    Family access to British Airways Lounges Heathrow

    I don't believe there is a CX lounge in T5. Its exclusively a BA terminal. I was flying to Belfast and previously these flights left from T1. There was a decent BA lounge there and we never had any issues getting in as a family. Now T1 is closed for refurb and all BA UK and Ireland flights...

    Family access to British Airways Lounges Heathrow

    This may have been highlighted already but I was very surprised to be turned away from the BA Galleries First lounge with my wife and young children yesterday. Apparently any child above 2 years old is counted as a 'guest' for the purposes of the additional guest clause. First time I have ever...

    For those who have been comped status

    Re: Anyone ever had their level retained even if not achieving required SCs ? In reply to the original question, I was maintained WP in April 2010 having only hit about 800SCs. This was a bad year in the business world in general and I think QF probably saw a big dip in flying from most of...

    For those who have been comped status

    Re: Anyone ever had their level retained even if not achieving required SCs ? Haha! I won't get too excited then either! I just started a new membership year. I just missed the 3,600 but cleared the 2,700 on QF. I am listed as P1 when I log in but will count the days until I am shown the...

    More Plat One ridiculousness

    Juat to be clear. The cabin crew member was carrying a printed list of passengers names as she went around taking meal orders. When she got to me she admitted that my name was not on there. It wasn't a case of forgetting my name.

    More Plat One ridiculousness

    Luggage one of the last off belt despite the yellow First tag. Lipstick on a pig? This flight has been a poor experience. Cabin crew were lovely as usual - I don't attach any blame to them.

    More Plat One ridiculousness

    Just boarded my flight from Singapore home, sitting in J. Cabin crew is going around asking everyone for their meal choices and addressing them by name as you'd expect. She gets to me. 'Sorry I don't have your name' I have been booked in this seat for weeks and checked in 4 hours...

    What do Qantas crew know about you?

    Here is an interesting experience I had this week related to this thread. Was on a short BNE-SYD flight in Y sitting in a D seat. Flight was full. During the flight the main cabin crew (not sure if they are CSMs on Domestic?) came to me and knelt down next to me. I expected it would be the...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    In the interest of transparency I have further updates..... I got a call from the head of the P1 SST who had been tipped off about this thread. In my haste and urgency on Saturday night I dialled the first number in my P1 welcome email which, it transpires, was the Platinum Sales Team and...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    And juat to close the loop on an earlier discussion, my double points/SCs were corrected today, so no lucky break there.

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    I have not received any event invitations...I am in Brisbane...and in any case I don't care about events...I"d much rather have access to a lounge that isn"t crowded. I've received sone awesome op-ups in the past as a WP. One op-up to First LAX-SYD. And another SYD-HK where I was the only...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    Fully agree. This is a bigger issue stemming from the fact that Qantas decided to introduce a new tier of membership which was ultra elite, but then struggled to define its value add to members. Even the marketing on Qantas.com sounds like a hodgepodge of whever they could scrape together...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    I have no idea what goes on.. Here's something interesting though....just checked my account and apparently I have been credited points and SCs for both the flight I missed and the flight I took 24 hours later. I am expecting this will get corrected but if not at least I got something out...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    They are a OW Partner, and they immediately issued me with a rebooking onto the QF flight 24 hours later..but were not willing to entertain my request to look at other QF and CX routes that evening

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    Travel agents to my knowledge don't have the capability to monitor travel and proactively reroute. That is the airlines job I think. As a previous post mentioned by IATA rules it was technically KAs responsibility to sort it as they were the delayed carrier. The theme of my whining here...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    I just checked the itinerary. It was booked through my corporate travel agent but QF was the ticket issuer. The KA leg was the only one of the four on the itinerary which wasn't QF.

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    In all honesty ComeFlyWithMe, I would have been happy if they had done a quick availability/waitlist check and then sent me onto KA to follow up....what shocked me the most was the immediate dismissal of my situation. Anyway, I am safely in the new HK lounge with boarding pass in hand. I...

    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    Yes, Nizar I hit 3,800 SCs which I never ever thought I would do in a single year. That amount of flying takes you away from your family so much! Last night, the SST had the opportunity to get me back to my family so I could spend Sunday with them instead of twiddling my thumbs in a coughpy...
