Recently titled platinum one, with a lower-class friend who is _only_ platinum status (:cool:). Decided we wanted to do east coast of America later this year - rang the "special service squad (team)" and received exceptional service. Managed to score business class tickets the entire way over...

I sincerely hope they don't get rid of First. Travelling First on the A380 is incredible - the space, the food, the attention, the luxury.... you get what you pay for and business doesn't really compare.

Is this worth a precious one hour out of two before a long flight? Anyone with any experiences? Cheers.

Good advice dude, thx. Think I'll just turn up early.

I registered, booked and paid for a business international flight to chicago today. How many SC's is that? :D

I want to get an earlier flight (early morning as opposed to late morning) from ADL to SYD next week - and wondering what the best way to do this is without screwing up all my seat selections (I fly out from SYD internationally after this leg). 1) Call FF hotline (I am platinum) 2) Change...

Nup, up-to Pacific Northwest in biz. T8 in fact. Lucky to get anything huh.

Hey, I land in LAX Monday and have a three hour wait before hopping on a United Airlines flight. Is there a lounge in the domestic area I can use? I am platinum, so think I am highest "one world" access too - but I don't see a UA lounge anywhere at LAX. Presumably I can hop into something...

So I have an international flight booked through Qantas on Jetstar but am unable to make a seat selection. It allows me to nominate window/aisle seat selection, but come closure of the seat selection the Qantas Frequent Flyer site simply states that seat requests are unavailable for this...

Thanks anat0l - excellent answer :D Assume MCT means "Mean Connect Time". Hate that freaking bus in SYD - it's about time they had a train installed like most major airports in the world.

So my flight into Sydney on Monday gets in at 11:50am (domestic). I then have a flight to LAX (QF11) departing at 1:05pm (presumably starts boarding at 12:20pm). I forget how long the transfer takes from domestic to international - can anyone kindly let me know how long the walk + bus...

No luck. At domestic check-in I tried and the lass said, "No - domestic yes, but international no". OK - and then at first class lounge in Sydney - "No, unfortunately too late". Right. Well at least I had a good time in the first lounge in Sydney :mrgreen:

Yes, I complained about first class last time and said it wasn't worth it. Well, I'd like to give it another shot but I may be past the cutoff. I fly to LAX from SYD tomorrow on business, and being a platinum holder, I was wondering how lenient check-in would be if I request an upgrade to...

Never got back to the forum on this. Have to say that I think First is overrated - Business really gives you the best bang for your buck. The grog is definitely superior, the bed is fantastic, but aside from that - well, it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I didn't think the...

So I'm flying business from Sydney to LA on 9th May on my favourite A380 - but looking at the online seat selection on the Qantas website there's like 4 seats to select from? Everything else is greyed out. I'm now a Platinum frequent flyer so what gives? Do Platinum members get an advantage...

Thanks guys, think I'll go for it :)

It's gonna cost me 45,000 points - is this a waste of time or is the experience really worth it? I will be going on the A380. Curious to know what people think. I am gold at the moment, but will be platinum when I decide to upgrade or not. Maybe the extra points and SC are worth considering?

Ah damn, I misread: Additional Status credits required to obtain next Loyalty bonus: 20 For some silly reason I thought it meant I gained an extra 20 SC :mad: That means I will be 10 SC short prior to my long leg to LA. AFAIK I lose all ways - no 1st class lounge access, and no platinum...

Hi all, I am 70 status points short of Platinum status. I am flying to LA next week on business. When I arrive in Sydney, I should have accrued enough status points from Adelaide to just tip me into Platinum status (I'm due for a 20 status point loyalty bonus + 60 from Adelaide = 80 new...
