Yes, you are correct. It was ~9hr layover, however it allowed a full days work prior to flying out the evening. I used to get on the CX flight, sleep through to HKG, arrive around am, grab breakfast at the Wing, then have a bath in the cabana before making my way to the Pier for some lunch, sit...

The timing of QF68 is what get's me. I generally travel to MAA 3-6 times per year for a week at a time and my preferred routing was via HKG (obviously pre COVID and political issues with HK). Would head up on the Sunday to be in the office Monday and then could do a full day Friday before the...

Definitely not worth it. If you were a few hundred away then maybe, but not if you're only a third of the way there. IMO, you'd be best to wait until post Oct 22, and just earn WP in your new membership year to extend it to Oct 24. Not to mention that some of your SC's will roll over so you...

I highly doubt that an A380 would be economically viable even if it could be to full capacity. For the vast majority of people going from AU to US, their final destination is rarely NYC. That's part of the reason that the QF shuttle from LAX>JFK was rarely full (yes, I'm aware they couldn't sell...

Agree that the combined premium lounges have been great - LHR, HKG (though I always chose The Pier), BNE intl, SIN (until they opened the F-lounge) - however I think the point is that the combined lounges removes another benefit from WP/WP1.

787 - it's an easy choice IMO. Newer seat, better seat fabric, larger o/h bins, larger windows, adjustable central divider, 3x loos

A more effective way for this apology to be enacted would have been to simply (for the membership YEs in question), roll forward the amount of SCs earned. That way the actual flyers who have continued to fly / spend with QF would get a real benefit, those that had done some flying would get a...

Well from some of these responses there appears to be no rhyme nor reason for 15k v 30k points offering - not even between WP and P1

Ah, that's a good point given those with YE post July will miss out on the status extension.

Offered 15k points. Also will requalify on my own. Wonder what you did to get the 30k!

Something along those lines would be a much more effective way of administering the extension. Yes, just had a look at the page and it's the same 40% cap. I guess my point is (again, not just a P1 issue), that those that have actually been flying QF and likely enduring the lions share of the...

Totally agree Matt. Somewhat frustratingly is that those that have remained flying QF and have put up with various stuff ups but will retain their status will effectively get nothing - sorry, might get some extra points. So QF is rewarding those that haven’t flown, but those that have is a bit...

I wouldn't waste your time. You'll get a call centre somewhere outside Australia after sitting on hold for a number of minutes / hours and they won't properly understand your query nor do they have the ability to do anything about it. There are clear published earn rates on the QF site, and...

I would suggest that it's an error on QFs site (not unusual TBH). The points table on QF website states you will earn a minimum of 90 SCs assuming you booked discount PE.

I don't fully agree with this. All recent flights (both int'l and dom) that I have been on have been very full with a lot of business travel. At some point QF is also going to need to purge the number of people with WP/SG status that have only retained status due to the extensions. I'm not sure...

No idea on when the next promo would be, but word of warning re DCS eligibility based on how you've written your post about reservation vs ticketing. The DSC is based on when your PNR is created (i.e. when your reservation is initially made which it sounds like you've already done) not when...

Thanks - appreciate the response. I also hope there have been no 'enhancements' either

If there was a suitable number of vacant seats available (i.e. F or J), would they have any of the crew pax immediately to LHR on the same aircraft? I'm thinking more tech crew so that further future flights aren't potentially disrupted? Also, what would be the rest period for the crew post...

Keep your expectations sufficiently low and they will be met - that goes for all aspects of flying QF at the moment. On my recent QF J flights to LHR, DFW and DEL, I can say that the food has been pretty average and certainly not worthy of the price of a J seat when compared to other carriers...

Unlike the Gold match which is from registration until Dec 23, it seems that we will need to stay at least one night at one of their hotels to extend the Platinum status through to 31 Dec 23
