I thought MCT SYD T3-T1 was 90 minutes?

Seems they have a bit of work to do on it; e.g. on ADL-MEL for the coming month, the calendar shows Classic+ available almost every day but going through to booking and nothing's available at all.

The loyalty bonus means e.g. platinum really requires 1300 SCs rather than 1400 SCs. If chasing status the SCs are definitely the better option. Now that I'm lifetime gold and not flying that much I picked the points for the first time this year (ended my year with ~780 SCs so another 50 would...

Honestly why even bother? No one will check that your name exactly matches the booking.

They were sacrificed in the name of Qantas' profiterolability.

They have to, to make the devaluations of Platinum not seem so bad.

If they're like the Melbourne lounge you can use the Skip app to place your coffee order without queuing.

Easiest way to tell is to try to link it to your flight.

£253 APD for a J class flight to Australia. I guess that's only about the same price as a taxi to Heathrow :oops:

If it wasn't confusing and convoluted it wouldn't be PER!

Coincidentally my partner just made Gold, and got this screen on logging in:

On a recent BA flight from LGW-PMI. I was in 2C in BA's "business class" (lol). Chap in front in 1C was behaving quite oddly pretty much from takeoff. Kept sort of bouncing up and down in his seat every few minutes. I assumed he had some sort of condition and thought no more about it. After...

Yes as others have said, it's just the general service counters now at MEL T1. There was no dedicated premium queue operating on Saturday PM but the airport was pretty quiet so wait was quite short. Agent seemed a little confused by the concept of an international connection but we got there in...

Does Qantas still have a dedicated desk in MEL T1 check-in for international connections? Or do you just check in like a normal domestic flight these days?

There must be hundreds of routes flown by OW airlines that aren't in the Qantas calculator that are eligible for earn.

Sure, but try searching for a particular thread referencing BA in the Qantas forum, for example. Can't be done.

There are some paid lounges at HKG (Plaza Premium), dunno what they're like though.

It's a known occurrence that's been discussed in this forum before. It isn't related to the LHR-FLR route but rather the booking class that BA sends through to Qantas after you've upgraded. Qantas see it as U I believe, which is ineligible for earn.

Since time immemorial the search function on AFF has annoyed me. Want to search for a thread referencing BA? Sorry, that word is too short! Same for QF, CX, MH, or surprisingly any other airline code, since they are all two characters long. What is the point of this artificial limitation on a...

According to The Age the incident occurred on takeoff in FCO. Flight crew were unaware, not detected until ground inspection in Perth.
