Well 4F was occupied, 4B got filled late with SG, 4E, 5BE, 6BE and 7BE were all empty. Rest of the flight was full.

It's already T-24, and 4F is still blocked for me (WP). I don't know anyone else on the flight to see what they can see, but EF with a QF WP number (mine) shows it as OPEN, but OLCI shows it as blocked.

Interesting. QF632 MEL BNE 19 Nov I'm WP, and this is what I see going to check in... 4DEF Full or Blocked. EF shows So 4F is showing as free through EF, but I can't check in to it as WP. EF with Bronze (I don't have ready access to a Gold FF number) shows this I wonder what it...

Thanks for the suggestions. I wish I'd been thinking ahead and grabbed the opportunity for status matches earlier, but I might see how I go with TK and asking VA and EK. I must admit I do like the QF product, but it seems a waste to earn SCs that don't get me anything more than WP.

I'm WP and have been for a couple of years, and will be for a couple more, without too much effort. I will miss out on P1 by 235 QF SCs (unless I do a quick MEL-SYD-MEL and bring forward my next MEL-LAX to Oct 31st - ain't gonna happen). The chances of me making P1 next year are lower than...

I just got my second 20k points after two follow ups - my issue was a delay between applying and being approved - despite phone advice when activating the account that I would have the "current" promotions deadlines, they applied the original promotion's deadlines. They did fix it to their...

OK, called on Thursday, Qantas Club passes were in today's mail. That's a win. Still no sign of points, but at least they've done something. Pass expiry April 2015, so plenty of time to give them to someone who needs them.

Just made the "where's my points and passes call". Card activated 7th Dec, first spend not till 7th Jan (Aus Post kindly folded the card through the chip, so I actually had to ring up and order a replacement card the day it arrived, but I activated it ahead of the 13th Dec deadline for the...

Thanks for pointing me to that page - I'd read it, but never as far as the fine print at the bottom: ~ Except for the oneworld lounge at Tom Bradley International Terminal, where Qantas members are allowed two children up to 18 years of age. Bingo - If refused guest and two kids at AA in T4...

I'm starting to figure out the differences - but I don't think I've seen anyone put it so clearly :) Thanks.

Thanks, Oz, I hadn't thought of calling QF to get seating pre-allocated for free - I'll give it a go.

Hi All, long time lurker, rare poster. I'm transiting LAX twice in JAN with my family. I'm WP/OWE, they no status. I'm booked MEL-LAX in J through work, they Y. Arriving LAX on QF93 6:40 departing 9:10 LAX - ASE (this is the only flight each day to ASE on a OW airline). Family is booked...

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! A bunch of questions - I've read every page of this thread :) What is the best option for 160 (I an pretty sure I will need 155) SCs out of MEL between now and Oct 31? I am likely to earn 150 to 210 SCs on regular flights, and need 95 to 155 SCs...

Well it's been a three months today since my day trip to Helsinki. Checking through baggage was no problem. We got a locker for around 5 euro that fitted all of our carry on bags as well (lowest level in the airport building - after you clear customs if you've come from a non-schengen port)...

Thanks for the advice and suggestions - really looking forward to this now!

This is very much a noob question, and the answer is probably well known to all regular international travellers, but I'm not... :oops: I was flying from Rome to Hong Kong on a QF points award booking on Finnair with a two hour transit in Helsinki. The Helsinki - Hong Kong flight we were on...

I'm in that scenario with CitiBank (fee free Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Signature), but not with Commbank, so hoping they value my business ($100k/pa) enough to offer a fee waiver.

I have a CBA Diamond card that is just under a year old, upgraded from a Platinum which was taken up when there was a free for first year option. I got a fee waiver on the Platinum on it's anniversary, just before they upgraded me to Diamond. Diamond fee is due in about one month. I currently...

I find flights & fares for my family, and flights for myself for business (even though I have to book through a TA for work to comply with their travel policy, I find the flights first, then tell the TA what to book). As other posters have noted, it's all about making the entire process smooth...

I use passive (noise isolation) in-ear earphones, and have noticed this when the seat volume is low, and the volume on the earphones is high. My solution is simple; turn down the volume (really just turn up the attenuation) on the earphones, and turn up the volume on the seat. I conclude that...
