    QF1 business meals

    I personally enjoyed J meals on this route (sept 2016). They did change the J menu recently, and my favourite chicken schnitzel sandwich is no longer offered on QF2, only QF1. But other than that, all was very tasty. I personally find the catering out of SYD doing a better job (by Q catering)...

    Qantas 787 Event

    OK I'll try to do a bit deeper analysis here... The new typefont is certainly a nod to the past. The now ex-typefont was rather an oddity when first introduced, with its leaning and curves, it felt fresh and I personally liked the softness of it. It's like the edges were polished off. Yet at...

    Award booking cancelled without notice

    in fact, it could be argued that the effort and the opportunity cost to the business (QF) in chasing QR or coming up with an alternative suitable itinerary is now greater than the forgone revenue of an award F seat they would loose by offering it as an acceptable alernative. The customer is...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    MEL-SYD 30 Sep 16 QF464 19:30 (Dinner) I was originally on QF462 which was cancelled and I got moved to QF464 which was the refurbed A330. Needless to say I did not hesitate to use the points to upgrade my Y ticken on that flight, as I have never tried the new suites :D On offer was the...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    19 Sep 2016 QF553 BNE-SYD 19h25 (Dinner) On offer was lemongrass chicken (hot option) or a greek style lamb? salad (cold option). I went for the hot option and wasn't disappointed - the dish was tasty and fragrant, and worked well with the bubbles. A white wine offered was S+S and red was I...

    QF Double Status Credits (SC) offer for all :)

    I had a similar situation when a booking for 2 pax made during the double SC promo had to be split as my partner is no longer travelling. When I called to split and cancel my partner's ticket, I specifically asked to ensure that my booking reference remained as per the original booking to be...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Lunch QF528 SYD-BNE Sun 18/09 Loads were 8/12. On offer was some "sweet and sour" soup, a "bread and butter camembert pudding" or a ceaser salad. Let's say I enjoyed the peacan tart. :D I decided to be adventurous and went for a bread and butter pudding which FA described to me was "like a...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Thanks for clarifying, that makes the decision easy. With the point cost of an upgrade being the same, I'd rather get a proper meal. :-)

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Is there much difference in domestic J catering between flights marked as "Dinner" vs "Refreshments" on SYD-BNE and SYD-MEL sectors? I have a flight coming up which I want to request an upgrade, but was wondering if I should change to a flight which departs 30 minutes earlier but is marked as...

    QF chauffeur drive two different experiences

    did your friend travel QF1 on 28/7? Our scheduled pickup for 11:45am for qf1 did not turn up, so after waiting for 15 mins I called the chauffeur service directly and they mumbled something similar about our flight been delayed and that that "we're still waiting to hear from Qantas". I...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate The magic SMS confirmation for J>F on QF1 SYD-LHR today (Thu) received at T-30 (PS) for 2 pax! Now, having been checking E/F regularly, this is what I can't really explain. All up until last Sun E/F was showing F8 A8 J7 C7, then on Sun it went down to 3 seats in F...

    Qantas Cash Card

    Is it available to everyone or a targeted offer? When I click on the link it says thank you for registering but I am not even logged into my QCC account. I can't find it on QCC website. Update: just spoke to QCC who were certain it was targeted, but then spoke to Qantas Loyalty who confirmed it...

    Bankwest Qantas Transaction account [being withdrawn in 2025]

    I can tell that I made the first three eligible spends in Jan, Feb, Mar and got the first lot of 5K credited in May. I believe this is because of the rule that says that if the account was opened mid-month and <$500 was spent in the first month, they will consider the following six months for...

    QF Double Status Credits (SC) offer for all :)

    Given that most people including myself have received DSCs within a week of flying, I wouldn't wait 6 weeks and would give them a call. By the time you get a call centre callback it will be 6 weeks anyway. :mrgreen:

    Red Roo gone?

    In the age when anyone with a social media account can become an instant spokesperson for the airline, it is difficult to believe that the management would leave these fronts exposed. Marketing 101 - perceptions matter. Most airlines are still in the dark ages when it comes to managing...
