You can get gold easily enough from a single holiday to Europe in J, I'm sure there'd be lots of kids who picked up gold at the same time as their parents that way.

Qantas will surely go the same way sooner or later. Fortunately Qantas fares are so high that it will probably make earning status easier!

The only way you'd get SCs for each leg is if the flight number changed (or you had a >24hr stopover).

PCV or "perceived commercial value".

You're lucky you like the wine that has bonus points attached. All the big heavy shiraz gets a bit much after a while!

I'd be surprised if that works given gift cards are not usually redeemable for cash.

I thought MCT SYD T3-T1 was 90 minutes?

Seems they have a bit of work to do on it; e.g. on ADL-MEL for the coming month, the calendar shows Classic+ available almost every day but going through to booking and nothing's available at all.

The loyalty bonus means e.g. platinum really requires 1300 SCs rather than 1400 SCs. If chasing status the SCs are definitely the better option. Now that I'm lifetime gold and not flying that much I picked the points for the first time this year (ended my year with ~780 SCs so another 50 would...

If they're like the Melbourne lounge you can use the Skip app to place your coffee order without queuing.

Easiest way to tell is to try to link it to your flight.

£253 APD for a J class flight to Australia. I guess that's only about the same price as a taxi to Heathrow :oops:

If it wasn't confusing and convoluted it wouldn't be PER!

Coincidentally my partner just made Gold, and got this screen on logging in:

On a recent BA flight from LGW-PMI. I was in 2C in BA's "business class" (lol). Chap in front in 1C was behaving quite oddly pretty much from takeoff. Kept sort of bouncing up and down in his seat every few minutes. I assumed he had some sort of condition and thought no more about it. After...

Yes as others have said, it's just the general service counters now at MEL T1. There was no dedicated premium queue operating on Saturday PM but the airport was pretty quiet so wait was quite short. Agent seemed a little confused by the concept of an international connection but we got there in...

Does Qantas still have a dedicated desk in MEL T1 check-in for international connections? Or do you just check in like a normal domestic flight these days?
