Trans-Tasman I expect

In my recent QF flights they've made and repeated the announcements to keep power banks out of the overhead lockers and within easy reach. I probably have to agree with jb747, a blanket ban seems inevitable.

I've had it so easy, I'm positive there are far far worse process out there. But even then I feel like the visa application systems of various governments are intent on seriously getting you to question your willingness to proceed or live. Recently did Indonesia and Vietnam and they were painful...

When I really need to wake up (such as for an early flight), I set two alarms a few minutes apart. On the same device is fine. Sometimes I can barely consciously switch off or snooze an alarm and then sleep deeply for a dangerously long time afterwards. Always have least two pens in carry-on...

Success BKK-SYD - × 3 so I was a little anxious that many might be harder. Thanks to Captain Halliday, was showing J5 C5 D5 I0 U0 shortly before the success text came at T-25.

Thank you so much @Captain Halliday :) Edit update: And the upgrades have come through, at T-25 😀

Thanks, sorry, is tomorrow Saturday 6th possible please?

May I please ask for tomorrow 6/9/2025 QF296 BKK-SYD? Thanks very much in advance.

I planned but forgot to include my quip - he was pointedly in one of the lounge chairs and not the dining area working his way through the menu!

Clearly upgrades aren't guaranteed even with space available - what other criteria are QF using?

Pick one of the hotels @33kft mentioned based on your willingness to spend, they're all within ready walking distance. It's long enough that trying to sleep in a chair is very unattractive to me and I'd rather the humanity that a private room and bathroom provides, fresh for the next day of flying.

Around halfway through the T&Cs it says "All bookings must be new to be eligible." This is more for the DSC/double points thread, than a loyalty bonus query...

The T&Cs say "Once the registration period is closed, Qantas will not accept changes to members' preferred bonus reward choice." That suggests you can change it in the next few days. Also see above.

What a turnaround. Maybe the reasons they mentioned in the email response about needing a sustainable scheme were outweighed by the backlash?

Unbelievable. Clearly they need to cull those marching took quickly to LTG.

Nice pickup folks! It showed up on the app now

I was surprised to receive a set too, I'd have guessed they were only sending these new ones out for renewals. I also note the electronic boarding passes clearly say 'PLATINUM ONE' next to the logos, while other statuses (NB, WP) don't. Being P1 didn't save me from indifferent service on my...

300 SCs left I’d definitely go for it, but not say >1,500.

Not stupid. If you dread rather than are looking forward to hiring and driving a car, let someone else worry about being behind the wheel/running the train. It might be a good investment so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Sometimes I just don't want the hassle of worrying about parking...
