Yes the agents at the lobby check in counters are very quick to offer to scan you up to the club for check in if you so wish. You could also ask a staff member on the floor without queuing at the regular check in counters, they've never questioned my eligibility.

It's this. Classic combined with Classic Plus is only possible with the new booking engine and not the legacy one which multi city is using. IMO I prefer the multi city engine not showing Classic Plus awards as it filters out options I'm unlikely to ever select.

Looking at FT - EK have currently have 3 scrapped and 13 parked of their ~123 A380 fleet. The spreadsheet also confirms that there are some ~22 A380's currently with the ex2 IFE screen (same as QF's). These are the A6-EDx rego's.

It's definitely a value proposition which is not as palatable now in 2024. But when they initially announced the A380 refurb in 2018 it may have made more sense. The 787 product at this time was only one year old. QF certainly thought it made sense to replace the A380 J and Y+ seats with the...

No I don't mean literally put in the 787 Y seat and layout, but they could have retrofitted generation of seat with the tablet holder, split tray table and newer generation IFE screen. Sort of like the Business Suite which is across A330, A380 and 787 but with slight differences to cater. Or...

This won't be the original EK A380 config, which had exactly the same screen as the QF A380. I'm not sure if any of those are still in service though. It would've been better if QF had retrofitted the 787 Y seats when they did the A380 refurbs, instead of just putting in new seat covers.

Flights don't earn points or SC's despite the higher redemption. Guess it does have 'Classic' in the name.

Regular Points Club doesn't have SC rollover so can't answer that one. The vouchers came automatically though.

Had a similar issue last year, but with regular Points Club. Got the runaround several times and took me a month to resolve. Documented in the general Points Club Discussion thread.

VH-EBA flew to SYD today as QF6118, and is currently en-route to Manilla as QF6035. Is that a charter or does it require further repair overseas?

Most definitely a QR code these days, its use even extends to outstation lounges.

If in T5, flying in BA F gives you access to a different lounge - Concorde Room with full table service, and an extensive menu more equivalent to the QF F lounge menu/service. Whereas the standard First lounge has a very limited menu that you order from using a QR code. I believe in T3 it's the...

But it appears everyone eligible for lounge access on CX any flight gets access to The House anyway, by virtue of the points above that statement (Business Class, First Class, Sapphire and Emerald). Hence the second part of the sentence seems redundant?

The wording of the second part is open to mis-interpretation. "... and all passengers traveling on CX178" seems to imply all passengers on that flight will have access. I think they mean all eligible passengers. Though all eligible passengers would have access regardless of the flight number?

No chance. Qantas is a follower, not a leader in this kind of area. 3-3-3 in a 787 is the industry norm.

There were two weeks of crazy flight fares recently due to the Taylor Swift phenomenon. Was looking at $1600 round trip in Y for triangle route flying the week of 19th Feb.

Is there a quick, simple pre-take off comparison list? Or do we have to learn about everyone's magic place as well?

Did a few domestics this week and have yet to see the short-haul version of the video. Like others have mentioned crew were using the voice only safety recording and manual demo. It was mentioned early on this thread that this is common trend lately, trying to attract passengers attention over...

Probably never, they want the first row of Y to be able to utilise under seat storage.

That would be for QFF's on QF4234, QF4221 and QF4235. It'd be clearer if they listed the codeshare numbers as well.
