I'm on EK metal with an EK flight number, so no FF points with QF sorry to say. If I paid the extra $25K and booked with QF as QF code share on EK metal, I would be eligible I believe. But as per my original point the extra cost does not out weigh the extra points. The up side is I do get...

A stupidity tax is probably the best description at this stage, regardless of someone's affordability. I am eager to see how the pricing differs after the 1st of April when the merger is formally approved (assuming it's approved). If pricing does come into line, it will be interesting to see if...

I've just read this thread. I've had a similar experience with price differentiation between booking EK website v's QF website. In August this year I shall be going to Europe with my partner in F as follows ADL/DXB/LHR....BHX/DXB/ADL, with a two night stop over in Dubai on the way there...

Has anyone seen Clement yet on another flight...??? I do like the Clement Personality Scale that vaibhavdattani has floated. I must say that as someone who had devoted all flying to QF (or QFcodeshare flights) I've noticed the level of in flight customer service to be declining. My general...

Well I did my Xmas day experiment (forgot to post sooner). Flew Y for the first time in a long time on my ADL-SYD flight on the 25th Dec, just to see if I would get a xmas day op-up. Unfortunately not :(. Back to flying in J for me. Maybe I'll get another op-up to F one day....

My last beep at the gate was on an international flight to LHR from SYD on BA. Upgraded from J to F. Haven't had one since, but mind you I am always flying in J on flights where J is the highest fare/class. I do have a few flights over the xmas period, all in J, but have booked one leg I am...

Nice choice. I flew BA to SYD-SIN-LHR on my last trip in F. The product is quite dated, but the service is fantastic. I have yet to try the new F on BA, as I don't believe it has been rolled out on their Long Haul 747 fleet as yet, but I don't need brand spanking all shiney and new. Its the...

P.S - compare apples with apples - for the same price as your 767-J ticket to HNL, I can fly from Sydney to London in a 1st Class suite on Etihad, stopping in 1st class lounge in Abu Dhabi, whilst being chauffered in a limo to and from the airport as part of the airfare ticket cost........

I agree with OzBeachbabe - alot of money for 10hours in a seat, that can buy absolute luxury on the ground.....having said that, being the J/F flyer that I am, and always looking to save a $K or two where possible, something I might have tried looking into (if your willing to do all the baggage...

I stayed in Paris over the New Year period earlier this year at a very well centrally located hotel called "hotel du louvre". Literally opposite to arch way entrance to the Louvre muesum. Very friendly "all english speaking" staff, and very nice breakfast buffet and rooms. Worth a look. Rooms...

2nd that to everyone else. Once you've had jay, you cant stay away....

QF31 landed on time at 6:40am. The porter brought my bags to my suite at approx 2:30pm that afternoon. I was fortunate to have this service offered to me due to the class I was flying. I am unsure if the hundreds of other passengers flying Y where given the same option, or if they just had to...

Hmmm, my description wasn't very comlimentary was it, but it was my first impression. Don't get me wrong though, I found the MKII Sky bed extremely comfortable, more so that than my F seat on BA, even after the turn-down service...

Yeh - I've read several threads on the subject, but brought it up here as this thread is about what I would like to see/have that I am not getting, and in this case it is more privacy and seclusion as a paying J pax...A gentle draw of the curtain, turn around and keep smiling would be my icing...

I thoroughly agree with NYCguy on this point. The majority of my yearly travel is domestic 737 flying. I am a SFSC for the most part who chooses to fly J rather than Y. In almost all of these flights, the curtain is never closed, and Y passengers tend to trudge through to the forward WC. Very...

I bet he was impressed! Was there any additional charge levied for the waiting time? Yes - I was charged an additional hour plus parking. The surcharges applicable were agreed upon when booking the reservation, and to be honest, I was expecting it to be a little higher. To give credit where...

O.K. Back from my trip to London and Paris. Was very cold but loved it.... I didn't get much feed back regarding peoples opinions of the Arrivals Lounge at the new LHR T3. Probably not too many have used it yet perhaps. So here is my few cents worth on the topic for anyone who may be...

It does seem to bold, highlight and underscore the term "cattle class"

Sorry for the confusion guys, but I know I am able to use the lounge as stated in my opening sentence. I am interested to hear if anyone has actually used it yet since the new T3 has been finished, and what you thought of it...??:mrgreen: Thanks NM for the thread. I did sight it though whilst...

Hello All I shall be travelling to LHR in a few wks and as I will be in J on QF, I can use the arrivals lounge located on L2. Was wondering if any one has used the new AA arrivals lounge in the new refurbished T3 since qantas moved over a few weeks ago. Would love to hear anyone's...
