Pity none of our resident P1s seemed to get an invite to or report on this event?

Seeing and being served up Pat & Stick's ice cream sandwich in First seems really low rent. Something like cheesecake or chocolate cake would be much classier. I am an ice cream tragic so even vanilla bean ice cream (maybe with hot fudge) would be more fitting than something you have to unwrap...

Might be the triple points instead, or the joke?

I'm guessing indefinitely as it seems to yield nice sales spikes for QF and as is often said, status doesn't really cost them much to hand out unless pax are actually flying and using the benefits. They don't appear too perturbed about lounge overcrowding - especially when there's the odd QC...

Definitely an anti-service and severe waste of time if the escort wastes your time, I'd be so frustrated (I'm not that big a DYKWIA). We actually did get an escort arriving into DEL but it blurred because the first thing they said was my suitcase hadn't made it onboard, so my first thought...

As OP mentioned, there used to be hot towels in domestic J... and glasses of water or strawberryapple juice... and Fin Review and other newspapers...

Ah interesting. It wasn't far at all and the wait at immigration was minimal even if they could cut queues for us which they couldn't. While the DYKWIA factor is high this would be valuable only if they have the power to bring us to the front of immigration and security queues at the worst...

Flew Y (exit row) MEL-DEL recently. Really good service - we were Consistently™ served first, ahead of other Y passengers. Handwritten card, pyjamas, bottle of wine and other gifts offered and mostly gratefully accepted. Flew J back DEL-MEL. At check-in at DEL, we were escorted from the...

I was trying to remember a humble story about a meal but couldn't - I wish I could say my most memorable meal was a simple mushy mess in Y, memorable only because it was my first ever flight or first flight alone or coming home after being desperately homesick, but honestly I can't remember...

The official answer is here: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/use-points/classic-upgrade-rewards.html Unofficially, you'll get an idea by going through the below thread. In my experience (as a P1), my upgrades have consistently come through 27 hours before the scheduled flight...

I flew international J a few days ago and there were no hot towels.

More success as P1 - QF70 DEL-MEL, received the message again at T-27 (can almost set my watch to it). Travelling with SG. Was able to get row 1.

Didn’t do QF69 in J but here’s yesterday’s QF70

Not really an aviation question but - standoff bays at airports or whatever they’re called (as opposed to docking with an aerobridge)… why are they used when it looks like there are many vacant aerobridges? Bit annoying to have to herd into a shuttle bus and drive to the terminal building after...

Fly later per their comms. I'd like to think they've read our complaints about unpublished benefits and will commit to some improvements in writing. In dozens of flex fares in the golden triangle at peak times I haven't been able to make use of fly earlier at all, so that published benefit...

I feel like they’ve been reading AFF at least in part - they specifically said Fly Later is a published benefit. We sometimes focus on published vs. unpublished or inconsistent benefits.

Reports, recent and longer ago across various airlines, indicate it won't be a problem: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/lack-of-middle-name.106404/ https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/adding-middle-name-to-qf-ff-profile.109546/...

Agreed with above, I don't see how the T&Cs could be read to allow non-eligible family members. I've received some PMs asking me to make bookings and had to (hopefully politely) refuse.

It might seem wasted if you're usually travelling with your non-status +1 and they'll benefit from your P1. But here are a few reasons why you'd give them partner platinum anyway: If you're both travelling as a bigger family group, their being platinum will allow more relatives to come into the...

Thanks again - the upgrades came through at T-27 👍
