Re: Business class trip - no business class seats available forone leg & Qantas L cla I think you'll find that if your waitlist doesn't clear before they start allocating points upgrades to P1 members you'll be out of luck - it seems they'll switch unsold J inventory to U before D. I've had...

Looks like I'm wrong - I would have sworn that one of the QF reps at the recent Corporate Travel Show told me the SYD-SFO flights would be operated by both A380 and 747. Having looked again on the QF website it appears that's not the case - 747 and thus 3 class only. Means I'll still be flying...

Thanks - did some more digging on EF and it appears to be from October 25th. No good for this trip but might be my new route home from the US via Asia in the future.

Do you know when these flights start? I'm flying NRT-BNE on 11 Oct and currently on QF62 as I thought the A330 Business Suites would be the best option to get back to Oz. Obviously JL F would be much better, but I can't see those fights appear on Expert Flyer.

I suspect that was added because people like myself kept asking QF to add it to our member status page. Obviously the figure has no relevance (that we know of) beyond 14000 SCs however I always wondered where I was up to in the lifetime SC count after reaching LTG and appreciate the feature...

Fingers crossed the 'Available from 10:30am' menu will be available just that little bit earlier, otherwise how can I have my Salt & Pepper Squid (still the best I've had anywhere in the world) before boarding QF11?

And all is happy in the Qantas world again this afternoon. I got a reply email from the Manager of QF Rewards & Recognition at 9:10am this morning acknowledging my email and promising an update by COB. True to his word I just had a call confirming my WP membership would be extended for...

I've sent off an email to Lesley Grant's office as my last point of escalation, so we'll see if anything comes back from there next week. I still have my fingers crossed that everything will come good, the magic wand will be brushed over my account, a shiny new WP card will arrive in the mail...

The information gap in terms of the data I have to calculate my "ongoing value" to Qantas versus what Qantas themselves hold is an interesting one here. Without going into details, I would have expected that the higher up the request chain you go, the more information would be available to...

I'm not sure that my 23 Facebook friends will have that much of an influence, but what's wrong with creating the perception that Qantas will bend their rules for their frequent flyers? Part of my decision to have flown QF these last 10 years came from the way the FF area handled a not...

Thanks to all for your replies! After chilling for a few hours I do realise that my post is a candidate to appear in the next AFF newsletter as "Self-entitled member really puts the W in WP". In reality Qantas' decision here doesn't have too much real world bearing. I won't lose any lounge...

Reached it years ago. So yes, I can still get Admirals Club access if needed. Thanks for reminding me how 'first world problem' I'm being. :)

Not with AA. Domestic F doesn't include lounge access - in the US that only comes with status.

Inbound yes, but internal flights (eg SFO-LAX-AUS) are where the magic shiny card is needed.

Probably not, but assumably QF11/12 to LAX and QF61/62 to NRT are more their liking, even if the latter is only in J. Not my fault they dropped First from QF127 to HKG so I can't book that anymore. :)

It does seem trivial but yes, I do like to partly justify my business expenses in these cases by the personal benefits I can get out the other side. Good question re AA points - maybe time to credit to AA instead?

There's always a use for points - 10k is a domestic flight I don't have to buy when I take my family on holidays.

It's mainly for LAX - I transit through there fairly often on domestic AA flights.

Actually I didn't even consider that. Looks like I'll be about 10000 points worse off by flying as a SG.

On the international legs, not really. Flying domestic in the US, yes it does - mainly in terms of lounge access (Flagship Lounge) and the checkin/boarding process on AA domestic and American Eagle flights. Yes, they have followed the letter of their rules, no dispute there. I'm just...
