At AKL alone approx 400 flights cancelled yesterday. Air NZ reports over 500 cancelled flights. Rain has eased in Auckland but still windy. Air NZ due to resume AKL flights from midday today (but probably not all routes as still rough weather in eastern North Island and upper south island)...

Don't get too excited. LH has lots of lounges but some you won't have access to unless flying F or have HON status, some inaccessible due to wrong side of schengen/non-schengen. AC lounge is quite good (or was pre-covid as I haven't been back since).

It's extra-tropical now but heavy rain and high wind warnings for all of the north island and upper south island.

Air NZ has cancelled all regional flights for upper and central North Island (KKE, WRE, AKL, HLZ, TRG, ROT, TUO, GIS, NPE) starting from 12th pm through to 14th am, has cancelled all AKL domestic flights between 6am 13th to 14th am, and most AKL international arriving or departing flights for...

I expect the 2023 thread will be longer than that if there is no 2023 qff dsc offer!

SQ is worse. Their newest suite (now several years old) has separate bed and chair, and the chair swivels.

Or ex-nz for more scs for lower fare than ex-oz.

This. My experiences over the past year is urgent emails to vip team do not get responded to (at all). 3 trips ago (late December 2022), when I had to reschedule (due to recovery from covid taking too long) the day before travel with 6am departure, I called vip team.

Correct. There were also sleep rooms.

We do get qf newsletters in the eastern isles, maybe once a year. Usually includes promotions only available to Oz residents (ie they don't customize for non australians).

I didn't receive the newsletter (as usual in the eastern isles) so presumably fine to continue with emailing the vip team when needed.

Once again no newsletter in the eastern isles.

Surprised they still ask for physical card. I last received one (from any airline or hotel programme) in 2019.

I haven't received half pours for bubbles in the QF F lounge.

I suspect it also needs registered address to be in Australia.

Or just drop off someone with the first car load of bags to watch over them until you return.

Correct. No QFF points or SCs. It is charter flight and origin to destination distance is 0km.

Years ago I took this adl-adl flight, albeit on qf 747. Was great fun. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-reports/395111-champagne-figure-eights-ice.html

Auckland doesn't have a curfew. It is WLG and ZQN that have curfews.

I guess this was only for Oz residents?
