Hi, Tossing my hat into the ring also. After many years of travel, in recent times I've watched as my status has dropped to almost nothing. In January off with family to the Philippines with QF. My son who is 19 has received a free lounge pass offer from QF finding it funny that that leaves my...

Don't believe family transfer counts. https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/program/points-expiry

Just speaking of my own flying pattern, I tend to fly a couple of times a week, then when I get a work engagement based in my home town it can drop to zero for a year or more. Not typical, but certainly not too unusual a pattern. I have recently added an entry in my calendar for 15 months time...

But looking on the positive side 18 minutes is not too bad, think how long it would take to get answered if you were calling for new PS ones

Shock :lol:

I'm amazed she new anything about Wales. I'm originally from Wales and 30 years ago I spent 9 months living in Indiana. Every bar I'd go into the conversation would take a familiar line. First they'd say, 'Ah you're from England' to which my first response was 'Yes' as that was the easiest...

I have to fly 50 weeks a year at the back of plane to stand any chance of maintaining Plat - and that ain't gong to happen this year. Your's sounds a far more pleasant way to achieve it, consider me suitably jealous ;)

If someone wants to fly me to Rome in F I'm happy to accept any proposal. Good luck.

Firstly, all the best RR. Good luck. I've only looked at QF on Twitter once, which was about a year ago when I was stuck on the tarmac in MEL for an hour. Although there wasn't much info about that particular delay there were plenty of other tweets and I was amazed at nearly all the QF replies...

The thing that gets me is you can see from a story such as this that it really doesn't take a huge effort to deliver a great customer experience. Why is it then that companies, not just QF, seem to miss out on so many opportunities to get this sort of recognition at what would be a low cost to...

About 2 years ago I hired a car from Hertz, Paris to Milan. Checked it all over, no real issues. When I handed it in at Milan they went over it like forensic scientists. Among many things they did was open the boot, take out the floor to check the spare tire. Whilst the tire was ok, the jack and...

As one who is always at the back of the plane I had no idea that an airline could sell you J, put you in Y and then just say "tough luck". If I had paid for J and that happened to me I would be pretty pissed off to put it mildly. You're obviously a frequent flyer of status, so if this is how...

This quote is attributed to Peter Cook in his biography. Whoever did first say it, still a classic.

Well I'll have to use my el cheapo ones for takeoff and then revert to NC afterwards. Whilst I agree with the sentiment behind this rule the reality is I don't think it's going to make me hear any more than I currently do. What I hear is more about what I focus on rather than what type of...

Well I called Qantas who said I wasn't eligible for bonus SC on that particular booking as my booking was made on Nov 24 and I accepted the offer on Nov 25. But the reality was I made the booking on Nov 25, 10 minutes after having accepted the offer. I think the confusion came about as my Amex...
