Jacques Reymond?

Qualified WP first time in March, status reassessment 30APR, and I received offer last week. No reason I can see since I qual'ed but it will give me an early boost in May, June, August to requal. or even... WP+, WP1? I can see how they hook you!

Hi Jetsam, welcome. I participated in the survey today, and agree with you that my perception of Qantas' service has improved over the past 12 months. Whether that has anything to do with increasing status, who am I to say :) I appreciate QF sending out a survey asking how they can improve.

Do you have points available to burn for a status run? I needed 330 on 1Jan by 30apr, and got 220 through JASA and YASA (booked them before I took on a lot of travel early in the year for work).

I had a JASA yesterday SYD-MEL, which was my qualifier for WP, as I wanted FLounge before a MEL-SIN today. However, the online system and BP didn't reflect my new status today. I called Qantas, and initially was told I couldn't access FLounge until the system updated. Grumble grumble... I...

Thanks for the feedback elan. Like you, I work for a large US multinational, and Y+ is the best we can get. Last I flew Y+ was late 2010, and I was in a lie-flat bed (J seat) but Y+ service (meals, menus, etc.) on a 744 that, I think, hadn't been fitted with Y+ seats yet. Best thing was the...

This is very helpful, and perhaps could be a sticky topic (Mod?). Thank you.

Hi James, welcome. Do emirates treat you well? From an Aussie perspective, they certainly seem to be leading the premium airline market (along with Singapore).

Meant to write how many do you think SG has?

P1 ~3000 WP ~60,000 I seem to recall reading that QFF have 7million members, is that correct?

Congratulations! I'm new to AFF and really appreciated the helpful threads showing me how to maximise SCs. Enjoy SG, see you in the QP!

Congratulations! Very exciting, and please let us know how your first FLounge and first flight as WP treats you. PS. Loved the 'emerald with envy' joke...

So, where does everyone meet at the QP, or know who are AFF? I can guest 1 on most visits. Anyone use Planely? Tue, 14 Feb 12, 0630 QF404 MEL → SYD Wed, 15 Feb 12, 1210 QF577 SYD → PER Thu, 16 Feb 12, 2330 QF648 PER → MEL Sun, 19 Feb 12, 1505 QF624 MEL → BNE Sun, 19 Feb 12, 1740 QF2368...

Lindsay, we may very well have crossed paths, it's a small RAAF, but I suspect straitman had some heavier stripes on his shoulders than my dental floss. Must...Fly and ReLoad, 420SC to go and I have just pencilled in 10MAR12 for my promotion to FLounge. To all, do many people use Planely? I...

Thanks ReLoad! Your quote reminds me of Blackadder Goes Forth, Captain Flashheart... "...last one back's a cough, hooray!". No offence intended to anyone. Yes, agreed, can't believe how helpful this site is. Makes business travel that much more tolerable, maybe close to enjoyable?

Thanks nlagalle, I've signed up to Planely now and linked it to my TripIt. Very helpful.

@ Boeta and Nick, thanks! @ Maggies, I'm still QP for at least 2 months... Just learned what FLounge is and looking forward to it @ straitman, I look forward to sharing a tale or two in the FLounge @ Princess and JohnK, thanks also. Do people use 'Meetings and Social Events' discussion board...

Hi frequent flyers, After lurking on here for several months, and finding myself visiting more frequently as my travel schedule increased, I told myself I should become more active in posting. Well, having just booked a MEL-SYD return and locked in enough SCs to hit WP by review date 30APR12...
