We're saying the same thing.... That is - that QF has made it more difficult for WP & above to successfully get award seats released. Which matches with the anecdotal reports in this thread.

I'm well aware of that. I'm also aware of my previous experiences over the years including on this route and these ports, at various times of the year and various days of the week. Like I said - your point isn't relevant to my example. (I never said your point was wrong - subtle difference).

It's not quite as simple as that (notwithstanding your point) - not relevant to my post.

I have to say - that I'm finding it harder and harder to get award seats opened up for this..... Even in cabins that are empty / virtually empty. One request is now 2 months out - and the cabin isn't full on any day from tomorrow, all the way through..... And they still won't budge. In...

Agree totally. VA - they don't at this time.....

I tend to concur.... I have faith in trippin's sources ðŸ

Total "how long is a piece of string" question ;) I can say that I've often been (if not almost always) the only P1 on a CNS<=>SYD/BNE/MEL flight; and often the only or one of only 2 or 3 WPs. I can also say that on the A380 flights LAX<=>SYD/MEL I've often been one of only a cpl of P1s on a...

Economy Plus is totally worth it. Having completed 7 (soon to be 9) TPAC trips on UA in the last 6 months - DON'T COUNT on having a row to yourself, or even a shadow. UA are notorious for filling the plane with non-revs from the Standby list.

Excellent question - it was in Economy Plus as a 1K (in various seats, most times without a shadow). My QF flights have been with various status over the years - but for the last 6 it's been as Plat or Plat One. So my comparisons have all been with top status on the respective airline and with...

Yes that's correct. UA 787 (9 across) was more comfortable than a UA 777 (9 across) as well as the QF 747 (10 across). Thanks for clarifying.

And yet I've done 7 TPAC sectors in the last 6 months on the UA 787 in Y (3-3-3) and found it substantially more comfortable than both the 777 and even a QF 747 in Y. (let's not talk about the soft service) ;) JQ was your issue - not the 3-3-3.

If you've never driven in the US - then I totally understand. If you have... then LA doesn't have to be daunting. Especially when driving around the LAX/South Bay area, you're not on any freeways, and it's just like driving in Sydney/Melbourne (except for the whole wrong-side-of-the-road...

The Marriott LAX is walking distance to all the airport precinct car hire places in any event. I would leave the luggage at the hotel, and perhaps even keep the car until the end of the day (depending on what you would like to do for the day). Or, return the car, go and do stuff, and pickup the...

More recently I've had / seen orders taken 'out-of-order'. I'm actually not sure whether FEBO is still a thing..?? Weren't they phasing it out? TBH - I've been asleep on most AA domestic F flights recently. (Or they've been too short to get a meal service).

The OP doesn't state whether they have any status with either AA or QF or whether it was in the booking. As others have stated: - AA domestic "First" is the equivalent of QF Domestic J. It's a domestic Business cabin. - IME, AA does priority baggage 1000% better than QF does even on their...

Personally - I would: 1/ Keep crediting to QF if you believe you can maintain QF WP more easily than AA EXP. 2/ Don't worry about domestic upgrades - reality is, even as an EXP, they don't always clear (although better than UA 1K, and arguably better than DL Diamond). Besides, domestic upgrades...

I think you've misunderstood the concerns of those who are hesitant to embrace the "gender identity" position. They have the SAME concern as you (just switched slightly). For example - a biological male, who gender identifies as a female using the female bathroom. Now - if said gender-female...

And the "K" before that ðŸ

Griselda refused requests to be included in the DYKWIA Society research.

TonyHancock's quiz, and the underlying issue can be summed up in this recent article published by the DYKWIA Society (the audience was FFP managers, not frequent flyers)... "By advertising a set of rewards to customers in return for specified behaviors (eg. reaching flight / spend / stay...
