    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    It's more than a few months. I would say the J menu's haven't changed substantially in about 5 years with the exception of some route specific dishes. The meals I've had this year going to various destinations have been extremely similar to those from 2018/19. I had to laugh when I saw a NP...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I agree with the sentiment and would like it for myself however with QF introducing LTP I can never see them doing this. If it was only 600 SCs to WP once you reach LTG then there is even less of an incentive to try and get to LTP as you could easily get to an effective LTP by earning the...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    AusPost delivered the goods last night (Saturday night and the poor postman looked knackered). Gin looks nice and would appear to be a small batch just for P1s. I certainly don’t think it’s something that’s just been rebranded / re-labelled. It also came with a ‘collectors’ edition Qantas mag...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Wow. Still 2 trips with only three weeks remaining. I’m impressed. Regardless of DSC or not, still a solid total that I honestly never want to come close to (no offence). It’s a lot of flying.

    If I may be as so bold, but how in the devil did you get to 12k on QF (as in what’s your travel pattern / class, was there DSC involved, etc)? I remember another LTP on this forum that got to that kind of SC for a year and I did not envy his travel patterns.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I appear to be having @RichardMEL's Sendle delivery issues but with AusPost! The P1 gift was scheduled for delivery Tuesday, then revised to Thursday with auspost notifying that it was onboard to be delivered yesterday. New update (after it didn't arrive yesterday) is that it's been 'delayed'...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well I'll give it a comparison to the QF100 that I also have in the cupboard to see whether it's just a relabelled or new gin. Given at places like Archie Rose you're able to create a single bottle of your own gin it would be pretty easy for QF to get Four Pillars to make a few thousand of a...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    As in a new unique blend for P1’s? Hopefully aptly named Four Pillars - DYKWIA Or it’s still the QF100 they’ve relabelled?

    This is a very disappointing development. Might have to go and drink some of that rubbish Taittinger they gave me a few years ago 🤪 Curious as to what gin it is - the four pillars QF100?

    Personally I've found leaving it opened and out on the bench for 24-48 hours really brings out it's true potential

    Platinum One people - what’s your job/business?

    Can I ask why you bother with QF then given 90% of your flights are not on QF metal so would think that any 'benefit' of P1 is largely redundant (e.g. VIP Services Team)? Based on your travel pattern I would have thought Skywards or BAEC would have been better.

    Platinum One people - what’s your job/business?

    No need to take a pay cut, just move to industry and you should at least be on even money or be able to get a pay raise. Then in your new role hire consultants to do the work ;)

    Platinum One people - what’s your job/business?

    I have considered BAEC but feel that even reaching WP could be a challenge in certain years due to my travel being unpredictable (both in terms of quantity and location). My travel policies have always been QF as well (due to rebates mentioned up thread). Ultimately for me I have realised that...

    Platinum One people - what’s your job/business?

    Given there are only a few responses here on actual jobs, I'll provide some information. Again to keep it somewhat vague, I'm a management consultant that is still reasonably early in my career. The vast majority of my travel is employer / client funded and is highly dependent on the project. My...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Correct. I was on the flight. Captain came on to explain that due to the prior late arrival of the 1 from Sydney that they had to delay to allow for min Tech crew rest (cabin crew UK based so not an issue on their end). They apparently tried to find alternate tech crew but that didn't play out.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Currently in the lounge. Menu same as up thread. Have enjoyed a decent meal of the duck salad, guo bao and then the burger. Champagne is Pommeray and piper. Still not making coughtails other than what’s on the menu (despite having all the ingredients for a negroni 😡). They were happy to make a...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    You left out: - bags turning up (ideally less than three weeks post flight) - getting what you actually paid for (e.g. meal in business class) - getting through to the call centre as a P1 in less than 25 mins - dealing with QF staff without attitude Ah, the great memories!

    QF A380 back in service from January 11

    Thanks for the information. So the post above stating OQG is in AUH from 29 July isn't correct then?
