I arrived before the check-in desks were staffed with a colleague whose online check-in failed and told to see an agent at the airport. Fortunately there was an agent roaming around the bag drop area who was able to sort him out, so you should be fine regardless of arrival time.

I mostly fly Y domestically, and whilst in the past I might have moved to either 4A or 4F, now I tend to just stay in my usual 6A or 6F as a WP. On the triangle the flight time is negligible, you’re served first and there’s a much higher chance of my shadow sticking and having the middle seat...

I’ve had the opposite experience of late; flights on AA posted the next day, as did - gasp - JQ.

For Rome, I imagine it’s mostly O&D traffic - they’ve obviously got Emirates and (in a pinch) BA through LHR. Asia has always been a basket case - they’d seem to prefer routing through SIN and leverage Jetstar/3K. PR would also much rather own the longer sectors rather than just domestic (not...

9/8 - QF24 - Y -> J as WP at T-48 03/12 - QF11 - Y -> J as WP at T-60 11/12 - QF8 - Y -> J as WP at T-60 Fingers crossed for MEL-SIN-LHR in January, but reasonable luck of late. Fantastic crew on QF11 as well, dealing with an entitled passenger who couldn’t wait for her pyjamas (despite not...

I had an equally fun time flying from MEL-LAS on Sunday. At 2340 (I happened to be awake) received a text that my MEL-SYD flight had been cancelled and they were trying to find a flight. Given my upgrade had cleared on SYD-LAX I called up seeing if I could snag a flight on the 0600 service. This...

Experiencing this first-hand with my partner whose return LAX-MEL flight was cancelled owing to a mechanical fault and was rebooked via BNE two days later. Called up (using my FF number) and was told explicitly to book any accomodation 'that was reasonable' as she was in no mood to hang around...

9/8 BKK-SYD Y Flex -> J, WP and notified T-60.

I raised a case for my AS flight (MEL-SYD-LAX-AUS-DFW-SYD-MEL) with the only segment not posting (LAX-AUS) being AS. After some prodding and being told to submit boarding passes, I politely explained that had I not flown that leg, that the remaining segments would have been cancelled. Manually...

Seems a little strange - when I last flew AA booked on a QF codeshare (on a 737) I was given bulkhead which I believe is sold as MCE. Short flight into DFW, but couldn't manually select any other seats. Perhaps the US-based TA we are forced to use isn't completely terrible?

I don’t recall that always being the case - I’ve on several occasions been taken down the elevator to board rather than trekked back down via the stairs (definitely on a 380 flight to Singapore pre-Covid).

Any rough timeframe for AS? I flew both in April and whilst the AA came through within a couple of days, the AS flight is still nowhere to be seen.

From what others have mentioned, the time of upgrade request seems to no longer hold much weight in deciding upgrade priority (rather based on status and PCV/your spend on Qantas). As to splitting up the bookings into multiple PNR's and requesting each separately, it could certainly increase...

Can't imagine this is going to help with recent call centre delays... https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/bag-drop-darwin-runway-separates-qantas-london-passengers-from-their-baggage-20220503-p5ahy1.html Anyone onboard have their luggage offloaded? Not exactly a good look...

One partial and one successful on my two most recent flights: 18/04 - QF11 SYD to LAX (380 refurb) - Y to Y+ confirmed about 12 hours out. Business cabin was completely full, but got the bulkhead in Y+ and a free seat next to me so certainly no complaints (although that said economy looked...
