    QF A388's out of action - who is inconvenienced? [Merged Thread]

    I wonder if Qantas maintenace has a top-down, or bottom-up maintenance strategy. There is no suggestion of an impact on the grounding of the a380.

    Hi all, After contacting QF about this, I was told for 5000 points I can "re-instate" the return flights. Must be same sectors, ie no changes. Think I'm pretty lucky there! Cheers

And what would the likely outcome be if I did just miss the...

    OK, so just made Silver. I get an invitation to QP right? Sweet, I'm an hour early at the airport like always, and I'm thinking with my boarding pass showing my new status, I might be able to take the offer up... Nup, according to staff, only the pass mailed out is accepted. There was a...

    Thank you, tuapekastar. I find this a very friendly and honest board. Regarding hints: OLCI has been my friend and I try to be as high a Seq Nbr as I can. I'm always checking for that seat. Weird but even as NB I have been lucky. Brings into question where does status protect a seat next to you...

    Hello AFF, Thanks for your very helpful tips and hints. My first post here. After my next trip, I'm 20 SC short of QFF silver. I am doing all my flying in economy. Joined QFF in Nov 08, and with a few back dated trips MEL-AKL and my continued domestics, I'm looking OK for silver by July. I know...
