    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    If they’re trying to do it, IME they’re not doing too well. Sometimes they managed to start a few minutes ahead of schedule but definitely not always 10 minutes early

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    You don’t get a pack every requal, although they do send gifts extremely intermittently. They didn’t even send me a new card! My card has nominally expired, the lounge agent pointed this out, said they don’t send out new physical cards any more (really?) and I should use the digital version...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    Sorry I can’t enlighten you, the pax (and their guitar) weren’t in J with me is all I know.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    My experiences from recent status runs... 1. MEL-SYD QF410 Day: Sunday Scheduled departure: 07:00 Scheduled boarding: 06:40 Actual boarding: ~06:29 Boarding seemed to start more than 10 minutes early! Group 1 was already done. Hung back to see as much as possible. There were two FAs boarding...

    Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

    Multi, I had two status runs to DPS. I realise what I did - I uploaded my passport / photo on the first page (jpg), and on the second page for those Main Document I uploaded my two separate QF e-ticket PDFs, because they were nested itineraries and I wanted to prove I had return tickets. I...

    Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

    I had to upload the passport biodata page and a separate passport photo, both of which I did as jpg. I uploaded my intinerary in pdf.

    Indonesian Visa Discussion (Including Bali)

    Applying for this and working through the website was a lot of not fun. It was hard to find and confirm things and of course there was the language barrier. After my first application for a multiple-entry visa went through, they asked for a letter from a company, sponsor or something or other...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Arriving at AKL, for the first time ever I was met by one of those fabled QF hosts, who saw me through past customs and quarantine. I was very flattered although wish it'd happened when I was travelling with family into any of the other Asia-Pacific ports lately, would have had serious brownie...

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    Great I haven't missed too much then! I feel for not only pax but staff here - reasonable connections at risk, pax needing or demanding to queue jump... "seamless" in very big quotes. Dunno if aircraft tarmac movements get in the way of running frequent buses - having that room fill up, with...

    Recent Experiences with Qantas' terminal transfer at SYD

    I obviously haven’t been through here recently but INT-DOM now has priority (not group!) lanes after security for the bus. An actual enhancement, but I feel guilty when many non-priority have to wait for the next bus during the morning peak.

    Targeted Velocity Double SCs or Points Offer [July 2024]

    I don't think they were too fussy to whom they sent it. Even a silver and red in this household received it, in addition to me.

    All good, I think I have a basic sense from the comments here 🙂

    Experiences on Qantas staff travel

    I'm intrigued by what other things there are that have to stay out of a public forum 🙂 I just know there are massive discounts (apparently even freebies in some cases), but it's on standby and people mightn't make it onto a flight at all Maybe one day I can meet someone in the know and they...

    QF Wine Voucher fail

    I seem to recall seeing I had a $50 voucher maybe on the QF website but I can't find it anywhere now. I've looked through my emails but can't find it. If there's a page I should be looking at that someone can point me to, that'd be much appreciated.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    HKG Y→J successful text at T-26. Would have thought it’d be a bit earlier as a P1 but guess QF runs it to the wire. Happy to get a flat bed for the redeye.

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    Rekindling this thread with an op-up on CX for the two of us TPE-HKG from Y to J. Nice of CX to show generosity to OWE. They said it was a very full flight.
