    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Does anyone know how they allocate seating on QFLink? I checked-in for a flight and was down in 11A (that's the highest seat number I've had in a while!!). I was able to change to 1B but there were limited choices ahead of R11. On boarding I was one of only few status passengers (no other...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I'm a little confused by your response here. Yes, consistency isn't a strong suit of QF, however they do consistently deliver the key benefits touted for P1 (access to VIP team, priority boarding, priority seat selection, partner platinum, etc). As RichardMEL states, the majority of the...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Out of curiosity what do you actually want? Is it to feel recognised and important or you actually need assistance (which can be arranged)? I have never had a need for assistance on return to Sydney as the e-gates are quick and often find myself standing around for a good 10 mins waiting for...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I've been invited (plus guest) to the welcome home of the Australian Paralympic team on September 11 in Hangar 96. Unfortunately clashes with work events (7.30am - 10.30am) so cannot attend but the gesture is nice. Now, how do I get an invite to the Bledisloe....

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Coming back to this I have been offered it on my flight today. It suggests a busy period so I guess that’s why. No predicted weather issues. Interesting given it’s a mid afternoon flight on a triangle route.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Interesting. The times that I have noticed it there hasn't appeared to be any issues (e.g. weather) but if I'm honest, I haven't had the need to use it so don't really look out for it. Will see whether it's there next week.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    From memory it's also on the app on same day of travel. I can't remember if you need to be checked in or not. I can look next week (if I remember) when I have my next flight and see if it gives me any options to change

    Well some of the patrons I saw in the Sydney CL confirms your comment! Amazingly they were people legitimately there

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I did just that. Awkwardly I was travelling with a colleague that didn’t have lounge access so took them to the business lounge and then moved swiftly into the CL. My colleague understood. A couple of pics. The Ramen was very nice and a huge step up to the slop that was being served in the...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF typically not that much different. generally in the A$10-$20 range. You will on occasion get a wine or two a little higher than this.

    Just received my first CL invite. My flight is Thursday evening from Syd at around 7pm which I would have thought considered somewhat peak so surprised to receive the invitation!

    They do send out physical cards (well did last year) as I got one which aligns to my current expiry. I did not request this

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    First time only (as far as I'm aware). Have been P1 since 2019 and received it once. Only things proactively sent have been the Xmas gifts (except for one of the COVID years) and the recent bag tag. I wonder if you get it again if you drop from P1 and then requalify a few years later...? The...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Ah. I actually haven’t opened it up to be honest. Will look later today when back home. Though seems rather hidden there. You’d have to effectively open the tag to see the name Edit: can confirm same at WP tag image. I still stand behind my comment that it’s tucked away and you’d need to open...

    Interestingly these new tags have nowhere to put your name etc. so qf have clearly realised that people are just using these to identify their status and made them accordingly.

    How close would you have to get to consider a status run to P1?

    To answer the question of the thread title - I'd say about 10 SC's away.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well tickle me pink. Another VIP upgrade this evening. That's 3/3 on recent domestic flights (my first domestic flights in a long while). QF clearly know I don't enjoy sitting down the back. I think I need to go and buy a lotto ticket now.
