Aaaaaand QF420 just executed a go around. An exciting and fitting start to my arrival into SYD

I’m on the tarmac in MEL on a delayed QF420. Need to collect luggage on arrival so might also be pushing it a bit time wise

Still no email in my inbox from QF, so if it wasn't for AFF, I'd be none the wiser about this DSC offer and the other assorted bonuses. I'm also in the "yeahnah, pass" camp on this DSC round, based on the lifetime exclusion. I've easily requalified for SG this membership year but too far away...

My flights are booked for the Masterclass but I’m an apology for dinner

Same here! Qantas is the airline I’ve been most “loyal” to over the years - in terms of maintaining status. Never had an OpUp on QF, but have had more op ups on other Oneworld carriers on account of my QF status

Maybe I’m in a fortunate minority, but I’ve been able to redeem LMs on quite a few trips to Europe, North America and Asia over the years, including via the good old Screenshot method (RIP). I’ve had generally ok interactions with the call centre too. Despite crackly lines and occasional...

This is a really good point! Even more important when many LCCs only have one or two flights a week on certain routes. A bit of weather or a plane with a tech issue can have major scheduling impacts. Thanks @RooFlyer ☺️

Great TR! Reading all the misadventures and lucky saves got the adrenaline going! That F lounge lentil soup looks identical to what I scooped out of the silver pot in the MEL QP the other day. Even by Qantas Club’s ever diminishing catering standards it was ordinary!

I provided two recent PNRs and within a couple of hours received this non-committal response, which reminded me a bit of how hotels respond to 3 star tripadvisor reviews. Your feedback regarding the lack of paper towels in the men's bathrooms has been noted and will be shared with the relevant...

I received an initial response from Qantas customer care within 24 hours which sounds very similar to other replies mentioned here. They also ask for my PNR. The only reason I can think of for that is for quality control to see if the paper towel complaints are coming from people who have...

I just submitted feedback via the app and look forward to the canned response. If the lounge dragons don’t look too busy next time I pass through a lounge I’ll mention it to them too. And @Seat0B yep it’s same old 1022 with a new username :-)

On my most recent flights I noticed empty tissue boxes in both MEL J lounge and SYD QP. I also observed that the two hand dryers in the gents in the MEL J lounge are placed too closely together for two people to comfortably use them simultaneously unless said gents are rather good friends...

My MEL-SYD-MEL flights a few days ago had the new modified version along the lines of "Welcome to [City - (English Name)] Qantas acknowledges the original custodians". In Sydney the CSM added "...the Gadigal people". Landing in MEL was just "traditional custodians" Basically just dropping the...

Just catching up. Terrific TR so far. Your dhow cruise pictures brought back memories of exactly a month ago to the day....warm sunshine, clear water, delicious food, true relaxation. Quite the contrast to a cold drizzly night at home in the Dandenongs after a busy work week with the first man...

Very much noted if we head back to Oman!! In fact I've just saved my e-visa email just in case!

You’ve dashed all my aspirations to ever set foot in a CL with this utterly prosaic photo!! I thought they would have had staff on hand to present the refined CL denizens with fine Egyptian cotton towels before offering an express manicure. “Shall I feed sir some grapes in the meantime?”

That is definitely the smug look of someone who would decide that hand towels were an unnecessary extravagance to provide to customers

I was about to comment that at least they could have gone from the nice thick paper towels to the Tork ones in order to enhance but retain most people’s preferred hand drying option. But then I donned a beancounter’s hat for a moment. It’s not just that they save x cents per paper towel that...

Oh I also noticed new foot door opener hook contraptions on the bottoms of the doors to the gents this week. I only just put 2 and 2 together that it might relate to the removal of the nice quilted hand towels as a nod to the seeming increase in germ phobia in society. (Gruen has done a few...

Perhaps just coincidence but all the paper towel dispensers were empty in the MEL QP when I was there on Tuesday and again must now in the BNE J lounge the paper towel dispensers were conspicuously empty. Coincidence or enhancement?
