It was due to days of cancelled flights for cyclone Gabrielle.

Yes. Just Concorde Room that requires F.

T5 has conformance at security - this is the time you must join the security queue by or you will be directed to transfers desk to rebook. I'm not sure exactly how long before departure this is, but given QF's atrocious OTP for QF1 personally I would be booking the later flight.

Final tally was 1000 flights cancelled (829 Air nz alone).

At least you are getting invites. Some of us don't get them.

Air NZ cancelled all AKL domestic flights from 4pm. So getting up towards 700 cancelled flights for the storm just for Air NZ.

When I had to rebook in December due to covid there was no change fee and a modest fare difference.

A further 100 cancelled Air NZ flights (600 total so far).

Not just rain, high winds too. Hauraki Gulf 160 kmh last night. Central pressure about 967hPa. Several towns completely isolated and without power, phone or internet.

At AKL alone approx 400 flights cancelled yesterday. Air NZ reports over 500 cancelled flights. Rain has eased in Auckland but still windy. Air NZ due to resume AKL flights from midday today (but probably not all routes as still rough weather in eastern North Island and upper south island)...

Don't get too excited. LH has lots of lounges but some you won't have access to unless flying F or have HON status, some inaccessible due to wrong side of schengen/non-schengen. AC lounge is quite good (or was pre-covid as I haven't been back since).

It's extra-tropical now but heavy rain and high wind warnings for all of the north island and upper south island.

Air NZ has cancelled all regional flights for upper and central North Island (KKE, WRE, AKL, HLZ, TRG, ROT, TUO, GIS, NPE) starting from 12th pm through to 14th am, has cancelled all AKL domestic flights between 6am 13th to 14th am, and most AKL international arriving or departing flights for...

I expect the 2023 thread will be longer than that if there is no 2023 qff dsc offer!

SQ is worse. Their newest suite (now several years old) has separate bed and chair, and the chair swivels.

Or ex-nz for more scs for lower fare than ex-oz.

This. My experiences over the past year is urgent emails to vip team do not get responded to (at all). 3 trips ago (late December 2022), when I had to reschedule (due to recovery from covid taking too long) the day before travel with 6am departure, I called vip team.

Correct. There were also sleep rooms.

We do get qf newsletters in the eastern isles, maybe once a year. Usually includes promotions only available to Oz residents (ie they don't customize for non australians).

I didn't receive the newsletter (as usual in the eastern isles) so presumably fine to continue with emailing the vip team when needed.
