Well, they absolutely do that for some of their products… their lower value more mass market products like accessories. But this is very off topic :) Back on topic, I wonder how quickly the roll out will be of the RM Williams kit…. How much stock they have to run down before it’s a good...

Hotel looks lovely! Which fast track service did you use / how did you book?

Not Virgin but have done so on both QF and JQ (young kids…. Such fun!) Both QF and JQ bookings were on cheapie fares, but didn’t request a refund -> into flight credit on both. Wasn’t charged any cancelation fees from either on provision of the med cert saying we couldn’t fly. Perhaps just try…...

Hong Kong - can confirm similar experience last week, I was fine but my colleague was attempting something similar to OP (BP crediting to AA - not high enough status to get into lounge, tried to use QF Plat card - declined entry and told they had to have the QF status on BP) Seems like Cathay...

Can confirm the kids are getting this year as just got them: - Qantas kids PJs - Qantas kids staff uniforms Very cute! For the adults they are still doing embossed luggage tags which are really nice too. Thanks Melbourne J lounge team :)

Got brought a Koko Black chocolate bar down (I was in Y) unprompted this morning on Syd-Mel with a cheery Merry Xmas from the CSM. Nice touch! Flying with the fam at Christmas I wonder if they will be doing the Joey stuffies again for the kids!

💯 agree, we’ve been holding out for QF to open this route up.

💯 thank you

Thanks for the heads up will look out for the express lane!

Sigh, yes have heard nightmare travel stories about SGN security… how long do you think to allow for an 8pm flight mid week?… Also what priority check in counter do you get as a plat? J desk?

Nothings pretty with the patch work alliance approach. Thank you! I saw that list and generally trust AFF more, so was surprised the AFF list didn’t include priority check in. How do you know what priority check in you get? Thank you, yes bummer about SGN but honestly for that port I’m more...

Flying SQ Economy (sigh) as a velocity plat out of: - Melbourne - Singapore - Ho Chi Minh City Referring here Complete Guide to Velocity Status Benefits on Partner Airlines. Am I correct in assuming there is no pretty check in / priority security at any of these airports for a Velocity...

Well a legacy Australian connection at least, Aesop is owned by L’oreal these days sadly.

Wow sounds like you encountered an untrained agent, so sorry to hear and sorry for your loss. I also sadly had to use this recently and QF could not have been more helpful, because we were travelling last minute to NZ on school hols (almost no seats) the flights were $$$ so the 10% was...

What are MEL Airport building in T1 then…. ?Near the QF pier A Gate 1, it’s boarded up and I thought it had words to the effect of ‘terminal connector or T1/2 connection or something’. Tired eyes when I walk past it but I’m sure it was something like that.

Lightning just struck twice for me. Second one for this season. Mel-Syd. I’ve been doing a tonne of international J flying on QF metal & code so think my PCV will be pretty high at the moment, unsure if this helps but just for the data point.

Heard this also that there are resources coming to ‘enforce and ensure passenger compliance’. Jetstar has certainly shown them the way they use the stick, it’s really not that hard for Virgin to replicate. But there are also reports that this was happening anyway from posters on AFF, although...

Slightly OT but from a colleague with connections at UA, apparently their AU flights are struggling… which reflects some of the commentary in this thread on many planes going out less than half full. I wonder if this means UA service cut backs are on the horizon too.

Damn was hoping they’d have something easier up by now. Was trying to work out if was worth getting VA plat, but when costing it up the VA codeshares in J to EU are so expensive, will probably give a miss. It’s QF/EK the cheapest then CX, QR now. If anyone has an abacus handy, if I fly QR code...

Does velocity have a points calculator? Trying to work out if I can be bothered doing VA codeshares to EU in J, but trying to work out how many points / status credits I will earn doesn’t appear to be simple…
