    Article: The Benefits of Sitting at the Back of the Plane

    I’ve heard UMs and prisoners :eek: are to be found at the back… although the couple of times I ended up there, due to a last minute flight change, I haven’t sat near either!

    Do not disturb sign being ignored

    Had it ignored in Santorini and housekeeping inadvertently threw away my friend’s newly bought earrings which were in some tissue on the dresser. The hotel just shrugged and the friend was ropable.

    MEL to IST return in J on QF points?

    I'm aiming for two return flights in J from MEL to as close to Türkiye as possible this October, using QF points for CR or to upgrade (as opposed to paying $20k cash fares or excessive CR+ burn). Wondering if there are any clever ways to do this. It seems like reward seats to DXB and DOH don't...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Only one invite, which I couldn’t make (because I was travelling, probably with the other mob). Yes I usually get 4A by default.

    Is 'bussing' common?

    None of my bussing experiences have ever resulted in getting anywhere near immigration. I’ve usually ended up in stairwells next to the gates and resulted in a slightly longer walk to immigration (if international) and baggage.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    This might be some managing of expectations (and with about 3,000 or something P1s that’s not trivial to fund or arrange) but do people regularly get more than one invite annually?

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    On the app home screen: It counted down the days until my next flight but once it reached 10 days it didn’t go down any further and froze at that number (despite many refreshes), all the way until the day I flew The points and status credit counters haven't correctly updated in a week - going...

    Cash Upgrading to Business on DSC reference no.: is it worthwhile?

    Ok cool, I was on mobile and didn’t see your P1 status. You already have the status so it might be clearer to judge if you’re getting value from the benefits. I’ve had a 100% success rate with points upgrades for me and family, so possibly worthwhile if you can bank a lot of points. But that...

    Cash Upgrading to Business on DSC reference no.: is it worthwhile?

    AI’s first mistake is getting the airport code for Auckland wrong. It is hard to justify. But I say that from the position of being a P1 - if you really want to experience that status and not die wondering what it’s like, don’t let the naysaying stop you.

    Do you mean their instructions to put one carry-on bag above in the overhead locker and one under the seat in front of you?

    Qantas Sydney Domestic Business Lounge Panini Bar

    I saw it for the first time today and the very natural instinct is to treat it as self-serve like most of the rest of the lounge. I sort of figured out staff needed to do it for you but if they want to make that very clear they should put it behind glass IMHO. It was nice but... this is what we...

    What to do about noshows?

    IMHO that should be SOP, would learn the stragglers quick smart. I’m curious to know what these famous ‘offloading procedures’ exactly are. Surely they’re very prescriptive, rather than vague ‘wait if you can’? Something like x minutes before scheduled departure if the haven’t boarded, find the...

    What to do about noshows?

    You're very forgiving :) It took me a while to think this might be the case, my first thoughts were these pax were just selfish dawdlers (like those keeping cruise ships waiting for them to amble back - the dock running videos can be amusing!). There've been a couple of times I had connecting...

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    I wouldn’t be the first to say… I wouldn’t necessarily not anticipate that. (That is, I wouldn’t rule out an offer then.) (Edited for clarification - too many negatives)
