I received a new card (and AJ letter) for my February anniversary. I don't remember receiving one since pre-pandemic.

The UK accepts PCR or RAT for the pre-departure test. When I was at the Sydney checkin last week, the QF staff didn't know that, which caused chaos in the queue in front of me, with people having opted for the cheaper RATs. So if you have a PCR test, I think that's safer. Then Histopath has...

Why don't you order a special meal as a backup? If the one V option on the menu looks more edible, you can ask for that instead.

Has anyone seen the spa open in the SYD F lounge?

Hi, does anyone know if there are showers in the lounge?

I've been transitioned to tier "Platinum Zero" through February 2022. Zero status credits and zero chance of getting on a QF international flight to return home for a long time. I have benefited from short call centre waiting times and fast refunds for my QF-cancelled flights. I was offered...

QF cancelled my QF2/1 booking at the end of October yesterday. So they must not be expecting to fly any A380/F flights then.

As a positive data point, QF cancelled my return flight in late May and deleted it from my booking. I rang early on Monday morning NZ time and was offered a rebooking in a lower class or a refund. The refund took about 30 min to calculate, and I was told it would take three weeks to process...

They corrected the post. "This issue was mailed out to 40,000 Chairman’s Lounge, Platinum One and select Platinum Qantas Frequent Flyers and is available for everyone online. We hope you enjoy it."

QF1 SIN-LHR, new February menu. Key highlights - Humpty Doo appears to have run out of barramundi, and the pie has made it to F. :oops:

I'm up to 3000 tier points now, post retaining my QF P1 for another year, and GGL is still looking feasible if I allocate all my upcoming flights to BA. I've got my first joker, but I haven't tried to use it yet, given the need for all those remaining tier points.

I've had problems with QF CD in SYD - being told to take a taxi when they were busy due to weather issues - and LHR - double-booking me and mixing up bookings. One time I discovered the mix up when we were leaving the parking garage and the driver asked me if I had a particular route I wanted...

VGML?

It says reply ASAP with 1. Leave if there's a safe place, 2. Someone will be home, or 3. Take to a Post Office. The issue with the post office option is that they're only supposed to keep packages for a short period of time, although I've rung mine before and asked for an extension.

I received the text, delivery today. In true P1 form, it arrived shortly after I left home. AusPost has offered the intriguing offer of leaving it in a safe place - a $300 bottle of champagne?
