    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Had a very tender and perfectly medium rare steak on a recent flight to CGK. Hands down the best steak I've ever eaten in the air, beating QR, CX, BA J and even EK F. With more of sear I reckon it could've even passed on the ground. Hopefully not a once-off fluke by QF catering.

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

    Pretty sure that was you at the table next to me at MEL F dining today. Unfortunately I'm a little too introverted to say hi, but thanks for the hint about getting Christmas PJ's from the front desk. The Grange was good!

    Platinum restaurant benefit - USE THE CARD!

    I don't think "Apple Pay" is the third party payment processor in this instance : it's qlub.io. I take it that you scanned a QR code, which was a website with an online menu, and then paid through that website on your phone. This is somewhat similar to ordering pick up through Uber Eats (though...

    Purchased a Qantas Flex fare but when I requested a refund they insist it is "Red-E Deal"

    FWIW I went back to a 2009 e-ticket, which is an older style, and it doesn't have the fare class either. However manually issued, courier text e-tickets do have classes. Screenshot for the nostalgia.

    "You may earn an additional …"

    The "may earn" only counts QF flights I believe. Which would mean your AY codes aren't included.

    Qantas A330-200 cabin refurbishments

    EBO is an A330-200 (A332). All A330-300's have the newer eXLite + eX3 IFE. As above. all A330-300's have the newer IFE in Y. So that's all rego's VH-QPx. Looking at the official QF seat maps, the list would appear to be as below. A330-300 A330-200 A330-200 New IFE screens J+Y New IFE...

    Late, late and late again....

    Yes, and also available on request for all who are eligible to access the F lounge. But not something they proactively offer due to a delay. Ah I see, I take what I said in post #6 about ODU's back then. However, the "upgrades up to the gate" are still subject to priority, and the seat may not...

    Late, late and late again....

    You raise some good points - inconsistency of service, food, priority boarding ETC. However, I feel like some things are exaggerated, not managed by QF or not actually benefits. On departure upgrades for International are not an advertised benefit. I doubt it's an unofficial benefit either...

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

    Can anyone even access the F lounge if traveling on the Bangkok Airways or China Eastern code? The flight doesn't have F, and OW status wouldn't help here would it? Therefore I'd think the last two flights in that column don't need to be there.

    What on earth is QF doing?

    Been on this flight many a time. There was a period a few years back where I think I must have been cursed, as I kept being bumped onto this flight due to weather issues or the plane going tech. There was one crazy weather situation, where the whole FIDS board was showing planes cancelled and...

    Seat disappeared for reward booking on JL

    JAL's angled Shell Flat Neo is a B/E Aerospace MiniPod. Pretty much the same seat as QF's SkyBed Mk1 (the original).

    Seat disappeared for reward booking on JL

    Just read Lucky's (One Mile at a Time) review on the SkySuite III and was reminded of this thread. https://onemileatatime.com/reviews/japan-airlines-business-class-787/

    Qantas Rewards Seats Booking Failed - flights disappeared?

    You'll likely find the booking in your "My bookings" page with a PNR. Just call up ASAP, quote the reference and pay.

    Changing reward flight - which option and best way to change?

    Married segment issue. Your itinerary is available as a CDG - MEL with only specific connections and not individually. Therefore when you try and change the second flight, the first is no longer available.

    Invited to participate in a QF Loyalty Virtual Focus group

    Interesting. In the last month, I've had multiple flights delayed including a Trans-Tasman and a rolling domestic.

    Invited to participate in a QF Loyalty Virtual Focus group

    Rejected. Wonder what specific disruption experiences they were seeking. Ironically, I had responded to the initial email request while still on a dom QF plane that had just landed 2 hours behind schedule.

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Aren't the A220's a direct replacement for the 717's though? There's currently no IFE screens on those jet's, so nothing is changing. Different story if the A321's also have no IFE screens though.

    Seat disappeared for reward booking on JL

    I always take seatguru measurements with a grain of salt these days. The way airlines measure distances can be inconsistent - example here, though this is measuring economy seats. IMHO having experienced CX herringbone on A350, 777 and A330, I'd prefer the CX seat over the JAL one...

    Seat disappeared for reward booking on JL

    The JAL 1-2-1 layout is one of the tightest reverse herringbone's on the market. The middle pairs overlay the footrests, one on top of the other such that one person reclines low and the other reclines high. I had a JAL 787 from North America subbed from the 2-2-2 config to the 1-2-1, and it was...
