It amazes me that loyal Qantas flyers will happily pay the Qantas "Premium" tax for an inferior experience. If Qantas' prices were competitive, I can understand the loyalty and attraction with the broader ecosystem of domestic operations, status benefits and Oneworld etc. But with the Low Cost...

No email upon submission, just a summary screen to confirm my application and something like that they'll get back to me in 7-10 working days. How many days since you applied? Wouldn't hurt to try again while still in the application window. Perhaps make mention of the prior submission in the...

Comedy or factual?

Confessions season. I made a Rookie mistake - I trusted an Airline to do the right thing by their members and give advance notice of any planned points devaluation. I‘m sure I’m not alone here and the pain will be felt among other AFF’ers (Not cool: United keeps raising partner award costs...

Well, at least you can now tick off your annual prostate exam 👆 TMI - I had a choice of lots of other hand/finger emoticons but after much consternation I settled with the classic index finger for the personal touch.

No need to wait a few days. You can cancel it immediately without affecting your points reset.

0725 departure!? I know it’s 5pm somewhere in the world, but you could’ve done better than that Matt! Surely with all your “extensive” backend QF connections, can’t you just get ‘em to make it a 1725 departure? 😉

Appreciate the link, but it’s just a “waitlist Status match”, if there is such a thing. This is Marketing 101 for “Give us all your details so that we can add them to our ever growing database of customer data which we can then sell and spam, even if said waitlist never happens”. Think I’ll...

Last I stayed at CP Changi (maybe 6 months ago) they were still working on the revamped club lounge. They did however grant me free drinks and food at their bar as an interim workaround. The old club lounge adjacent to the pool wasn’t too bad, but how is the new lounge looking these days?

O/N MEL and 0700 departure GA MEL DPS 😳

Ham and cheese sangas without ham or cheese (or margarine!).

Haha, maybe. Requires a small amount of photoshopping of UA virtual trial card though. We‘d have to check with @serfty for possible copyright or trademark infringements though. Also, this hack takes it a few steps further than just changing addresses in profiles or billing details.

My new throwaway UA (trial Premier Plat) and BA (6 Month Gold) accounts both have me domiciled somewhere in Los Angeles. If BA want to discriminate based on my location, I’ll play their game with my own rules.

An update from BA just three days after status match request. Looks like I beat you to it @fly2earth Congratulations, you’re now a Gold Member of the Executive Club. Now you’re really flying. You can enjoy the excellent benefits that come with your membership, including entry to our luxurious...

You missed the point. This is not about Qantas' shattered reputation or integrity and whether you support them or not, its about the political/commercial interest of a very small number of people (predominantly one person) on this forum that embodies all of the traits in my Open Letter thread.

I wonder if any of the AFF members who were highly critical of my opinion in the Open Letter thread have changed their opinion or are still blissfully unaware with heads in the sand...

I’m instantly feeling more compelled to fly with avianca now.

But Chairman Dan gave us millions in dining out rebates During Covid. So we’re even, right?

Agreed. There are potentially huge legal and commercial implications from this data security breach which I’m sure will be rightfully scrutinised and addressed in public. But I doubt it will hit Minister King’s desk lest it jeopardise her Chairman’s Lounge access. You’re not suggesting that our...

We've seen 110 and 115% in the past. Without any pressing needs for AC points currently, I'm holding out.
