My status year starts on 1 June and I usually time a trip to Europe to early June (SYD-LHR return with connections). My best success rate with upgrades has been on those trips despite being at zero or very low SC numbers. Then it wanes off...

If I understood this correctly, you'd buy one ticket for PER-SIN return and a separate one for SIN-LHR return (with a stopover in Dubrovnik on the way back). Correct? In this case, NM's suggestion of overnights in Singapore is worth considering. You should leave a long buffer between the...

Or just genuinely wanting out quick. Perhaps there's a tight connection where even a few minutes saved can count.

Many thanks for the organisers! There would have been a lot more to take in that I did and next time I need to spend much more time mingling and picking brains. It was a quiet day for me today with a friend and one of the kids. And my favourite corner in the lounge happened to be free. 😎

If she can live in Canada like the locals and has the same access to healthcare etc, then an option is to rely on that during her stay. You'd buy travel insurances for the transit only, both ways (a Canadian or global policy for the return trip).

If it's of any help, the status upgrade email is not instant but takes a few days to arrive. One of the faster processes at QF, though...

Going to the airport tomorrow? A public transport option is to catch an express bus from Roma Street, near the station and opposite of the police headquarters main entrance.

From the outside perspective, wouldn't a compensation be a way to 'make good'. The other way, returning your bag, would achieve the same 'make good' from the airline's viewpoint. Could the question be more around TI reimbursing for any necessities you purchased during the 21 days? Though, if...

@NM What time does the dinner start, please? It's 6:30 for a welcome drink but when is the main event planned to start? 7 pm?

From the back corner. Where the cool kids sit, I mean... 😆

Lunch was great! Looking forward now to the dinner tonight. We had the gang of seven, though QPProl went back to the office before the photo. How boring... 😉 Travel, destination and point accumulation/ usage experiences and tips shared, worth a couple of RTW's already. 😎

Shorts & polo for me, too. And sandals. It's QLD, after all - the weather invites for comfy attire. 1729219225 Pre-lunch drink. A pilgrimage destination for me every time when I'm in Brissie.

Perhaps I should have tried to be clearer in my writing. When asking for QF291/3K779, the agent submitted it but the bot came back empty. When asking for the return trip, 3K780/QF2, the agent told outright that they can't submit partner originated requests. She offered to check if QF2, though...

Updated weather forecast for the weekend: dry, generally pleasant though Saturday afternoon temperature will be at around 33C. Friday afternoon is windy - just right for landing runway 01 L/R so you'll get nice views of the CBD on the left side of the aircraft a couple of minutes before...

Came back empty-handed this morning. The first call dropped, then I had trouble connecting but then got though to Hobart. Early January dates SYD-xSIN-CRK and SYD-MNL rejected. The same with late January return MNL-SYD and MNL-xBNE-SYD. For some of the return date options, the bot didn't even...

But that "small fee" can add up to +30% to the expense. Relatively speaking, a clear increase.

Exit row, $15 each (on many flights VA seems to sell exits for lower price than Y front rows). Going to stay put. 1728940879 Exit row, $15 each (on many flights VA seems to sell exits for lower price than Y front rows). Going to stay put.

I've had different upgrades for different legs, some received in SIN at the gate. If you don't get it in advance, it's still possible (though rare) mid-trip.

Another newbie question on the topic: do the requests apply to QF mainline / own metal only or can I add a 3K connection to it?

For Friday's lunch (an extra-curricula activity; 1 pm at Bird's Nest, West End), we have now seven attendees: @Scash +1 (comment #244, the +1 is implied from response) @CaptJCool (#245 and confirmed in #401) @travellingann +1 (#333) @QPProletarian (#404) And myself Apologies if you have...
