perhaps that's part of the problem - cabin staff don't want to have to deal with unhappy customer experience (being told to change queue) at the gate + on the plane - ground staff just walk away.

yeah I think a flight to HK last month they called for all the status gurus to board and that the remainder would be called shortly, I might be dreaming though. Domestic is still a total mess, full pleb line is usually faster.

Luggage/Bags on seats, drives me mental for some reason. Cannot process why your bag needs a seat - other than to stop someone else using the seat. Then when a lounge begins to fill and an announcement needs to be made for people to place their luggage on the floor... And to all the lemons who...

I was overcharged two stays in a row at an Intercontinental, so I emailed and pretty sure I spoke with the GM subsequently. Got it sorted and looked after me the next visit. But agree, the before and after emails are waste of space. Assumed that my status level caused the contact...

i thought the 2k was only to avoid account keeping fee? 10 separate txns was the trigger for the 10k bonus point allocation?

Ive just sent email, QFF gold here, wonder what I will become with VA...

Yeah no worries, a micro payment being $0.01?

Opened a new account and got my card, put some $ in the account and will transact tmrw. How long do the points take to flow through to QFF account? I think I will just close account after 10k has come through.

travelled a few times last week and confirm it still doesn't work in Sydney, Melbourne or Hobart. Just use the shortest queue, which is usually the economy one. Would be good if it worked, it doesn't for Qantas domestic for a variety of reasons it seems.
