Thanks so far everyone. My gut feel is we'll be OK assuming the YYZ flight is on time, and it becomes BA's problem ( Mine too!) if they miss my connection. I think they'll find me a seat on AY if push comes to shove and, frankly, in this case I'd take a downgrade to Y in order to get there...

We come in from Toronto, arriving 0625 31st Oct. AisleSeat - your comments encourage me greatly - particularly if I stay with the BA flight as I wouldn't have to collect luggage. I'd be taking a massive punt that the Toronto flight is on time though and I'm not really a big fan of tight...

Hi Himeno and Thanks. I suppose the thing I'm really after is how long does the whole " Get off plane, walk to TX bus, get to other Terminal, get through security etc" actually take? Have you done it and do you recall roughly how long it took. I'm struggling for options if this isn't...

Nothing later at all. But that's according to QF - I'll check BA. Thanks for the reply. As said - it's BAs change so if it goes ugly it's theirs to fix. The real problem occurs in Helsinki the following day if I don't get there as I've got an internal flight to catch up to the Arctic circle.

I've just been subjected to an involuntary itinerary change on a BA leg from Toronto to Helsinki via Heathrow. BA's change. Originally was a 5Hr layover, but now is 90 minutes. The ticket is a Qantas Frequent Flyer "Classic Oneworld Award" in J for 2 of us. So - How does this work, it's...

My situation is pretty much the same as you. I got to P1 for the first time and LTG on the same flight last month. But now I'm pretty much no longer flying frequently, I've decided to stop working as much so I'll just have LTG when I do fly. I imagine I'll have P1 for the next 16 months, then...

Can't say I've ever seen baggage lockers there, but I can ask my daughter to go and have a look if you like!! I'd go with the cruise company's office for sure IF there is one. Most of them just run out of the Tourist Bureau.

You'll be very lucky if they allow the early drop. Can't hurt to have a crack though. The times I've been on that flight there's pretty much been no-one at the counter until about 90 minutes before departure. Which has severely limited lounge time. Not that the lounge is anything special

I reckon it cost me $70K to get to LTG, got there last week, took about 7 years. I've got zero hope, or interest, in making it to LTP at those rates!!

To quote Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels. "I'll find ya" ;)

Yeah, yeah. Rain on my parade why don't ya. ;)

Beaut. This won't be good. I just made P1 for the first time last week, LTG on same flight. I'm extremely glad they can't take that away from me. My flying is going to be pretty much non-existent from now on due to impending retirement. I spent the majority of my points about 4 months ago on...

If anyone believes that the 2009 recession ( ? ) was the worst one in Australia in 80 years then I doubt they were alive or an adult during the glory that was Keating.

Bummer. I'm coming in from Perth at 0530 on 11th, then doing my combined P1/LTG attainment status run to AKL and back, returning around 1800ish then going straight home on the last flight to TSV. Otherwise I would've loved a drink. OTOH, if anyone's in the BNE INT lounge AM 11/6 or the AKL J...

So far it's been too long to read but let's not forget that the QFI "Business" lounges are really just the international version of the QP, ie SG and QP members are also eligible for entry.

I’m reasonably sure the 50SC won’t count to requal anyway. Only to total status credits over your lifetime. I’d be looking for a cheap 20, I were you.

I’ve NEVER had my bags come out in the first 10 in all the time they’ve had priority tags on them, either domestic or international. In fact they’ve actually not even made the flight twice. Once Dom and once Int. Wife’s bag usually comes out before mine, without the priority tags. I think the...

There will be plenty of persistence, no doubt there. I suppose I really am just wondering if I’ve got a leg to stand on having accepted the downgrade. Root cause analysis would suggest that I’m in this position because of the provider’s “error” though. I just like to be forearmed , as it...

Cheers, the refund isn't really important to me. The SCs are.

So, I've just been told the first leg of my J return trip tonight ex TSV to AKL has gone tech and the plane has been swapped out to single class and I've ended up in Y. OK - no problem, but I do have to be on the flight. The QF rep has stated that I'll be refunded whatever the differential is...
