There's also rumours of Qantas introducing a monthly plan; might be worth holding on and trying to scrounge entry passes unless you have a lot of travel planned.
On MEL-SYD the other day in J, the FA came to my partner and I and discreetly offered us first choice from the lunch menu. Nice to know that even as a lowly LTG it's still possible to outrank everyone else in the business cabin :cool:
Well the point is the cheaper fares have sold out on those services. You always have the choice to book other services where cheaper fares are still available :)
But you wouldn't get the 3 bag allowance on EK if it was a QF issued ticket, so I don't think the MSC rule can magically change that. It would only be if the SIN-DXB leg was an EK flight number I think.
My understanding is it's in the enterprise agreement that deadheading pilots get J. Qantas don't have much room to move here, even if that means displacing a P1.
