I always really liked the 2013 one they had for a bit. Which showed all the different qantas staff doing different jobs associatedw with the operation. Made me pay attention much more than the destination themed ones. Crucially, it was actually in an airplane.

I saw the same thing. I think because they’re adjusting in their booking systems. I hope! I much preferred the current timings vs leaving mid morning - both for jet lag and onwards connections.

All very helpful, thanks everyone I should have added my ‘renewal date’ is end May, but I’ll reach 3600 SC in April. Hence the question about how/whether to try and get my partner to ‘drop’ to Gold at the end of their membership year (end Apr), before reappointing them in June.

My situation (I know I was the original OP): -will requalify P1 in Apr -Linked partner’s renewal date is end Apr -linked partner not due to travel till end June I’m wondering whether I call up the qf service centre, de-list my partner as my platinum before I requalify, he then falls down to gold...

Nah. That’s what I was hoping to try work out.

Yeah I wondered that too re soft block. QF WP for ref.

Bit of a niche question. On a QF seat map on EF for any given flight in Economy, some seats appear as 'blocked', others as 'occupied'. How accurate is this? Does anyone know? Reason for asking is that I know on longer routes (DFW, LAX, etc) QF has to restrict capacity in economy to make the...

Have QF said anything publicly about implementing Economy Plus on the 787s or 380s (current or future)? any idea on timeline if so?

What are the other platinum one additional benefits that are spoken of here? I can’t think of any off the top of my head that require a certain number of SC?

Separately, since the reconstruction of T5 anyone had experiences trying to connect AS to TBIT or vice versa? Only possible to do land side now? What about bag through check QF to AS via that downstairs connecting flights thingy in arrivals

Like this concept. I never understood why QF didn't do something similar with BNE when they opened up the 3rd floor or PER T4 when they got rid of the yoga floor concept. Or LHR / HKG too (if they were trying to give it a soft refurb ahead of Project Sunrise flights and have retracted on the QF...

You can fly to Nuuk now with both Air Greenland and United in the summer. Air Greenland operates a pretty good West Greenland network up and down the coast, obviously w a bit of flexibility built in using Dash 8-1s and helicopters. I think you could feasibly do it all by yourself but unsure how...

Anything like last year re special xmas menu?

Gosh the difference would be even more stark now too - there’s at most only 2-3x weekly 380s out of Melbourne vs at least 2 or 3 daily pre covid (sin / dxb-lhr, lax). Syd now has the overwhelming bulk of the 380 departures (still only 4 daily tho)

Did anyone see the bit in the Platinum News email about a new bespoke a la carte NP dining experience exclusively for platinum and above in the new akl lounge? Anyone got any news or further info on that?

Pre covid the QF117 service ex Sydney at 2210 arrived in HKG about 430-5 but didn’t return until 1930

I wondered particularly what happens to airlines in the US which can be so hit or miss. I flew on an AA flight out of MIA and the agent at the admirals club went so far above and beyond. In the US - particualrly at AA where it hasn't seemed like they've valued customer service for a while (and I...

Wondered if anyone with more info or who works in the industry can advise what actually happens when you provide positive feedback on feedback forms about airline staff (airport or flight attendants or otherwise?) I usually try and write a feedback form or a message on twitter at least to...

What has people's experience been generally travelling on LA into/out of Australia and intra South America with QF status? I know the technical rules / benefits per the website but wondering for example how much luck people have had getting into the QF F lounge and flying LA. Also in LA lounges...

I’ve done this exact routing many times (unfortunately - once you get to LAX on the return you really start to be over flying). The only benefit as people have pointed out above - really - is that you don’t have to mind your bags in lax before the qf check in opens later in the afternoon. That...
