    Sending in positive feedback on FA's or airport staff to airlines

    I wondered particularly what happens to airlines in the US which can be so hit or miss. I flew on an AA flight out of MIA and the agent at the admirals club went so far above and beyond. In the US - particualrly at AA where it hasn't seemed like they've valued customer service for a while (and I...

    Sending in positive feedback on FA's or airport staff to airlines

    Wondered if anyone with more info or who works in the industry can advise what actually happens when you provide positive feedback on feedback forms about airline staff (airport or flight attendants or otherwise?) I usually try and write a feedback form or a message on twitter at least to...

    Qantas-LATAM anecdotal reciprocal benefits

    What has people's experience been generally travelling on LA into/out of Australia and intra South America with QF status? I know the technical rules / benefits per the website but wondering for example how much luck people have had getting into the QF F lounge and flying LA. Also in LA lounges...

    Any benefit to linking rewards bookings?

    I’ve done this exact routing many times (unfortunately - once you get to LAX on the return you really start to be over flying). The only benefit as people have pointed out above - really - is that you don’t have to mind your bags in lax before the qf check in opens later in the afternoon. That...

    AS-AA connections, same PNR

    Understand that. INT AS - DOM AS - INTL AA is the itin i was thinking of. Transfer between the 2 AS flights at Seattle - so 1hr 20 is tight but doable. But if i miss that, there's an AA flight 1 hr later or an AS flight 6 hours later. I'm wondering whether AS-AA cooperation extends to rebooking...

    AS-AA connections, same PNR

    Looking at an AS-AA itinerary later this year (AS to DOM AS to INTL AA) which has a very short transfer time (1hr20m). Because it's a multi-leg itinerary to another international flight, it works better to take the AS connection but there's another AA flight 45 mins later (so about 2hr transfer...

    Qantas A380 economy - QF plat seating

    I'm a Platinum! Back in the day, i'd always snag a seat upstairs in the 8 rows of economy on the A380 as you'd sometimes get business / PE style service. With economy now being all downstairs, are there any decent picks (ie first few rows of economy that get looked after better, row 88?)

    QF upgrade - how do they clear ?

    I heard that qantas assigns a 'value' that discriminates between different 'types' of platinums / plat1's etc when it comes to determining the order of upgrades (incl op-up) - and this is based on spend / length of time as a OWE etc? Is this true? Thanks Jack

    QF P1 partner platinum

    I have the ability to gift my P1 platinum partner membership to my partner. His membership expiry date is currently end of April each year. I'm wondering whether - as he is not due to fly for another few months - I hold off on requesting the platinum membership be allocated to him & that Qantas...

    Seen a few threads on this but interested in any updated beta - QF WP flying ex LAX on Westjet, but booked on QF points and it’s a QF codeshare. Should be able to visit the QF F Lounge but wanted to see what experiences have been like assuming lounge attendants understand rules? Also...

    Qantas international routes not resumed

    Qantas/AA weird SYD-LAX availability

    I'm trying to book QF (or the AA codeshare on QF metal) for SYD-LAX end of October/beginning of November. That 2 week period 24/10-7/11 seems weird...some days there are no seats available at all, in any class, on the A380 where it seems pretty obvious that there are economy/PE/J/F class seats...
