    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    This is going back a few years (before P1 existed) but I've been on a cancelled QF flight where they automatically put everyone on the Rex flight leaving at the same time. They just handed us all new boarding passes. I think that would be cheaper than putting everyone in a hotel. But a few years...

    Heathrow departure

    I don't want to be the cause of you missing your flight, but I've never had any issues in Terminal 3 itself. I fly on QF10 or QF2 every 6-8 weeks, and haven't experienced any long queues or other delays once inside. My biggest headache is getting there! If you rely on the chauffeur service...

    Heathrow departure

    Re Q2, you have to scan the barcode on your boarding pass before you enter security. Not sure that would work without a printed pass. Re Q1, boarding starts 45 min before departure. Plus you need time to get through security and walk to the gate, which is at the far end of the terminal. So...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I had an overall very positive experience on Sunday, SYD-LHR. My points upgrade cleared just over 7 days in advance, in time for me to select my favourite seat. F check-in was then very helpful in sorting out an issue with my passport with Canberra over the phone. The F lounge dragon...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    A lot of the more memorable service experiences I've had with QF have been with people who don't know my status - the porter who always recognises me at the SYD Intl terminal, the spa therapist who knows what treatment I always have and sets the room up for it in advance, etc. My favourite this...

    Qantas Business Rewards [Replaces Aquire]

    I received 5000 points for my continued loyalty today (the alternative offer was 4 lounge passes). A QBR sales rep rang me seeking feedback on the program, and I explained my main gripe was not being able to take advantage of the 8% discount on flights not originating in Australia, which is the...

    Qantas Business Rewards [Replaces Aquire]

    There was some discussion earlier in the year about the male dominated marketing for QBR. Anyway QBR must have a limited marketing budget because the same men from the January email have reappeared on the 600 bonus points email. This time QBR has added their names and company to the photo.

    Qantas Business Rewards [Replaces Aquire]

    I received the same offer as an L3. In any case, I've already booked enough flights to retain P1 with the DSC offer. I'm not sure why they think I'm likely to travel more for only 600 points. ☹️ I also noticed the return of the men from the renaming to QBR announcement. They have names now.

    New Cathay Pacific Lounge in T3 at Heathrow

    I visited last night before QF2. The F lounge seemed a bit small and very full. Comfy seating and warm lighting, but slightly annoying muzak. Lots of showers. The flight was called.

    QF A380 F question

    Whoops! I've only been up there in the dead of night and thought the blinds were just closed.

    QF A380 F question

    My preferences in order are 1A, 1K, 5A, 5K, any other A, any other K, any F. A lot of people don't like the toilet noise in row 1. But most of the disturbance of people walking through the cabin is the flight attendants. They do periodic laps around the cabin, so it doesn't matter where...

    Qantas Business Rewards [Replaces Aquire]

    It looks like the usual Qantas "enhancement" to me. Level 1 only earns 20% Qantas points and Level 2 30%, compared to the 40% everyone gets now on a business class flight. To get to Level 3, you would need to earn 367,667 base Qantas points if I read it correctly (100,000 at 20% to gain Level...

    Change to pre-departure champagne in First class?

    I was a bit worried in QF10 F on Wednesday when I wasn't offered any champagne. When I asked, it was the Pol Roger Sir Winston Churchill 2004.

    Qantas launches "Aquire" business frequent flyer program.

    re: Qantas launches "Aquire" business frequent flyer program. Does anyone receive periodic calls from Aquire? I've had a number of voicemails left in recent months - in the middle of the night overseas. There was no indication what they were ringing about. I assume if it was important they'd...

    New PJs?

    Excellent. I'm looking forward to pockets again.

    New PJs?

    Has anyone received the new PJs yet? On QF1 on Sunday/Monday, women got the old F ones and men a bright green kit. I'm hoping for the new ones to appear on QF2 this week.
