Qantas doesn't care and won't care because pax still keep coming back to Qantas to spend their (or their employers') hard-earned. Even well-informed pax who have been subjected to multiple IRROPs stay loyal to Qantas.

High GDP per capita correlates with low taxes, small government, and high economic freedom.

Now you are just grasping at straws.

Which year?

That's the best thing about QF status: flying on other airlines. The celebrations when QF announced the Finnair wet leases were very instructive.

Had the veg pizza SYD-BNE last Sat night, was quite nice although very difficult and messy to extract from the cardboard box. Plane was only 25% full so the flight attendants came around with a second serve of the pizza. Also managed to down three bottles of red wine. For a second there, I...

This thread is about flying J, so your answer is of course different. Being VA WP, it's pretty easy to maintain it by flying a couple of international trips with VA partners in J, I just have to fly some dom sectors (or up to Fiji) with VA to maintain WP, but status is basically just...

And triple check that any changed flights actually get ticketed.

Either transfer to Velocity or use them on Y class flights as there is usually very easy-to-find redemption opportunities (if you can cope with Y).

In my n=1 study, I have worn masks the absolute minimum (and very poorly when forced to), and have not have covid or the flu or a bad cold for at least 10 years.

Well, as soon as you get to VFF SG (which will be soon, from the sounds of it), you can enjoy the lovely (but sometimes very busy) SQ lounges including the free booze!

Nice try. As a VFF, there are many excellent options to fly to London, including SQ, QR, EY, NH and UA. All offer better products than Qantas, and usually at lower prices.

R U OK?

Why do you keep flying if you hate it so much?

Yeah, the best thing about QF status is flying other carriers!

That's poor, especially for a decent length flight like OOL-MEL, I'd be punching the call button to get a couple more refills of wine post-tray clearing.

I see what you did there. In any case, the full name for WSI is Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, and Nancy-Bird as a first name is quite cute.
