    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    I planned but forgot to include my quip - he was pointedly in one of the lounge chairs and not the dining area working his way through the menu!

    Curtis Stone in the MEL FLounge recently.

    Clearly upgrades aren't guaranteed even with space available - what other criteria are QF using?

    Late Evening Arrival with Early Morning Departure at Melbourne (Tullamarine)

    Pick one of the hotels @33kft mentioned based on your willingness to spend, they're all within ready walking distance. It's long enough that trying to sleep in a chair is very unattractive to me and I'd rather the humanity that a private room and bathroom provides, fresh for the next day of flying.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    Around halfway through the T&Cs it says "All bookings must be new to be eligible." This is more for the DSC/double points thread, than a loyalty bonus query...

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    The T&Cs say "Once the registration period is closed, Qantas will not accept changes to members' preferred bonus reward choice." That suggests you can change it in the next few days. Also see above.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    What a turnaround. Maybe the reasons they mentioned in the email response about needing a sustainable scheme were outweighed by the backlash?

    Unbelievable. Clearly they need to cull those marching took quickly to LTG.

    P1 Rebrand

    I was surprised to receive a set too, I'd have guessed they were only sending these new ones out for renewals. I also note the electronic boarding passes clearly say 'PLATINUM ONE' next to the logos, while other statuses (NB, WP) don't. Being P1 didn't save me from indifferent service on my...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    300 SCs left I’d definitely go for it, but not say >1,500.

    Travel In Switzerland

    Not stupid. If you dread rather than are looking forward to hiring and driving a car, let someone else worry about being behind the wheel/running the train. It might be a good investment so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Sometimes I just don't want the hassle of worrying about parking...

    International Qantas Awards Available One way but not Return.

    IMHO (and it's only my guess) it is about forcing you to pay $$ for one of the flights, often the return, or take an undesirable stopover. I bet they have analysts crunching the numbers and dedicated to maximising profits and filling seats. It's not about polluting the planet further. Even with...

    I used to hang out here a lot....Velocity's 20th birthday

    I remember (some of) crazydave's posts and loved the involvement. Nice to see him pop back to say hi... and I do wonder about and miss some of the other prolific posters from 'back in the day.'

    P1 Rebrand

    From the P1 email that just came out it said the update will be “help our frontline teams identify you more easily”. The cynic in me says that’s an admission we kept on being overlooked and ignored, and now this will get staff to KWIA!

    Little things I like

    Having AFF as a place on the Internet to come to when I want to totally tune out of domestic and global politics - which is quite often nowadays.
