Just an FYI, I've heard that QF has been handing out upgrades very proactively in May but that policy had a hard stop on 1 June. This was for WP and P1 so don't expect these as frequently moving forward.

In one word...yes My aim in life is never to have to travel Y again. I have a very very reasonable corp travel policy and am a single guy so always looking for a single redemption or reasonable fare so hoping its not too challenging a goal. Early 30s with LTG under the belt and P1 and almost...

For me it depends, my general rule is post take off as I've had some SIN an HKG - SYDs that have returned to the gate for engineering issues. However, for SIN i now give in and just get changed pre-take off as its just too short a flight. For LAX, HKG and on my EK sectors I usually wait until...

Agreed! For many months now I've been leaving the lounge at T-30 as they usually board at around T-25. Nothing new here and has been welcomed as my syd mel vv have often been early if not on time.

Am I missing something? Why do they need to codeshare? This is QF which belongs to an actual alliance whereby they get reciprocal benefits and earning

Agree with the sentiment here...if you fly one particular airline frequently let them look after you in their own way. There's no consistent way to recognize a tier above emerald. Just be thankful for emerald as star and scaryteam are pretty average topping out a relatively mid tier. I cant...

Just been manning the Koh Samui office and presiding over the BKK one for the remainder of the week. My photos seem to large to upload sadly apart from the two average ones below

I’ve had that a few times recently but no issues yesterday after this was reported. Also had issues on the final stage of booking EK flights but last night managed to secure some EK F in the next few months.

I’m through SYD F on Friday but someone will likely beat me to it today/tomorrow

I’ve had it once on a SYD DPS where they prevented someone from shifting. It was the 330 and was in the 2 section and not in bulkhead but would realistically be up to the crew on the day I’d imagine

I’ve also been offered a double points for my ‘next flight’ Do you think I can combine the triple SC and double points together? Also struggled to interpret the T&Cs if next flight is one segment or a return. I’m not fussed on VA status as every man and his dog has some VA status already let...

What is the best value BKK hotel? Will be stopping by for a couple of nights shortly. As a gold I wouldn’t expect much as it’s 5th from the top.

As a general rule I wouldn’t rely on fly ahead. If there is weather it will get enacted but outside that they seem to manage the route very tightly especially if you’re less than P1 and not on a flex

Have been monitoring the last few flights on the IPAD and I’ve been the only P1 on most lately. 2 CLs on this evenings mel Syd and I’m the solo P1. I still think we are slightly special.

I guess hotels are always YMMV but from someone who’s spends about 150 nights a year in hotels and have done the hard yards I would recommend Marriott over any hands down. No love lost though as that’s a spare room someone else can take so I get an upgrade

Any other frequent afternoon visitors lamenting the loss of hot food? Seems in the last few weeks QF lounges are removing the hot options around 3pm

Received my first upgrade as a P1 in the last few days. This would’ve likely been the first personal revenue fare so the first time in Y paid as usually in J or F for work. Brings me to the question whether others have received the VIP team message on redemptions as that’s usually my preferred...

It can be horrific, don’t make any plans after or need to connect

I have to vehemently disagree here…I’m ambassador and mid tier with many other programs and Marriott are so so so much more consistent than others. It’s so rare to get knocked back for a 4pm yet Hilton will barely budge and Accor are the worst. Regarding the JW, I agree…sadly it’s usually the...

Had to take a late golden triangle flight this eve (post 7.59pm) and just wanted to highlight that it is not a dinner service as people seem to be very sensitive to timings. Cheese plate was perfect at the time…do prefer the Bethany Shiraz or Grenache to Heirloom but still quite drinkable.
