    Qantas Club Guest Pass

    Thats my understanding - only valid in QP's and International Business Lounges (including QF/BA and QF/AA lounges, and I am promised, the TBIT Lounge). So in effect you can take three guests into a QP, and two into an international lounge if you have the card. If only there was one for...

    Qantas Club Guest Pass

    With some reflection, it seems to me that the real flaw is that they treat this purchase like they would a QC membership - that is the "membership" is active from the date of purchase. That would be fine if, like a QC membership, you got the benefit from the day you paid the money. As a...

    Qantas Club Guest Pass

    No I mean an Annual Guest Pass, so no number, no notation on my account, just a shiny card that allows a bonus guest into QP's and Intl Business lounges - and thus only useful if you have the shiny card. See http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/qantas-club-membership-types/global/en#jump3

    Qantas Club Guest Pass

    There is just a point where I find QF to be frustrating beyond measure. Having grown bored of having to choose which of my staff I like more, or which parent/friend I wish to spend time with in a QF lounge at an international airport, I finally decided to buy a Qantas Guest Pass so I can have...

    Whats with the Polo Shirts at BNE?

    I looked for some kind of extra branding on them - but they just appeared to be pretty regular red polos, no printing on the back or anything, just a Qantas logo on the front. Only other promotional activity in the terminal was the selling of Legacy pins, but could not discerne any link...

    Whats with the Polo Shirts at BNE?

    Was just kind of surprised that it was everyone, other than lounge staff. It seems kind of strange that QF would have a location specific uniform that is so different from the regular one. I actually wondered if it had something to do with some form of industrial action (not necessarily we are...

    Whats with the Polo Shirts at BNE?

    Ok, well i guess we are looking for further sightings of the enhanced QF Ground uniform - or if it is just a strange Sunday night thing at BNE

    Whats with the Polo Shirts at BNE?

    Are they designed by Morrisey? :mrgreen: They look pretty cheap - would have been better to just cut the arms of of some of the J class PJ's

    Whats with the Polo Shirts at BNE?

    Last night came back from BNE-CBR, all of the check in and gate staff were wearing red polo shirts with Qantas embroided on them, and black pants. Have I not been paying attention and this is the new ground staff uniform? It just really looked like DJ had taken over ground services at QF in...

    British Airways Australian office?

    Glad I'm not the only one - spent a couple of hours on the phone with the BA Indian call centre the other day, just to book a CFG-LHR-DUS ticket using a voucher, had the flight numbers i wanted, the price from ba.com, all i wanted was for it to be booked. At first they could not be sure that...

    VISA Emergency Replacement card - Issue with St George

    They are generic - Silver/Gold Background Arial Font on the front, but imprinted. Apparently St George insist that visa does not encode the mag stripe - and that is the issue. In fact, the cards look so generic, that if someone walked up to me, told me the stripe didnt work, and that i...

    VISA Emergency Replacement card - Issue with St George

    Long Story, but anyways, "lost" two visa cards at the same time in Las Vegas on New Years, one a St George Credit Card, the other a NAB Debit Card. Called Visa arranged cards to be cancelled and "emergency replacements" to be sent to me in New York once i got here. Received the cards (Thank...

    Where's everybody spending Christmas Day?

    I am also doing the never ending Christmas Day thing. Flying SYD-NRT on Christmas Eve, overnight at the Nikko at NRT, then NRT-JFK-BOS on Christmas Day, leaving just before lunch from Tokyo, and arriving in time for Dinner in Boston. I figure the Flagship Lounge at JFK will be the location...

    Brisbane hotels - poor overall?

    Recent stay at the Brisbane Sofitel was beyond underwhelming. Real service issues, to the point where I think it misleading to call this hotel 5* (or charge the rates that they seem to be able to get away with). I think part of the problem is that they are convinced that they are a 5* Luxury...

    Complimentary Partner Gold Membership is now for a "family member or friend"

    I am a bit each way on these changes, happy to see an alternative for PG (Given my partner is a WP), disappointed about loss of anytime access (although really the only time I have used it is while waiting at the airport for someone to arrive, and even then pretty rarely - but it was nice to...

    O/T Anyone ever had a Lounge to themselves?

    The FlAAgship Lounge at LAX in May - having arrived off a flight from HNL, and connecting through to DFW. What was kind of strange was that they knew I was coming and I was welcomed by name on arrival. They had a full spread of food and liquor out, and asked which things I would like kept out...

    Surprise! You've turned Gold!

    Must admit, my first thought was that DJ had "obtained" a list from QF. I guess the whole "Friday the 13th" reference confirms in my mind many of the things I had thought about DJ. Nothing really lost for me, I will continue to spend my dollars on QF/OW and enjoy my (properly earned) status...

    Surprise! You've turned Gold!

    That was my thought too - even contemplated a shift of a couple of US flights to VA Business (although the pull of the FLounge is strong). Pretty much, a status match would be precisely what they need to do to get me to fly DJ or VA. Oh well, guess it was too good to be true
