    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.

    Qantas Cabin Baggage Survey Results Email

    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...

    Transfer Qantas lounge pass - unable to find member?

    I had the same issue. It took a few goes entering the exact same details and logging in again before it worked, all on the same browser.

    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)

    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...

    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...

    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...
