Clearly upgrades aren't guaranteed even with space available - what other criteria are QF using?

Pick one of the hotels @33kft mentioned based on your willingness to spend, they're all within ready walking distance. It's long enough that trying to sleep in a chair is very unattractive to me and I'd rather the humanity that a private room and bathroom provides, fresh for the next day of flying.

Around halfway through the T&Cs it says "All bookings must be new to be eligible." This is more for the DSC/double points thread, than a loyalty bonus query...

The T&Cs say "Once the registration period is closed, Qantas will not accept changes to members' preferred bonus reward choice." That suggests you can change it in the next few days. Also see above.

What a turnaround. Maybe the reasons they mentioned in the email response about needing a sustainable scheme were outweighed by the backlash?

Unbelievable. Clearly they need to cull those marching took quickly to LTG.

Nice pickup folks! It showed up on the app now

I was surprised to receive a set too, I'd have guessed they were only sending these new ones out for renewals. I also note the electronic boarding passes clearly say 'PLATINUM ONE' next to the logos, while other statuses (NB, WP) don't. Being P1 didn't save me from indifferent service on my...

300 SCs left I’d definitely go for it, but not say >1,500.

Not stupid. If you dread rather than are looking forward to hiring and driving a car, let someone else worry about being behind the wheel/running the train. It might be a good investment so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Sometimes I just don't want the hassle of worrying about parking...

IMHO (and it's only my guess) it is about forcing you to pay $$ for one of the flights, often the return, or take an undesirable stopover. I bet they have analysts crunching the numbers and dedicated to maximising profits and filling seats. It's not about polluting the planet further. Even with...

I remember (some of) crazydave's posts and loved the involvement. Nice to see him pop back to say hi... and I do wonder about and miss some of the other prolific posters from 'back in the day.'

Nice but shame my upcoming flights have companions

From the P1 email that just came out it said the update will be “help our frontline teams identify you more easily”. The cynic in me says that’s an admission we kept on being overlooked and ignored, and now this will get staff to KWIA!

Having AFF as a place on the Internet to come to when I want to totally tune out of domestic and global politics - which is quite often nowadays.

I’d also stay at a hotel, as having access to a private bed and bathroom makes me feel much more human, ahead of possibly a day of flying. But it seems you have a much higher tolerance for overnighting in terminals!

Presumably you mean NAN for Nadi, Fiji https://www.world-airport-codes.com/colombia/macanal-4310.html

Have a great trip, it's worth trying once so you don't die wondering and can speak from experience. You might have a fantastic experience (hopefully things will get better after you get off JQ - for a short initial leg it's not that bad), but you already know to go in with low expectations. It...

Received the tax invoice error email too, which looks a lot more professionally formatted. Given I'll drop from P1, a new blue card that'll last a few months will be a novelty.
