    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Definitely an anti-service and severe waste of time if the escort wastes your time, I'd be so frustrated (I'm not that big a DYKWIA). We actually did get an escort arriving into DEL but it blurred because the first thing they said was my suitcase hadn't made it onboard, so my first thought...

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    As OP mentioned, there used to be hot towels in domestic J... and glasses of water or strawberryapple juice... and Fin Review and other newspapers...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Ah interesting. It wasn't far at all and the wait at immigration was minimal even if they could cut queues for us which they couldn't. While the DYKWIA factor is high this would be valuable only if they have the power to bring us to the front of immigration and security queues at the worst...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Flew Y (exit row) MEL-DEL recently. Really good service - we were Consistently™ served first, ahead of other Y passengers. Handwritten card, pyjamas, bottle of wine and other gifts offered and mostly gratefully accepted. Flew J back DEL-MEL. At check-in at DEL, we were escorted from the...

    What was your most memorable in-flight meal?

    I was trying to remember a humble story about a meal but couldn't - I wish I could say my most memorable meal was a simple mushy mess in Y, memorable only because it was my first ever flight or first flight alone or coming home after being desperately homesick, but honestly I can't remember...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    The official answer is here: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/use-points/classic-upgrade-rewards.html Unofficially, you'll get an idea by going through the below thread. In my experience (as a P1), my upgrades have consistently come through 27 hours before the scheduled flight...

    Ask The Pilot

    Not really an aviation question but - standoff bays at airports or whatever they’re called (as opposed to docking with an aerobridge)… why are they used when it looks like there are many vacant aerobridges? Bit annoying to have to herd into a shuttle bus and drive to the terminal building after...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Fly later per their comms. I'd like to think they've read our complaints about unpublished benefits and will commit to some improvements in writing. In dozens of flex fares in the golden triangle at peak times I haven't been able to make use of fly earlier at all, so that published benefit...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I feel like they’ve been reading AFF at least in part - they specifically said Fly Later is a published benefit. We sometimes focus on published vs. unpublished or inconsistent benefits.

    No middle name on MH flight issued by QF

    Reports, recent and longer ago across various airlines, indicate it won't be a problem: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/lack-of-middle-name.106404/ https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/adding-middle-name-to-qf-ff-profile.109546/...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Agreed with above, I don't see how the T&Cs could be read to allow non-eligible family members. I've received some PMs asking me to make bookings and had to (hopefully politely) refuse.

    QF P1 partner platinum

    It might seem wasted if you're usually travelling with your non-status +1 and they'll benefit from your P1. But here are a few reasons why you'd give them partner platinum anyway: If you're both travelling as a bigger family group, their being platinum will allow more relatives to come into the...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Can I please ask about QF29 MEL-HKG 10/9/2024 - have put in upgrades to J for a couple of relatives, and seat selection shows four seats. Thank you.

    You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

    You notice the check-in agent has had a haircut. You have a favourite bathroom basin, in a lounge or airport hundreds or thousands of km away from home. The FA stumbles on the description of meals, you're tempted to (or do) fill it in for them. You have so many napkins from lounges and...
