    Golf clubs on Qantas flight without travel bag

    AA were fine with me as a WP checking in the golf clubs plus an extra bag as part of the WP allowance. The biggest pain in the USA is that the TSA screen the big bags separately and you have to drag the clubs from one counter to another. I would actually suggest that in the US a travel bag is a...

    Please help me understand the Qantas booking page - upgraded or not?

    Based on the fact you've got J seats and it's confirmed, I'd say your J upgrade has indeed been successful.

    QF 767 underseat storage

    I've stored a reasonable size bag under both aisle and window without issues, but you wouldn't have an enormous amount of foot room as well!

    wow I got comped WP

    I am in exactly the same boat as the OP. 365 SC earned after three years of solid platinum, one of PG, no forward bookings. FF Summary now reads that status assessment will reoccur in Sept 2013. Whilst overjoyed that I have another year, it will mean that I need to organise another farewell WP...

    Congratulations - your name will be on the side of a Qantas plane

    Got told I wasn't selected. Given my SC balance this year, I wouldn't select me either :)

    Beware of the point loss monster!

    When you say the night before, was that within 24 hours, or outside 24 hours? If it was inside the 24 hour period, then you aren't entitled to a points refund per the T&C:

    Passengers requesting to change seats with other passengers

    And the ones that didn't now have a fetching silver and orange paint job!

    Passengers requesting to change seats with other passengers

    A couple of years ago was on QF94 in PE when the split cabin was available with half Skybed and half normal seating. Got onto the plane after truly nightmarish connections, looking forward to a snooze. The older lady sitting next to me kept telling me how her friend was on the other side of the...

    Well, given that "O" is in that list you copied, yes :)

    First glimpses of the new QF HKG F Lounge

    What's interesting is that it clearly has no "restaurant" section.. wonder if that will come through or if there is a new service concept?

    Worth asking to be comp'ed to WP1

    Many moons ago, I asked if I could be PS before my qualifying flight (10 SC short). The answer was a firm, polite and very clear "no".

    Great Platinum Service

    Sorry to hear about the circumstances but great to hear they were helpful. I think that the platinum desk and their abilities, whilst not all-powerful, certainly can be of great assistance in a time of need.

    Attn: New QFi CEO.

    Their enforcement of priority boarding is pretty rigorous though.. this guy with a long white beard stands in the pleb lane and says "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!"

    QF Platinum Desk

    Doubtful unless they also moved to Canberra from Sydney. It sounds like many of the familiar faces are still there, but as with anything your mileage can vary. If the phone isn't answered "Qantas Premium xx speaking" then I tend to ask if the Premium desk is available, and if not then call back...

    WP asking Etiquette when flying International Y

    I have found success with being circumspect - "is there anything I can get you?" answered by "maybe a glass of white wine?" - ended up with a plastic soft drink cup full to the brim of excellent F chardonnay (QF94). Had similar experiences on QF29 and 30 along with QF9 with headsets, blankets...

    Koru Club Melbourne

    The Koru Club angel certainly has some discretion, last year a colleague and I were travelling from AKL to PER when I had a change of plan and had to return to MEL which meant me on QF her on NZ. Went to the KC, explained the story and showed my DJ platinum card - my colleague was welcomed as my...

    QF Platinum Desk

    Nope - Hercules is definitely a bloke, as is someone else I've had a few times (James maybe?) who is extremely helpful. That being said as I'm not travelling as much, I haven't had the chance to speak to Hercules recently - is he still around?

    Will I get a refund if we don't actually take the flight after checking-in?

    Absolutely, if you have checked luggage it is another matter entirely, but the fare rules definitely permit you to cancel at any point, including after the time of departure. I would suggest not checking bags and not OLCI if there is any doubt, but your rights are still there :)

    Will I get a refund if we don't actually take the flight after checking-in?

    Fully Flexible fares are refundable at any time - compare the two fare rules on the website (Flexi Saver vs Fully Flex) - Flexi Saver cannot be refunded after the time of departure, Fully Flex can be refunded afterwards and thus permits refundable no-shows.
