$100 is steep for row 4, hopefully keeps it quiet for P1s. I'm keen to see if shadows are much of a thing in Y+ or if they'll prefer to sell the seat, and keep shadows for the rear cabin.

@burneracc made a handy tool to help with these situations: I built a free tool that calculates qantas earn rate on oneworld flights

An 'enhancement' for SG I guess.

We parked at the terminal and flew HLO on the weekend. Walking out of the car park into the same level security checkpoint was very quick and convenient.

Yep prior to Y+ launching they just appeared as normal seats in the seat map.

After changing about 6 bookings with other non status pax, I wasn't charged for any of them.

Looks like row 5 is blocked for WP again - I moved to 5AB yesterday.

I had a look at some upcoming bookings: 737 - WP can select row 5 onwards for free A220 - WP still charged to select Y+ A321XLR - WP can select row 6 onwards for free Row 5 and 6 appear to be blocked for NB on the 737.

Just as an FYI, the current 25% off domestic Y CR applies to release requests. Had 2 pax approved for BNE-MEL return for the QLD long weekend in May. The times I wanted (no more 6am/9pm flights with an infant 😅) were $300 each way so it made for good value.

Haha my old AU Falcon used to do it, had me worried the first time 😅

I've definitely seen this multiple times on 737s departing Brisbane.

I've had good success in VA J flying forward if there's room with HLO. Similar to you though - I always fly out of SYD Friday arvo and QF almost always offer fly ahead through the app, usually by late morning.

I have occasionally seen SIN>CDG in J but charges are reasonably high - I think it was about $900pp.

Opinions like this are going to divide many. I along with many other AFFers have flown in long haul premium cabins (J and F) with children with zero issue. In fact we had people approach us after several flights exclaiming they didn't even know there was a baby there. It's generally the...

Seems like you'd be best to focus on cash flights to not burn into the points balance.

They'll probably manage them like other premium routes where it's impossible to get F without having WP to call up anyway.

If you try and select a flight with an infant then it prevents you from proceeding.

I wondered when the <9yo restriction would flow on to bookings via QF (I assumed it had when they announced it originally). We had booked to fly QF F BNE>SYD>LHR then on to ARN with BA. There tyuy rewards last minute for EK F BNE>DXB>ARN which would've been ideal - but didn't want to leave it...

I would kind of expect at Platinum Plus that they would attempt to contact you about making that connection rather than assuming. Maybe I am expecting too much though. I've had personal phone calls for this and boarding just as WP with QF.

I don't expect to have my flight called in the lounge, make everyone wait to make my way down, and then move through the groups. If I want to be boarding with group 1 I make sure I'm at the gate 10 min prior rather than stuffing my face with beer and snacks 😅
