Made it to Bali on JQ35 - ended up being the new Neo. Very comfortable plane, did seem a bit quieter and excellent large bins (had extra leg room row) and the crew was great - and it was (basically) on-time. Many people aboard from cancelled flights (including displaced J passengers who got a...

my LTG status on the apple app says 'since Feb 2011' - yet I only got it a couple a months ago - go figure

made LTG a few weeks ago, no email but recall a congrats banner in my FF account - did get new card in the mail with 'LIFETIME' under the expiry date text (although the Qantas money card on the reverse does have expiry of 2030)

I have had the forward flow option come up on the app, but on both occasions (CBR-MEL, BNE-MEL) when pressing it, it has come back with no options available.

grabbed row 1 so hopefully not too bad...

confirmed changed to A321neo, got email with slight departure time change and then moved back to JQ35

I am on JQ35 in a couple of weeks - still listed as 787. Got email today from Qantas 'flight has changed' - could not work out the change as date and time was still the same. Change was from JQ35 to JQ1035. Seat map is still showing 787. Flight is marked sold out on Jetstar website.

Has the J catering dropped in quality recently? I have had two J flights (one ex Dubai and one ex Mel) and most of the food was disappointing. Breakfast very unappealing, beef very tough and snack (risotto balls) basically inedible. Flip side, wine selection was good... Filled myself up on rye...

I tried that on the EK app, on entering the EK booking ref, the QF codeshares do not allow seat or meal selection. I will try my Qantas booking ref next time

I have flight mid Dec MEL/DPS and was able to select/pay for extra leg room in Y

First world problem - I enjoy low fat/low cholesterol meal onboard. I recently departed on EK (but ticketed as QF). I rang Qantas to add low fat meal to the booking. Could not do, does not come up as a special meal option (vegetarian, fruit platter, diabetic came up), suggested I ring EK. Rang...

yes, you can check in first/business counters - not sure in Per if there is a seperate first counter

Well, I ACCEPTED my $50 promo voucher and entered the promo code into the website to make a return booking - promo code invalid, thought maybe entered incorrectly, tried again - still invalid. Rang CS, got through quickly which is a plus - the minus being that even though I accepted the promo...

For the bonus SC and points, and the shorter connection times, I would lean towards EK (with the QF flight numbers...)

yes, this is an issue that some cities are not listed in the online booking system - had a similar situation when booking a domestic flight within Finland - not all AY ports are listed online. Had to do it over the phone and Qantas had to go through oneworld service centre to work out points...

EK flights are very full ex Aus all cities, it is difficult to get paid J seats for the next couple of months...

Yes, but you need to be on QF codeshare - a EK ticket will not gain access

Compared to Qantas, travel bank is significantly easier to use and more flexible

Maybe they should concentrate on fixing refunds and call centres rather than short-term PR stunts

Rang to cancel a cash ticket within 24 hours of it being issued so asked for a full refund under the cancel for any reason policy. Call centre Cape Town (very poor line, very noisy in the background), started to read the fare rules (red e-deal), I said cancel any reason was part of the fly...
