I don't have either. By my current maths to retain platinum I'd need a further 611 status credits by the end of July next year, even if I did have the TSCs that's $2444 spend to retain which even at that isn't worth it.

One thing I'm yet to try but apparently you can do (try at own risk) is get a refund for AccorPlus China provided you haven't used any of the vouchers. For the credited nights they apparently reverse them. Given we're now moving to a calendar year program for me this won't be something I'll try...

My guess is that the previous year could have been booked during a sale but even with that a Friday compared to a Tuesday makes a big difference. In December the cheapest Friday MEL-BNE oneway starts at $143 whereas $121 on a Tuesday and even better $100 on a Wednesday. Throughout the year...

After 1 October can still go 2:1 into Velocity from CBA then transfer Velocity to Krisflyer. This works out at 1 CBA point to 0.32 Krisflyer miles whereas the direct is 1 CBA point to 0.33 Krisflyer miles so not a major loss.

If you've got status and looking at the lounge invitations page this will often show. The no access means you currently can't link an invitation to that booking but obviously with status that is not an issue.

All same day status run?

Well to answer the question, nope it doesn't need to be a QF ticket. I had an economy reward seat booked via Flying Blue which received an upgrade.

Australia has an open skies agreement with Malaysia and Singapore so it doesn't need to go through IASC. Same as how you don't see Qantas applying to IASC for flight to New Zealand. There are some exceptions to this with one example a recent Indigo codeshare to NZ which required approval as it...

5:15pm right now, it's 4 hours prior to EK departures currently the 9:15pm EK407, this will change 6 Oct to 6:15pm opening time then from 27 Oct to 6:30pm.

I had a citibank debit card that I held for years, once up was released mainly didn't use it but kept for emergencies. It got transferred over to NAB and then they closed it due to inactivity, I was a little annoyed as it was handy to have a spare debit card with no fees but no there is no benefit.

I want some of what you're drinking!

Should have done a deal with EK like in AKL!

Keep me away from 18A/F and 20A/F!

Brisbane I've seen them tell people to change shoes and Melbourne I've seen someone at the bottom of the escalator at peak times. I agree never seen it enforced in Sydney and they probably need to.

Only applies to major capital city domestic lounges.

Bad if true… “you can submit a request but we have no way to action it”

Any clue why?

QF allow it at QF lounge where you’re guested by someone on a regular ticket and are entering as their guest. Other oneworld airlines like Cathay have things like their own status members (only, not OWS/E) can access CX operated lounges prior to CX staff travel but nothing else.

More bandwidth on new sats plus no shaping currently. This may change but on the NBN sats Qantas is bandwidth limited whereas the new ones less so. Air NZ seem to have a similar thing only provisioning so much bandwidth to each aircraft probably due to cost.

Nope invitations have only ever been valid at QF operated lounge.
