    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Email. It took close to the full 14 days but I am now gold. So far very unimpressed with the whole AC experience ... multiple delays and cancellations. And even in 5+ hour flights in economy, all food is paid for ... and fairly eye-watering prices.

    I'm currently rocking my QF pajamas in Toronto - having worn them on my 14 hour SYD-YVR AC flight in economy! Yes I'm 'that' passenger on the plane - but if you're not gonna provide them, then well I'm going BYO. I would prefer them to have a small option however ... they are just swimmingly...
