My memory might be deceiving me, but I think VA made the same announcement on their 777 long haul flights?

I don’t mind if they change the darkness to “suggest” where they should be but the locking more often than not is frustrating. Especially that the windows have a “dim” feature maybe I want it a shade brighter so I can see out but minimise disturbance. I left off my first post the window issue...

Oh wow, maybe its only on the North America routes? I’ve only ever flown 787 to various NA destinations. But I have done this “many” times, maybe Ive just been unlucky?

I’ve had a problem with 787 windows for a while but after not having flown this aircraft for a bit then flying it again, made me realise both the issues with it and specifically how Qantas handles it. The window lock, every single QF 787 fight I’ve been on the flight crew either lock the window...

I haven’t flown long haul Y in 10 years, so I can’t really say 😂 But I did find PE even middle middle seat pretty comfortable. PE is what Y “should” be. If you are under 6ft I find it comfortable. A family member is over 6ft and said they can’t make the leg rest work for them. Previously I’ve...

Had exactly this happen to me on QF2. Went from bulkhead window seat in Y to middle seat middle row of PE and was considering trying to be downgraded back. They had actually filled Y too by then so there was no where to go. Despite that I actually had a somewhat comfortable flight.

Captain: “We will be touching down in BNE shortly, I hope you enjoyed your flight”. FO: Aren’t we going to MEL? Captain: Oh Sh**

To update, my +1 received upgrade from PE to J at the gate. No notification or anything prior. The gate staff didn’t even say anything. They scanned the BP it had an error “seating error” they picked up an already printed boarding pass scanned it and handed it over without saying anything. The...

Oh really? I believed if you did “upgrade a family member” they are assessed at your level. Not sure where I got that from but is that not the case?

QF Platinum here, myself and a no status family member are traveling on QF75 tomorrow on seperate bookings. I requested upgrade from premium economy to business for both of us via my account at almost exactly the same time from my account. I received an upgrade at T-72, however my +1 still now...

That is a good upgrade! Which leg?

This partnership certainly plugs some holes in their network (ie Canberra) hopefully comes with decent status benefits and some redemption options.

As just a regular platinum: QF291 08/03 X (economy) - success QF292 10/03 X (economy) - success

I did consider this option, unfortunately QF don’t fly on my preferred dates resulting in additional travel days that I don’t want. Also I prefer air travel to train travel, but if it worked out I would do this. Doubt it, I tried all different combinations with plenty of time for connection 3+...

Hello, wasn’t sure exactly the best place to ask this. I am trying to fly Sydney to Busan (return) on oneworld airlines, ideally Qantas taking me the majority of the way (I want to be able to upgrade with points). The most appropriate I have been able to find is Syd > HND (QF) and HND - PUS...

Thank you for the informative reply

Hello, I will be travelling on QF 76 departing YVR (Vancouver) as Qantas Platinum. Is there any lounge access available for this flight? I know there is a CX lounge at pier D but I have no idea if QF leaves from the same location?

At the hilton garden inn sg the sensor looks like a security motion sensor. Rectangle with a matt screen on the front angled towards the centre of the room. At Hilton orchard road Singapore, it was more discreet, I want to say it was like a small circular thing in the ceiling but I could be...

This is really testing my loyalty to Hilton. I stay at “all” the Hilton properties in Singapore and I may find a new chain after this. The HGI is unbearable, the orchard road Hilton isn’t as bad as HGI but still makes for an uncomfortable stay. I’ve been staying at Conrad centennial but at over...

Pointsdude effectively said what I want to say. To add my take, as Ive been deciding if I should switch from Ultimate to Platinum for a while now so I’ve given it a lot of thought. Key points: the ultimate card has a better earn rate (about 11% better? If someone could do the real maths and...
