    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I had a poke and can't find it any more either. There used to be a section to tick up to three or so interests - I didn't pick things like golf as I have no interest in that. Now there doesn't seem to be a place to nominate preferences, so everyone will get invites to the same events like...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    That’s a new one, I thought QF had systems to ensure only the person flying could have their FF details on, sounds like an error (possibly in your favour, unless your mum is chasing points/SCs). Maybe it had to do with your booking via the VIP team rather than yourself online? Maybe they...

    Ask The Pilot

    Pilots, if you were in charge of designing the sim sessions, what if anything would you change about them - do they sufficiently train in dealing with serious problems or are they inherently limited? Also, reading the sims are heavily booked and in use 24/7... does that inadvertently or...

    Reward bookings for others

    It would be remiss not to recommend he sign up for a QFF account for free anyway - plenty of ways to earn points for free or with no extra spend, and get on the points bandwagon!

    New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

    Pity none of our resident P1s seemed to get an invite to or report on this event?

    Qantas First Class menus

    Seeing and being served up Pat & Stick's ice cream sandwich in First seems really low rent. Something like cheesecake or chocolate cake would be much classier. I am an ice cream tragic so even vanilla bean ice cream (maybe with hot fudge) would be more fitting than something you have to unwrap...

    How long will QF use DSC promos - Your guess?

    Might be the triple points instead, or the joke?

    How long will QF use DSC promos - Your guess?

    I'm guessing indefinitely as it seems to yield nice sales spikes for QF and as is often said, status doesn't really cost them much to hand out unless pax are actually flying and using the benefits. They don't appear too perturbed about lounge overcrowding - especially when there's the odd QC...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Definitely an anti-service and severe waste of time if the escort wastes your time, I'd be so frustrated (I'm not that big a DYKWIA). We actually did get an escort arriving into DEL but it blurred because the first thing they said was my suitcase hadn't made it onboard, so my first thought...

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    As OP mentioned, there used to be hot towels in domestic J... and glasses of water or strawberryapple juice... and Fin Review and other newspapers...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Ah interesting. It wasn't far at all and the wait at immigration was minimal even if they could cut queues for us which they couldn't. While the DYKWIA factor is high this would be valuable only if they have the power to bring us to the front of immigration and security queues at the worst...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Flew Y (exit row) MEL-DEL recently. Really good service - we were Consistently™ served first, ahead of other Y passengers. Handwritten card, pyjamas, bottle of wine and other gifts offered and mostly gratefully accepted. Flew J back DEL-MEL. At check-in at DEL, we were escorted from the...

    What was your most memorable in-flight meal?

    I was trying to remember a humble story about a meal but couldn't - I wish I could say my most memorable meal was a simple mushy mess in Y, memorable only because it was my first ever flight or first flight alone or coming home after being desperately homesick, but honestly I can't remember...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    The official answer is here: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/use-points/classic-upgrade-rewards.html Unofficially, you'll get an idea by going through the below thread. In my experience (as a P1), my upgrades have consistently come through 27 hours before the scheduled flight...

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    I flew international J a few days ago and there were no hot towels.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    More success as P1 - QF70 DEL-MEL, received the message again at T-27 (can almost set my watch to it). Travelling with SG. Was able to get row 1.

    Ask The Pilot

    Not really an aviation question but - standoff bays at airports or whatever they’re called (as opposed to docking with an aerobridge)… why are they used when it looks like there are many vacant aerobridges? Bit annoying to have to herd into a shuttle bus and drive to the terminal building after...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Fly later per their comms. I'd like to think they've read our complaints about unpublished benefits and will commit to some improvements in writing. In dozens of flex fares in the golden triangle at peak times I haven't been able to make use of fly earlier at all, so that published benefit...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I feel like they’ve been reading AFF at least in part - they specifically said Fly Later is a published benefit. We sometimes focus on published vs. unpublished or inconsistent benefits.
