Welcome to AFF. :)

Apparently the data has been leaked onto the dark web https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/oct/11/hackers-leak-qantas-data-containing-5-million-customer-records-after-ransom-deadline-passes?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Based on people’s reports it’s more likely it’s peak season and they restrict lounge pass use then, rather than your flying history or status.

Agree, wonder if it's because (I guess) they don't have fryers there?

I remember these admittedly very dated comments: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qn-for-737-regarding-staff-feedback.24390/post-341873 https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-excel-employee-recognition-program%E2%80%8F.47968/

That looks like next level working the system!

I'm getting the sense at at least when it comes to French, they don't really appreciate our making a good-faith attempt or some token words? Which goes against my instinct of trying, as opposed to demanding and expecting every Earthling to speak English?

Surely you recall this https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-05/nt-tourism-department-welcomes-asb-ruling-against-cu-in-the-nt/8163114

I've just gone in and now I can see a lot more options!! It's like calling in a tradie and not being able to replicate the problem when they're there... I swear everything else was the same... Thank you :) EDIT: Actually I lie, there was one change. Just now I selected one-way, and was able...

Trying to use my Ultimate QF credit between MEL/SYD and I only get one flight and time option, each way. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried clearing the appropriate filters and logging out and in again. Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I skimmed all pages of this thread and...

IMHO I wouldn't want to encourage some I've seen to lug even more carry-on baggage as it becomes unwieldy and slows others down, plus as mentioned it'd eat into airlines' business model. If I'd been able to get a rebate for all the unused baggage allowance I've had over the years, I'd be able...

I can usually easily step around people standing on the ‘wrong’ side if necessary so IMHO not such an irritant for me. Many other selfish or ignorant behaviours that bug me, like smoking and leaving a stinky trail behind.

So would you be willing to pay the premium QF is demanding to avoid MH next time, or fly someone else? The meal timing and having to follow up with earplugs is annoying but IMHO I’d make sure I had my own equipment like noise-cancelling earphones for an overnight flight.

I don't have experience and the T&Cs around this are very sparse, but presumably this might also void any SCs towards lifetime status?

I have one datapoint of a family in the CL/P1 area (so presumably offered this special menu) while on MH metal

Welcome to AFF. It's the MEL F lounge that's closed so that shouldn't be the reason you cant link your 12 October flight. I was going to say school holiday blackout period but holidays would have finished by then. While we're all friends here, sometimes unfriendlies might also pass through, so...

When I did DPS status run turnarounds last year, when arriving I headed straight down the hall for transfers, rather than turn right for the immigration queues. I don't remember airline-specific transfer desks, but there was what seemed to be a 'general' desk checking my boarding pass - and I...

I'd think FAs usually have the opposite problem - DYKWIAs declaring "I'm lifetime triple-studded diamond top tier, I spend eleventy zillion on your airline....."

That appears dodgy, possibly illegal. If so, I also encourage reporting - I'd do the same if I came across it myself. Their response sounds like a copout and trying to wash their hands of it. It's their website, they're taking your money and they're making the profit.

Most recent international experience: At the MEL FLounge (flying Y), was offered a spa slot and gladly took it up. Outbound after the lunch service, the flight attendants missed clearing our row (2nd row of Y) and by the time I realised they weren't coming back they were too far away without...
