    Thanks for all the corrections. Not my experience. 2020 LAX-DCA return Economy, very firm memory of boarding group 1. I'll double check the BPs.

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    My experience in the US as qantas platinum in economy has been boarding group 1. Recent experience in Europe, boarding group 1, again platinum. But on a business award with the second leg in economy. So not sure if business on the first flight kicked in or status. Singapore airlines was...

    Potential item theft in checked baggage on VA domestic

    Well since the Op does not need to prove anything to a random on the internet, the fact you haven't seen evidence does not mean the evidence doesn't exist. The expediency of someone witnessing a document does NOT change the legal standing of the document. Their job is to attest to the person...

    What cheeses me off

    Hmm, apparently first escalator was installed in the tube in 1911 in Earls Court Apparently their was a knapsack patent given in the US in 1878... Pretty sure I've seen pictures of ww1 soldiers with backpacks. I think the real reason is to just conform to the continent. Maybe with Brexit that...

    What cheeses me off

    Well except you're allowed to go on red for emergency vehicles. Completely acknowledge the safety aspect, so be careful. Having a dear friend die of a heart attack, I get angry at dumb F$%^s who do not clear the way as best possible.* *edit: I'm not stupid enough to think a quick ambulance...

    Fixing QF Lifetime Status

    Regarding Penny Wong's status. Firstly, she is a senator not an employee, different travel rules. I'd assume it was all business travel, from the parliamentary allowances as per the rules. Or a substantial proportion (98%+) was business. I have no idea how many times a year they have to go to...

    Potential item theft in checked baggage on VA domestic

    The evidence you demand requires proving a few elements - It was owned, it was in the case and it was taken from the case or did not arrive. Purchase receipt proves they owned the item. Actually a statutory declaration is an Oath under whichever legislation applies and therefore has the same...

    Jetstar charges passenger $65 extra for wearing 6kg of clothing

    Jetstar spokesperson confusing weight with volume. Hopefully, their pilots have a better grasp of basic physics.

    Qantas flags record profit.

    Well of course, leisure markets. But perhaps the key point has been missed, Asian has growing upper and middle classes. Growing!!! Pretty fundamental if you want to grow your business, access the growing market,

    Qatar Airways Seat Selection

    It might be a long shot, but your could see if the airline staff know about the FQTV and FQTS fields. FQTV for accrual and FQTS for status recognition. I briefly asked about changing my FF number on a Qatar booking to send earn to VA and not QF recently. The agent in Rome started to say things...

    Qantas flags record profit.

    Half the world's population in our region! Having tried to attract international meetings to Australia a few times, I still get "It's a long way to travel". (yet the Europeans expect that they should dominate activities, and ignore that it's a long way for us to travel to Europe :rolleyes: )...

    Should we book cheap J ticket HK-AMS via Delhi on Air India?

    Have you tried some travel vlogs on U-tube. Can usually get a decent review from recent flights. I'm laughing about dismissing a long haul business class seat based on a 2 hour flight. I would've thought there was no basis for comparison - chalk and cheese. I mean if I consider 2 hours on a...

    Seat Selection Denied - VA Codeshare Flight with Singapore Airlines

    To OP, Status earning may be higher with a VA flight number, at least it appears to be higher for Qatar. I'm probably wrong for SQ https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/airlines/singapore-airlines The information is also very clearly accessible on the VA website. Login...

    Email received from VA - Share your thoughts, and lunch with our Velocity CEO

    I did not use the word mandatory. I certainly agree with the benefits of an alliance that you've articulated. Although, I suggest your points were covered in my post by the preceding paragraph that you didn't quote:

    Going [through] MAD as a QF Gold.

    Was there a couple of weeks back connecting from ORY to VLC. It took FOREVER to find the way upto the lounge from the concourse. A complete lack of signage to find the lift upto the inside of security. I could see the lounge up above, I could only see down escalators. I could see the lounge...

    Qantas flags record profit.

    As a board member he still has the ability to influence direction and bring projects to the board. Lack of 'veto power' is irrelevant. Being on a few advisory/executive/management boards, I'm not sure there is a general understanding about how they work. A good Chair/Board will have already...

    Email received from VA - Share your thoughts, and lunch with our Velocity CEO

    I'm hesitant to bring up the complimentary upgrades. As mentioned they have very little practical value. But I'd hate to give them a reason to remove the benefit. Actually, providing things like priority boarding is a massive benefit for me. I get there are issues with the special entry in...

    Hmm, it does say 'local' travel expenses, which is code for a taxi. or a BCC bus.
