Re: Shiraz in Shiraz: Street feast Prices for the visa on arrival have regularly gone up over the last couple of years. This price was valid for a visa on arrival with an Australian passport a couple of days ago (I'm typing this from Tehran). There is also the insurance - unless you can prove...

Re: Shiraz in Shiraz: Street feast Just to add to this - yes USD or Euro are fine. Current cost is 175 USD or 145 Euro.

Re: QF1 F arrival into LHR questions - limo and the arrivals lounge. I've done this several times, usually I'm heading straight into the office so I want to shower before I leave T3 - go to the chauffeur drive desk, tell them you've arrived and are going to have a shower/breakfast in the...

I'm attempting to beat the addiction - and it's actually going quite well. I realised at the start of my QFF year that I was unlikely to maintain WP1 this time - 5 months of being grounded during the year due to a variety of personal reasons would see to that. Initially I was pretty...

I've been to both Iran and the US several times since the VWP changes came into effect last year. I got a 5 year multi entry visa to the US (fairly straightforward process). No issues getting into the US at all. I wouldn't worry about it.

For what its worth - the company used for my delivery this year is called Sendle. Seemed to do an ok job.

Looking back (through this thread) my Krug arrived on the 18th Dec

Yes - always a fun little diversion in December. I got the Krug last year, but only after weeks of painfully watching as others get their presents (yes - I am that shallow).

Early Christmas present from QF - bottle of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2006 arrived via courier this morning. Thanks very much.

A bit late...but... Off went my 4095 SC at the start of the month. Noticed that was my 10yr anniversary with QF and a grand total of just over 36,000 :shock:

I concur with most of these (especially the drinks menu). The only thing I'd add is that, whilst I find the bed very comfortable, I'm almost always too warm and end up having a poor nights sleep. The air vents don't seem to push as much cool air through as the ones in business. The only reliable...

Thanks JohnK

Hi, I'm flying Perth - Singapore - Cochin next week. Perth to Singapore with Qantas followed by Singapore to Cochin with Silk Air and a transfer time of about 2 1/2 hr. Separate PNRs and with checked luggage. A couple of questions. First - am I right in presuming that Qantas won't check the...

Re: UK - in or out of the EU? As usual Matt sums it up perfectly:

I certainly like the F experience but I spend most of my points on family travel which doesn't leave many for upgrading myself. I think two of the upgrades had the Platinum One message and the other was a straightforward oversold op-up

It was a revenue ticket in J, no points upgrade request - new boarding pass issued at the lounge in Dallas (with an "enjoy your flight" message from the Platinum One team. Just checking my activity statement and that's the third op-up in the last 12 months on that route (out of 8 SYD - DFW or...

Ok Qantas - it's a deal. You can carry on sending me bland corporate emails as long as the op-ups keep coming. J to F on QF8 yesterday - thanks very much Platinum One team

Just received my "Don't miss out on Platinum One" email - highlighting that my renewal date is in 4 months time and I haven't yet requalified. Some might see this as a kindly reminder from the Qantas Loyalty team who are looking after my interests in case I've forgotten. However - given that my...

Re: How many Qantas points did you earn in 2015? 620k 500k from flying, 120k from credit card spend.

My total SC count has been pretty constant for the last two membership years - around 5400. Last year I didn't get anything at Christmas, this year I got the Krug. I suspect that the change is because I've earnt more SCs that have a ~ and hence have increased my value to QF - which kind of makes...
