    Priority economy seat purchase for WP/WP1

    I think it’s the word ‘priority’ that I don’t quite get. It reads to me like they’re saying ‘you get priority to buy a seat that doesn’t exist’ rather than what they mean which is ‘we’ll let you buy a seat that will only exist when we throw someone else off the flight’.

    Priority economy seat purchase for WP/WP1

    I was speaking to reservations about another matter and asked about this. I was told that, essentially, Qantas would let you buy a seat on a full flight and some unfortunate person would get bumped off. I still don’t quite see how the wording from the website matches that reality. In my case a...

    Priority economy seat purchase for WP/WP1

    Has anyone used this benefit or knows how it works? One leg of a trip that I’m looking at is sold out in economy - does this benefit give me the ability to buy a seat on this flight? If so do I need to call Qantas or can I do it via the website?

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Personally i would prefer being able to send an email to the SST and let them sort it out. This is what I was hoping they’d gone back to.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Not true - in the early days of P1 I used to always go through the SST for award seat requests. Then it changed to having to go through premium reservations. Then the info from GoldCanyon was that he/she was able to go via the SST - which I’ve just found that I can’t do

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Well. I just tried my first email request - and got a quick reply along the lines of “contact the premium reservations team”. Seems like that route is only open to some P1’s and it’s back to the telephone for this one.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I can also confirm this - have done it many times as a WP1

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Is this a recent change? I used to email the SST but then, maybe a couple of years ago was told by the SST that I had to phone up the reservations people. Personally I much preferred being able to email the SST.

    QF 7 questions

    I think you’re referring to the 747 configuration here, whereas QF7 is an A380. Personally I tend to pick window seats nowadays (13 K yesterday on QF7) as the extra storage and shelf space is very convenient, no one steps over you and it’s fairly easy to step over the aisle passenger without...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    J to F op up on QF2 last Wednesday - no message from the P1 team on boarding pass so I’m presuming this was a genuine op up and being P1 put me towards the front of the queue

    First / Business award availability - London flights

    QF released some seats in J for me on QF9 (PER - LHR) flying out early April next year (I requested three different dates and they all came back approved). This was at about 350 days out as a WP1. However the return flights are proving trickier with QF being unwilling to release seats on QF10 or...

    Perth terminal 1 Qantas Lounge

    I walked past the QF lounge on Tuesday evening (on my way to the EK lounge for the 22:20 flight) and I’m pretty sure there were people in it. This was about 9:30pm

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Just to update on my experience with requesting seats to be released. All very positive - I asked for a variety of options for PER - LHR next March April in J, for my wife (WP travelling alone), and me and my daughter (travelling together). Every option we asked for was released. the interesting...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Do you ask for award seats via the P1 team or via the premium reservations team? Just wondering, as i’m going to have some requesting to do shortly

    QF announce non-stop Perth-London B787 Services

    I’d be interested in getting people’s views on this - I had a look at some dates 11-12 months out and couldn’t see any J award availability. Anyone else had any luck (or tried to request release of seats)?

    QF - EK relationship status for QFF

    For Op Ups do you know if they differentiate between QFand EK when looking at fare paid? Ie where would a flexible QF ticket sit in the ranking?

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    To offer another perspective. I was P1 from the start and have racked up 40k+ LTSC. However. early into my membership last year I realised that I was going to have about 6 months of not flying and so would be unlikely to requalify. I took this as the catalyst to change how I travel - essentially...

    Shiraz in Shiraz

    Re: Shiraz in Shiraz: Street feast Prices for the visa on arrival have regularly gone up over the last couple of years. This price was valid for a visa on arrival with an Australian passport a couple of days ago (I'm typing this from Tehran). There is also the insurance - unless you can prove...
