    Qantas and RSA in J International what is the Go?

    I don't think Brisbane J Lounge is self service - may have changed in the past couple of months (or time of day).

    SEAT MAPS "Real Time"

    Expertflyer is my go to site, however a subscription is required. https://www.expertflyer.com. If you nominate the dates of intended flights on your post the fellow members of AFF will generally post a "live" seat map for you. The seat map may not reflect your actual QFF/OW status though...

    Is QF considering Lifetime Platinum?

    A thread I participated in a few years ago discussed an idea for QF to consider whereby LTG's would only require 600SC's per year to re-qualify for WP (or 800SC's to achieve WP status). For those LTG's who wish to remain/obtain WP status, then this scheme would ensure at least some maintenance...

    Seat selection issues on Qantas website?

    For the last few days, using Chrome, I have not been able to view Seat Selection, however it works fine on IE. I have reset Chrome history but to no avail. My inability to view using Chrome would not appear to be connected to the Amadeus issues affecting QF today given the timing.

    2016 US Presidential Election and Fallout

    Re: 2016 US Presidential Election I am currently holidaying in NYC and have bookings to travel down to Washington dc for the day to experience the atmosphere at the swearing in of Donald Trump - should be an interesting experience, especially if there are, as expected, leftie type deniers in...

    Qantas Below the Wing Tour - 9 August 2016

    The tour was fantastic - a very big thanks to Qantas for this wonderful opportunity. All aspects of the tour were fantastic and the effort that Qantas put into the planning made for a very smooth operation. A very special thanks Leah, David and the whole accompanying Qantas team, the A380...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I've been thinking about the general observations of the AFF'ers and ABT editorials regarding what could generally be summarised as "What else after achieving QFF LTG?". I'm thinking that (selfishly - guilty) maybe QF could look at capturing that LTG loyalty by offering an effective WP1...

    No more Platinum shadow?

    Whilst shadows aren't an entitlement for WP or WP1's, they are still provided from time to time for WP's (not by ringing up though) and fairly often (subject to loading) for WP1's. Haven't heard of a WP being able to ring up and request a shadow though. I find that Row 5 appears to score...

    Qantas lounge shoe policy - this is concerning

    I think NZflygirl's moniker gives it away Cuzzy Bro!

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    Yay - finally, LTG after 13 QFF years, although most SC earn in past four years. Recently had one year at WP1 - the more than occasional complimentary Op Ups were an extremely appreciated Plat 1 Team gesture during my WP1 year - many special thanks to QF for that. For a techo neanderthal, I...

    What the water.....

    Makes sense. QF605 BNE-MEL had the same little fellas yesterday, although QF632 return yesterday arvo had reverted to the 250ml bottles (new supplier though, not the Mount Franklin bottles).

    Qantas lounge shoe policy - this is concerning

    I fully support QF on their lounge dress code. The lounges belong to Qantas - private company. They are entitled to set the dress rules as they see fit (subject to any statutory obligations) and to adopt discretion on a case by case basis as they feel warranted. There is a strong sense of...

    If 2016 is the year QF reclaims "Enhancement", what do they need to Enhance??

    Allowing WP's to select Rows 4/5 (738's) and Row 23 (A330's) outside T-80 would be the best "re-enhancement" for me personally. Reintroduction of MASA's? I think the commercial realities suggest otherwise, although I gotta say, they did encourage status aspiration/retention and therefore...

    Tipping problem in LAX TBIT Lounge [is back]

    Re: TBIT 'Qantas' Business Lounge - extremely confused, as are staff I make a habit of handing a few bucks to the shower attendees in the FL at TBIT - the general response has been one of surprise as opposed to the typical US expectation of receiving gratuities.

    P1 and Granting Partner Platinum

    Same story here - Mrs Willy dropped from partner WP back to PS today. Had she not accepted Partner Platinum, she would still be SG under her normal renewal qualifying SC's - we tend to accumulate SC's at specific times of the year, and this oversight of the rules has now caused much angst in...
