Same route, on Friday also. QF487 @ 7pm. Very full flight but my shadow (in 4B) managed to survive.

The gravy train has to stop eventually. With such heavy demand for flights there seems little need or justification for QANTAS to extend status support beyond the current June 2023. I’d love them to do another 6 months, but don’t like my chances.

The conversation has wandered away from the headline a bit. It was a QF flight on 2 November. But, still, extraordinary service IMO.

Voucher has a 3 year life, and can be used on multiple bookings until its value is exhausted. Can’t expect better than that!

P1. I was booked BNE-MEL mid-last year. Got a text as I traveled to the airport from QF that the flight was delayed by a couple of hours. My phone rang 5 minutes later. VIP team proactively offering alternatives. They booked me on an earlier flight which I could still arrive in time for.

It’s a JQ flight - unless you booked it through QF, you should follow up with JQ. It happened to me once that JQ (actually it was 3K) didn’t have my food on their tablet. JQ gave me a voucher. I’ve found JQ customer service are quite responsive if they’ve stuffed up. Follow up by email - not phone.

I’m P1 and I’m happy to fly JQ when I can get them at a big discount (which they have regularly). Apart from the current high cancellation rate (and the fact that the JQ terminal in MEL is distant from the lounge) there are a few benefits. I always add the MAX bundle which is the same SCs as QF...

Has anyone received double FF points under this promotion for a flight credit created AFTER the commencement of the promotion (which appears not to be excluded from the scope of the promotion)?

Get a JQ flight from the international terminal for $39 on special some time (and a return from the destination as well). Probably work out cheaper than a city restaurant 😀

You may be able to negotiate a rollover of unused vouchers prior to expiry. But as far as a voucher used to make a booking which you subsequently cancel, I think the T’s & Cs say you lose it

I had 10 flights booked using Travel Passes with DSCs which I took between December 2021 and August 2022. These were all Travel Passes issued by QANTAS as a result of QF canceled flights, and I took the option of getting these TPs instead of a refund. I got my first one when I was jumping up and...

Have a good credit rating - good credit history and good income etc Develop a strategy matching card approvals to when your significant costs come due apply and be approved, spend what you intend and then cancel the card move on to the next one know whether it's worth it to you hanging onto...

The first one was a "boost" and it was a one-off gift. Once the pandemic was clearly rolling on a bit longer QANTAS introduced "status support" which provided for on-going roll-overs of status credits to help maintain status. No fix introduced, but just a limit to the initial generosity but...

Presumably a completely justified box ticking exercise so that the receiving airport knows which planes are actually turning up on its doorstep and can make appropriate arrangements for receiving that type of aircraft.

To illustrate this point, this is my wheel on the final day of my year a month ago This is then the photo at the start of the new year: And then finally this is how it now presents: Ignore a few that hit readjusted because they caught up on some that were missing, but you can see what happens.

It can be really quite confusing because the guidelines say: What will the Status Credits that are rolled over contribute towards? The Status Credits rolled over will contribute towards attaining and retaining status for Platinum One, Platinum, Gold and Silver. They won’t contribute towards any...

Yes, but only because they have been deducted from what you have already earned. It’s a case of taking with one hand and giving back with the other. The net effect is that rolled over status credits do NOT add to your lifetime status tally

My year rolled over at the start of December. My wheel shows the 1800 rolled over (as well as the 376 I actually earned in December 2022) as “earned this year”. The “already earned” segment is down by the 1800 they’ve rolled forward. While it’s a bit annoying to my ego that the “already earned”...

When is your first journey of the 5 due?

Obviously if you order two serves at the same time they make them half serves!! That is a pathetic serving size
