This was an interesting flight, I felt for the crew. Good news is we landed approx 20 mins early into Melbourne. There was no catering on the flight. As we boarded it was suggested we purchase some food, too late for me and I didn’t eat in the lounge. Apparently the aircraft change led to a mix...

I’m on the 6 April flight in 2k at the moment! Nice surprise.

I agree with Fiona, I’ve done this flight a few times recently including this week in J. The checks etc are relatively quick, nice visit to the F lounge. Service in J very good. all of the passengers in my vicinity were heading to Perth, a few of us discussed the benefits of the flight. For me...

I am the P1 RichardMel met on the last EK flight to Auckland and back on Saturday. We had a lovely chat, he is the second P1 I have met and the other one was a random chat in Y on a Perth flight. The Briefing is so lacking in content, why bother. Providing a link to the benefits we already...

I’m doing a day trip tomorrow to pick up husband and have lunch with friends. He will be in J I will be in 2k. See you tomorrow.

my Husband will hit Platinum next month, he suggested I gift my Platinum to our friend with cancer on his final bucket list trips and I had to tell him not possible...

I’m on 2k on the Auckland - Melbourne flight on the 24th. Looks fowarrd to catching up.

I've booked for a status run on the 24th ex Melb. In 2k. Looking forward to meeting some fellow members. As my husband works in NZ for large chunks of the year, the F trips have been my indulgence for the last few years. I will miss them.

Thanks for all your replies, lots to consider. I'll probably keep flying internationally on Qantas for the meantime give my status, and I've already retain Platinum going forward even if I drop P1. Good to know about economy X.

Hi P1 on Qantas and very familiar with the program and have learnt a lot from this forum. Have been given a status match to platinum VA as work have changed preferred carriers. Have begun to study this forum but grateful for any tips or advice regarding the change. I generally fly domestically...

I am flying to Johannesburg on QF63 on 7 August. Looking for recommendations for seat selection on what appears to be the new configuration. I've presently selected 5B but have read mixed reviews of the seat and I am unsure if that is a good selection or not. I've selected 2A on the old first...

I was 7 status credits short prior to my flight to Canberra. By my 5pm flight home to Melbourne my boarding pass online had updated to P1 as had my profile online as my 10 status credits from the trip to Canberra had credited. I've applied for my husband to receive platinum status online. He...

Thanks for the tips re the simulator and the congratulations. Yes it's a lot of flying!

I hit Platinum One this morning on my Canberra flight. There it was displayed on my return flight to Melbourne. I've read this thread with interest as I knew I would likely reach the mark this year. I will be interested to see the difference from platinum which I've been for approx 6 years.

I had the sticky beef and pavlova in the Melbourne F lounge yesterday, they were lovely. The strangest thing I witnessed was a family bundling chips into serviettes as they were hurried out of the lounge to fly to Honolulu on JQ!! I also think that one was a 'minor celebrity'........
