnecessary. As you point out here, such are very...

I've been holding out on some bookings too....while this codeshare was on hold I had to do a few trips via NAN on FJ, which often involves an overnight on the way. crum: Nice weather now for evening shells of kava: let me know if you get some free time while in Vila!

From time to time there have been suggestions made here about QF employees (perhaps in various categories, esp. flight crew) getting together and buying enough QAN share to at least get a seat on the board. Did such suggestions have any merit? Why did the idea not gain any traction? Could...

Isn't the value of QFF integrally related to the perceived value of the QF brand? If, as many think, QF is itself in terminal decline, how could QFF be seen as a valuable asset by any potential buyer? Any announcement that involves (i) further cuts to QF services etc. etc. and (ii) full or...

I think my next flight in would have been eligible for double SCs, so let's hope that still applies as well. Looks like you must have made it to WP again, so congrats on that. I scraped in with 1220 after doing some D class flights on FJ. Will pm my phone number so there are no further lost...

It seems that VLI has been completely removed from the QF booking engine, beyond the end of Jan 2014, so the question of how "temporary" this suspension of the code-share service might be is still open. But without the QF codeshare, one would think that NF's competitive position against Virgin...

For quite a few years I have been crediting miles and SCs from FJ flights to my QFF account. My QFF number is usually included in the booking (the FJ website has a place for doing this), and flights have usually been credited automatically (albeit quite some time later) or on same occasions...

This is my post number 9.....trying to get to 10 so I can post a pic of the nice new FJ A330 J class cabin. Not quite lay flat, but very comfortable, and food is perhaps not so classy but very generous and satisfying. Whoops, at first it said I couldn't upload pix as only had 8 posts, so was...
