I can think of better things to spend ~$800K on than lifetime WP I have to say ;)

I imagine Qantas would want to pay them such a low rate for award seats that it wouldn't be worth their while.

If you pay Qantas in Australia, and Qantas are registered for GST, then legally they must provide a tax invoice.

A monthly subscription to seatspy.com might be worth it if you're having trouble finding award seats.

What? You thought WPs were special? Well think again, this is Qantas after all.

Maybe they never offer it because they know you wouldn't want it. Evidence of how much research they do and how well they know their customers ;)

Conversely, what use are SCs if you don't fly? Status does nothing unless you actually travel to use it.

The way the international upgrade system works is certainly not made readily apparent to the average punter. I remember a friend of mine telling me about calling Qantas when she decided to upgrade a SYD-KUL flight for the first time ever. She was expecting the process to be as simple as for...

That seems a very old fashioned attitude. Being loyal to QF these days comes in many forms besides actually putting in time in a seat. It's all about the $$$ at the end of the day.

Flying J shows you that air travel doesn't have to be a completely horrendous experience. It's a wake up call if anything!

They have one mixed red dozen with 30k bonus points at the moment, if you like reds :)

What happens to the signs/queues with the new grouped boarding system? Presumably they won't be needed any more?

Priority boarding isn't a OW ruby benefit at all, it's not just QF. I'd say the graphic design work experience kid grabbed the wrong image file :)

The ramifications of cancelling the single (as it generally is) flight a day to a longhaul destination, which would also imply cancelling its return, would be far more significant than cancelling a short domestic flight that's usually one of multiple. I'd be surprised if they would ever do that...

Would they have had enough passengers as a standalone PER-LHR flight rather than nominally starting from the east coast?

Thanks guys, I found that thread but was confused by the talk of CEO vs NEO, as I'm not sure how to tell which type this plane is. From the thread it sounds like row 23 does have extra legroom on one of the models but not on the other.

Is anyone familiar with this seat layout on a BA A321? I have us in 23 B/C at the moment as it says it's an exit row, but have read some things which suggest it might not actually have extra leg room? Seatguru doesn't even seem to show this config plane.

You can pay to access EK lounges, although it's quite pricy ($150 USD or something).

So they still haven't gotten rid of incoming cards? What's taking them so long!

Give them a call and ask if there's any way to reinstate them, they may offer you a points challenge to earn X points in a certain amount of time in order to get them back.
