    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    I managed to get rid of the message somehow (even though I've checked all my details and nothing is missing) for a while, but it just couldn't stay away.

    Status Retained Emails

    I’ve just noticed this too in my email. The SCs it said I earned were close to 8,000, about double the truth. No contribution to LTP yet!

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    To QF's credit, the steps yesterday ended up being over the goal when it eventually worked, so did get the (meager) points for yesterday and today. So all's well that ends well.

    I tried that (on two devices) and no dice.

    Ways that hotels annoy guests

    Many of mine have already been said: +1 to checkin that takes ages - even at very expensive places IME. Being forced to fill in a registration form even though you've already filled in details - must be punishment for using a third-party website. Lengthening checkin even further. Lifts taking...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    You can also spread out your meals - eat once in the dining area, rest your bellies and eat again perhaps in the wider lounge area.

    Velocity wants to know if you prefer bonus status credits or points

    I also received the email. The app didn't have this offer to activate so it must be automatic. But I did see a separate offer for bonus SCs for business. They really must need the cash hit? 😕

    Virgin 787s?

    IMHO many of us want to and wish VA would succeed, even if only to keep QF honest and prices not too extortionate. But history (and lots of discussion on identical or similar topics on AFF!) suggests overextension and ambition will only lead to disaster. VA had international and wide body...

    Qantas First class SYD-LAX

    Thanks for sharing :) Acknowledging how things are meant to work versus how they really do, I’ve flown many times as a P1 in F or J and have only had the host when actually in F - I snagged the spa a couple of times but only after reaching the lounge. And never pyjama sizes - on board there...

    Can you transfer Qantas status credits?

    And in case you wanted a second opinion, also no. Only points.

    It’ll help the generous people searching if you include the origin and destination ports for the flights.

    Europcar caught scamming customer at Sydney Airport

    More than 10 years ago I wanted a luxury rental at SYD and hired a Mercedes E-Class from Europcar who seemed to be the only ones providing them. It was probably also when I was gifted Europcar status from VA? Returning the car they accused me of damaging it. They eventually relented but by then...

    QANTAS International Red Tail sale

    Just got an email suggesting the next DSC might be lobbing a few days after February 10 - not in those exact words ;)

    Melbourne Airport value parking

    I’m not sure about Sunday nights specifically but imho it’s up to you how you value your money and time, I’ve waited 0-10 minutes for the shuttle from the carpark, the ride takes <10 minutes depending on where you park and I’ve also waited 2-15 minutes at the terminal for the shuttle back...

    Qantas Cabin Baggage Survey Results Email

    Wow, BA’s cabin allowance seems huge and prone to nasty accidents! With QF I wouldn’t mind checking things in so much if they hadn’t taken so long to come out domestically even for premium. Things might have improved since.

    Unnecessarily complicated loyalty program rules & features

    Not all QF status credits are credited equal. Some contribute to lifetime and/or P1, but only if it’s not from a credit card/it’s called Loyalty Bonus/divisible by a prime number/comes doused with Neil’s vinaigrette. The T&Cs and list of ^*#%+ are long. VA’s rolling status credit earn also...
