    Taken 1 general lounge pass (exp Sun 12 Jan 2025)

    One Qantas general pass expiring 12/1/2025 to give away, to someone who's been a member for at least a year and preferably a regular AFF contributor. Please post your interest on this thread and I will decide before the year is out. It must not be onsold and I take no responsibility if QF...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Do you travel on whole of government fares? QF might exclude you from some things if so. If you don't, worth getting in touch with them.

    What cheeses me off

    This CMO but - on the pages I peruse - there's often a 'jump to recipe' link that bypasses the life stories, endless photos of each step, so-called secrets on buying ingredients etc.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Do you get pax whinging outright "But on my last flight I got xyz" frequently? My guess is there are money, training and other reasons why 1) service delivery is impossible to get 100% identical and consistent across thousands of staff and 2) not everything pax considers 'nice' or positive...

    Mine arrived on Sunday (!). Same as the others so no need to include pics.

    Qantas Points Cracker promotion

    I got nothing (apart from a forlorn hope) and +1 who's PS got the 10 SCs.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Congratulations, looking forward to you sharing your perspective and tips as a P1! Don't forget to update your AFF profile :) At some point I'll drop and have to leave this thread. Without a single event invite I can make use of, no PJs, no prizes, I'm clearly SP1 (scum). This has been the...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I expect they'll be strict and refuse, but there won't be an issue sitting together in the lounge upstairs.

    2 weeks relaxing in Asia - suggestions?

    Agree with Thailand having lots of options. Hua Hin is nice and relaxing, and a lot quieter of course than the other overrun Thai beaches, but IMHO a week there would be too much. Unless you actually really really could sunbathe for a week straight. Langkawi also worth considering. Sorry can't...

    Velocity wants to know if you prefer bonus status credits or points

    I'm in the bottom 90%. Interesting idea, haven't had an invitation to steer my preferences for the year ahead before from any airline - but how many offers can we expect? We might reach our targets or for some other reason just want to switch, wonder how this will play out.

    Velocity wants to know if you prefer bonus status credits or points

    Thanks for posting about this - I skimmed the email, saw the pictures, got sad I didn't fly (with VA) as much as I thought I had and completely missed the questions at the bottom

    Wet patch on aircraft seat

    This happened to +1 and the FA said it was due to the last passenger spilling water. The FAs tried to dry it with towels with only partial success and apparently properly doing it would need engineering and potentially delaying the whole flight! Resolved in this case by +1 being moved to...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    I've read numerous reports of a lag before status drops. However, +1 ended SG on 30 Nov, and the very next day 1 Dec the status was already showing PS. No time wasted there. YMMV

    Received it too. Lots of pages between the front cover and the start of the 'content,' being prime ad real estate.

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    I don't believe stacking is possible and don't remember reading stories here that it has been - you get the one best allowance of whatever you're entitled to but not the other allowances in addition. If I were flying F as a Platinum, I'd still only be able to take one guest into the F lounge...

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

    Correct. I've booked many status runs originating ex DPS and AKL, which have earned the DSC.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I had a poke and can't find it any more either. There used to be a section to tick up to three or so interests - I didn't pick things like golf as I have no interest in that. Now there doesn't seem to be a place to nominate preferences, so everyone will get invites to the same events like...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    That’s a new one, I thought QF had systems to ensure only the person flying could have their FF details on, sounds like an error (possibly in your favour, unless your mum is chasing points/SCs). Maybe it had to do with your booking via the VIP team rather than yourself online? Maybe they...

    Ask The Pilot

    Pilots, if you were in charge of designing the sim sessions, what if anything would you change about them - do they sufficiently train in dealing with serious problems or are they inherently limited? Also, reading the sims are heavily booked and in use 24/7... does that inadvertently or...

    Reward bookings for others

    It would be remiss not to recommend he sign up for a QFF account for free anyway - plenty of ways to earn points for free or with no extra spend, and get on the points bandwagon!
