    Double Status Credits 2013

    And they even have a new symbol to use to indicate that the Service Credits were not credited in the current membership year (I can't seem to copy it here) - but the words say "Status credits for this flight are not included in the current year total".

    Upgrade to First came through - I'm so excited!

    I've had first host greet me in arrival when I've had connections and taken me there in a buggy. If you don't have any connections I'm not sure what they would do on arrival.

    AMEX Platinum Fine Hotels and Resorts benefits - experiences?

    It really depends on the hotel. I've stayed at the sky suites in Las Vegas twice on FHR rates. Once booked a one bed suite and was upgraded to a 2 bed suite. Booked a 2 bed suite the next time and was upgraded to a 6,000 sq ft monster of a suite.

    Classic award to RTW

    They did this for me a couple of years ago. I had the Syd-LHR and LHR-JFK booked in f and asked them to convert to a rtw when the Lax to Syd was bookable. No issues. Careful of ROM - Syd though. Not sure of QF code shares on emirates can be used on a ow rtw award.

    Infants In Premium Cabins

    I know some people that get around this whole issue by travelling in F and leaving the kids in Y with the nanny. I wouldn't call it parenting though :-). I agree with the sentiments of a lot of people on here. I am often more offended by adults than kids.

    Double Status Credits

    No idea how they decide if you get it. I got one for APR through JUN in march where my year ends in April. When I received it I had about 1700scs for the year. Perhaps they thought I'd shoot for partner gold?

    Revised guesting conditions

    In fact far better than the Concorde room .... Not sure how anyone could even compare a BA F lounge :-). But you can go there if flying BA.

    Flexi saver and no-show

    And if I was on on M class fare and wanted to move to a later flight same day without changing prior to the original departure time?

    Flexi saver and no-show

    I was flying home to SYD from MEL yesterday and had a 6:30pm departure booked (flexi-saver). I didn't call to change, turned up at the airport around 7 and moved to the 7:30 flight. Just out of interest, I checked the fare rules and they state that you can only change before departure and not...

    MH / BA query for WP QFF.

    You won't find a shower in the BA lounge at CDG ....

    Upgrade Priority. Staff vs. Paying Passenger

    You need to distinguish crew from other staff. A QF staff member travelling for business purposes would be given a seat just like a fare paying passenger. I assume also that once you start getting higher in management the benefits improve and someone on leisure travel would trump a FF upgrade...

    Jump to the front of the queue for the new Qantas Card

    But why join a queue voluntarily? I think one of the main reasons I maintain status is so I don't have to join queues. Bad marketing. Instead they should say "avoid the queue" and then every FF would sign up.

    Upgrading from J to F on A380

    To be honest I think you'd be mad not to. Dine with your wife in her suite or yours. You get to sit together for a good portion of the flight. My wife and I loved it. We did a RTW in first for our honeymoon last year. We went to London, Paris, New York, Las Vegas and Barbados over a month...

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    They weren't treating it with the respect it deserves either. I saw quite a few people with quarter of a red wine glass of it, take a sip and then tip it ! Heathens.
