It was indeed OJH, complete with its old ratty paint job. Check out the pics on smh.com.au - could do with a respray imho. Compare it to the pics of the arrival of the British olympic team on a BA 747 named 'Pride'. I wonder if a quick rename (and/or new paint job - it looks pretty fresh) was...

This appears to be spot on QF policy. I spoke to QFF Service ctr and they remarked that Mrs Xsprint's 'PG' card was due to be sent out on 3 sept (hers/mine anniv date is 31Aug). Apparently they wait until the status renewal date to determine if the member will achieve QP status in their own...

Hi All, Mrs Xsprint has partner gold status which is due to expire 31Aug07. Now since I have achieved enough SCs for Partner Gold as of 19Jul07 and intend for her to once again receive it, in the interests of time can QF just 'roll it over' for another year rather than me filling out the...

Update - Since I was near LHR T4 today at the hilton I walked across to BA ticketing and asked the question. The BA staffer did indeed confirm it was a POS issue for the TA in Sydney and then proceeded to book me on to BA177 'no problems whatsoever sir'. Also confirmed that for BA once the...

Hi All, I'm travelling on a DONE4 and the homeward bound sectors planned include LHR-JFK... I wanted to book on to (ideally) BA177 from LHR but would quite happily travel earlier that day Heres the status for BA177 on 9/July F3 A1 J9 C9 D9 I0 W9 T8 Y9 B9 ....and here is BA175 earlier same...

I have a J booking LHR-HEL to make and can choose from AY or BA metal. I am quite familiar with BA's club Europe (not thrilling) but whats the common perception of AY service in the premium end? Better, same, worse? Both fly A320s on this run... thanks, XS

I would have thought QF's online checkin will be similar to BA's. I have used BA's version extensively over the past 6 mths and it pre-allocates seating in zones of the aircraft based on your status. For example as a OW saphire/emerald I have yet to be pre-alloc seats past the wing (traveling Y...

Sorry quite right, the flight is LHR-SYD-LHR QF32/QF31. This means departure time of around midday from LHR which probably isn't late enough to expect the flight to post on the following day. If it was BA metal on the other hand.... a nice 24hr delay in posting of points / SCs would have been...

Hi all I'm travelling LHR-SYD in I on QF31 on 31st August which happens to the last day of my membership year for QFF. Date of travel not negotiable unfortunately as its a wedding I'm attending the day after arrival. Any suggestions for having the SCs / points roll into the new membership...

I ended up cancelling this on the web, got my £50 worth of taxes back.... Much more interestingly, I appear to have been credited the FF points and 60 SCs for the first sector of this return flight (LHR-LIN) yesterday that I didn't even take! The return sector has disappeared from my booking...

Hmmm I'm pretty sure I saw what I saw (re: Platinum freq flyer access), but will check again on Wednesday when I pass through Until then! XS

You're talking about the Terminal 1 arrivals lounge right? Would make sense being BA only I guess. The arrivals lounge in T4 on the other hand has a sign out the front saying BA Exec Club Gold, First Class, Club World; and on the same sign underneath it: Qantas First, Business and Platinum...

Gents, thanks for the feedback - alas the date and destination would be changing hence no train travel Euro style on this occasion. Spoke to the boss about the non-ref ticket, he joked: "feel free to give me the £250 cash in advance next time you think about a non-changeable...

By the way; ticket was purchased on BA.com cheers, XS

Arghh! I have purchased my first restricted condition ticket for work and now I am reminded why its such a gamble with even just a 10% chance of things changing... Ok, so I went and purchased a LHR-LIN (Milan) return in club-europe for GBP290. eTicket endorsements are stated as: Pax...
