There are two options. If you purchase a kids meal then they will only count the two adults. My daughter likes to eat well and doesn't even want to see the kids menu. I found if I order 2 x entrée, 2 x main it also works given that my wife never has an entrée and it servers as a main for my...

That's a bit rough when your paying for the membership and expecting the advertised benefits.

I think a lifetime membership program would be better than adding more status levels. Along with tweaking Platinum benefits. If another level is added it won't be long before we will be hearing we need yet another level. It wasn't that long ago we only had Gold.

Perhaps SC's earned after requal should go towards the next requal rather than being expired. I agree otherwise your better off flying another airline once you requalify given those SC's are wasted. Yes they can be used to qualify your partner but most travel together so having individual...

Yes. Adv+ makes no difference to what you get (adds meal discount though) or how your treated. Its the Le Club Platinum associated with your Adv+ membership that makes a difference. So unless there is value in the meal discount, you don't need Adv+ just Le Club.

Room upgrade, welcome drink, late check out and the feeling they are actually happy your staying.

You always have to ask and generally need to be staying at the same places over and over. If I stay somewhere new I normally get nothing. If I have stayed several times I get looked after pretty well. Still need to ask though.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had hoped that I might be able to get a referral from one of our kind members one day. But, with the referrals being limited this way, the chances of getting one will be significantly reduced. :(

I think 'I should have booked earlier' will be a common response. :( On the bright side I am confident our sharing our research will still provide some good deals, maybe not giveaways, but certainly some good savings or bonuses.

I'm not surprised. In fact I wouldn't expect anything less whilst there is a rewards promo running. Whether your getting the whole fare as a reward or upgrading its no different. In fact I would be horribly disappointed to not get the additional SC's when I have paid something out of my...

This is my experience exactly. I am dismayed that others can say the opposite. I would think after several years I would experience some of these things if others profess to experience them often and at lower levels. I'm starting to get a complex.

That's it ! Time to give up Platinum and go back to a level that is recognised ;)

I guess I did correct the applicable SC's on a couple of runs. And I did try to book flights 3 times, so I could report on the experience ;) Unfortunately, no seats all 3 tries. :( I think we all appreciate the effort that has been put into this reference though. At least I would like to...

None of the VA FA's I have ever flown with went to this training, apparently.

I have learnt not to expect, and don't. Still have not had ANY recognition on board as a Platinum since its been available or as a Gold before that. Interesting to hear what QF offer to status holders as I have only ever flown VA. i must have 'leave him alone' in my notes too. ;) I agree I...

sounds like Platinum.

i have not come accross anything worth adding apart from what has already been contributed, so now I feel guilty after reading your post.

168 :shock: If you see something you like I suggest you book it immediately ;)

Hopefully, VA will be seeking some compensation from Sabre, given the damage, and in turn that compensation will be passed on to us in some form. Sabre isn't to blame though for the decline in the quality of service or the complete disregard, in some cases, of VA's loyal flyers. Unless VA turn...

i agree, hence starting the thread, but i don't think pooling is all to blame. It certainly needs policing though as there is no doubt about it being abused given many comments on this forum. It is supposed to be only for your partner and dependent children living at the same address. But...
