To update, my +1 received upgrade from PE to J at the gate. No notification or anything prior. The gate staff didn’t even say anything. They scanned the BP it had an error “seating error” they picked up an already printed boarding pass scanned it and handed it over without saying anything. The...

Oh really? I believed if you did “upgrade a family member” they are assessed at your level. Not sure where I got that from but is that not the case?

QF Platinum here, myself and a no status family member are traveling on QF75 tomorrow on seperate bookings. I requested upgrade from premium economy to business for both of us via my account at almost exactly the same time from my account. I received an upgrade at T-72, however my +1 still now...

That is a good upgrade! Which leg?

This partnership certainly plugs some holes in their network (ie Canberra) hopefully comes with decent status benefits and some redemption options.

As just a regular platinum: QF291 08/03 X (economy) - success QF292 10/03 X (economy) - success

I did consider this option, unfortunately QF don’t fly on my preferred dates resulting in additional travel days that I don’t want. Also I prefer air travel to train travel, but if it worked out I would do this. Doubt it, I tried all different combinations with plenty of time for connection 3+...

Hello, wasn’t sure exactly the best place to ask this. I am trying to fly Sydney to Busan (return) on oneworld airlines, ideally Qantas taking me the majority of the way (I want to be able to upgrade with points). The most appropriate I have been able to find is Syd > HND (QF) and HND - PUS...

Thank you for the informative reply

Hello, I will be travelling on QF 76 departing YVR (Vancouver) as Qantas Platinum. Is there any lounge access available for this flight? I know there is a CX lounge at pier D but I have no idea if QF leaves from the same location?

At the hilton garden inn sg the sensor looks like a security motion sensor. Rectangle with a matt screen on the front angled towards the centre of the room. At Hilton orchard road Singapore, it was more discreet, I want to say it was like a small circular thing in the ceiling but I could be...

This is really testing my loyalty to Hilton. I stay at “all” the Hilton properties in Singapore and I may find a new chain after this. The HGI is unbearable, the orchard road Hilton isn’t as bad as HGI but still makes for an uncomfortable stay. I’ve been staying at Conrad centennial but at over...

Pointsdude effectively said what I want to say. To add my take, as Ive been deciding if I should switch from Ultimate to Platinum for a while now so I’ve given it a lot of thought. Key points: the ultimate card has a better earn rate (about 11% better? If someone could do the real maths and...

Are you sure? I haven’t read the pds in a bit but last time I did I’m sure if you used Qantas points it was still covered? Edit: just checked the pds and as long as you are using Qantas points its covered. Domestic Return Trips 3. You are going on a Domestic Return Trip and You either: a...

QF A350 are not in service yet. They will be used for the ‘project sunrise’ flights. Possibly put on some earlier familiarisation flights first.

While I’d agree the other carriers also had something to lose with additional QR flights, they would have very well competed with Qantas on flights to LHR and to EU in general. QR are a oneworld partner (yes there is BA too but their product isn’t winning any awards) for someone who holds...

I’ve only traveled on the new Premium Economy seats so I can’t compare for you. I did however travel on VA 777 pe back when it existed, I believe they were the same seat. Which I do think the new QF PE seats are fantastic and fairly underrated. I think QF PE seats are very good and better than...

Yeah I am pretty sure this is the last refurb the a380’s will have before they are put out to pasture. Shame because the first suits were hardly touched in the refurb.

So basically the mandate is for everyone to be uncomfortable all the time.

Agreed, almost all airlines set it too hot for me. Some are worst offenders than others. I’ve actually found Qantas one of the best for not overheating the cabin though. Even then I have seen on the screen the cabin crew set the temp at 24 degrees at sleep time.
