    Free ALL Gold Status for QF Silver or above - also Points Club Plus

    for what it's worth, from my end: I clicked the link on the email and ended up on the accor website, where it put me on Fast Track, as I mentioned earlier. I then used the link to the QF website provided earlier in this thread and got the QF email saying I've now been registered for ALL Gold...

    Free ALL Gold Status for QF Silver or above - also Points Club Plus

    Does your ALL status show as "fast track"? I think I had the same issue: I'm P1, was already linked, tried to subscribe and didn't get gold instantly, just fast track silver (as I was ALL silver already). Hadn't realised I'd have to wait a month. Happy to book as I'm not traveling until...

    Free ALL Gold Status for QF Silver or above - also Points Club Plus

    P1, clicked on the email link, just got a "subscribe now" button, and just shows I'm on fast track with still my ALL silver status, no ALL gold yet. Wonder what happened there, will check in a few days in case it changed.

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    same boat, P1 expires 31st May, booked classic reward flights for July on 24th May, no change in status so far, thinking of ringing by Friday - though some replies here about waiting are calming to an extent :)

    Platinum sitting in economy - Do the airlines pay extra attention to us?

    Got recognised once this year, apart from upgrades, on a SYD-MEL in 4C the CM said hi and shook my hand and that of the pax in 4D (also P1 from what I could see). When flying EK I usually get the cabin staff come and say hi. I don't get any extra food or amenity kit, but nice gesture.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    got some 2002 Rare (L1 on the envelope, is that supposed to mean anything?), wasn't expecting it, I was wondering why Qantas wine was sending me something again :) I won't requal as P1 any time soon I don't think, so this year so far has been good in terms of perks, main one being the 1st class...

    QF 9 loads Ex PER versus Ex MEL

    you can fly EK metal on QF code and get SC and points. When you make a multi-city booking on the QF website you need to look at the results for each leg and then look at "other flights" (or similar option for each leg) as by default the QF website will try and put you on a QF metal flight. You...

    QF 9 loads Ex PER versus Ex MEL

    for what it's worth, for me there would also be considerations around travelling in economy (and even premium from what I read) and not wanting to spend 17 hours in a row in a cramped seat, after the MEL-PER leg. I fly MEL/SIN/DXB/Europe in Y (on EK's 380s) to break down the flight time to 7...

    QF seat advice please

    depends, on day flights I prefer aisle access, night flights I prefer being window so I don't get bumped by/hear people in the aisle

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Thanks RichardMEL. I was in paid J, yes, employer-related travel. Only been plat for 2-3 years, then P1 since May (my year starts 1 June, got P1 3 days before end of May), so compared to some here like yourself, I'm just a baby P1. I could see some obvious travel progression from the QF point...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    P1 since June, got 2 business upgrades on 4 domestic flights, and shadow on row 4 on the other two, dinner and private tour at the NGV, and just last week got to fly first class for the first time ever, on LAX-MEL A380 seat 1A, thanks to a free upgrade when I got into the lounge in LAX. That was...

    For fun - Your smallest points & SC's from a flight?

    MEL-CBR, flew up, circled for 2 hours (felt like it at least) due to fog, then flew back without landing in CBR. No credit or flight appearing in the log :D

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    woohoo, got to LTG :) Still P1 for 10 months so will enjoy that first, but it's nice to know I'll have LTG to fall back on :)

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Got a shadow on MEL-CBR on row 4, and upgrade from row 4 to 1C on CBR-MEL. Bit of a waste on such a short trip, but as it was my 1st month of P1, I appreciated it :) Also got the NGV dinner in Melbourne, that was quite nice as well.
