thanks Wilson. One thing that has been frustrating me is the tendency for Hyatt to ask you to pay for the room at the start of the stay and then whenever you order room service or laundry etc during the stay, they are done as separate transactions (paid again on the spot) and do not appear on...

Redemption eticket has the award tier listed in the fare box "Reward/Tier 1@14100" for my PER/MEL flight

Next week, so pretty happy

rang this morning and call went off-shore - wanted to cancel a reward booking which cannot be done online, managed to secure another reward booking PER MEL at the new reduced rate (on a Friday afternoon flight...)

I have struggled with flow forward in J - on Mel/Syd, Mel/Bne - put it down to more smaller planes being used

I have never had an issue selecting preferred seating on EK long haul or short haul. TA books as QF flights (if available) or EK on non-code share with QF FF number. Itinerary from TA has QF and EK booking ref. Using EK booking ref access booking on EK app and you can select seats and meal...

yes the signage at Doha could be better overall...

make sure you are using the EK booking ref, not a travel agent one

Have 2 seats Mel/Lhr in Dec. First sector is domestic connecting to QF9 from Per. QF9 on the departure day now has FF seats Mel/Per - rang to see if I could get rid of the domestic connection and fly QF9 whole way and was told no as no FF seats appearing Mel/Lhr and no ability to request. Agent...

As OW Emerald, I was able to select exit row seating in Y for no charge

I think Qantas and Perth airport are still in dispute over terminal redevelopment and moves...

I think not having lounge access is a big fail - surely the $40 or $50 that VA would have to pay per pax to a partner lounge is not a show stopper and is really a standard offering for international business class...

I believe yes - it is generally more flexible than Qantas equivalent

no live sport or CNN/BBC on the 777 or A380

cannot remember exactly, but the pick was the Laurent Perrier Rose Champagne 2006, most of the other wines were $20 - $60 retail

my QF/OW status was not printed on the BP, even though QF number was the in booking and got points in my QF account upon landing. This meant upon entry to QF First lounge had to dig out physical FF card... Still got OW recognition from CSM onboard which is matched by EK (more than you get on QF)...

yes, there are more flights generally for plat and gold members

I certainly had issues mid-trip when my status went from silver to gold. I tried to access EK lounge in Dubai and was denied as the system showed I was silver, even though I had gold card on my app - they did let me in eventually.

Given VA is now pretty much exclusive 737 airline, yes the availability of J class awards has dropped given that the number of J physical seats across the network (without the wide bodies) has dropped. I was able to book 2 J class rewards seats Mel/Queenstown/Mel on preferred dates in July and...
