    EK upgrade "Love" on QF / EK coded flights - success rate?

    I've only flown Emirates twice - 4 legs in total - all in the past 3 months and all on a QF ticket. Out of these 4 legs, I've had 3 upgrades from business to first suites!!! BKK--> SYD, SYD-->DXB, DXB--> MAN. I've been a Qantas platinum for almost 10 years, and NEVER had an upgrade. From now...

    Priority Checked Baggage - What a joke !

    I fly quite a bit internationally, and the problem is with Australian baggage handlers (the same thing happens with CX, SQ, EK, EY when coming back into Aus)- watch what happens when you fly to other international locations, priority is treated as priority. This is the reason I generally try...

    Why does it need to be so difficult VIRGIN??

    So let me get this straight - Virgin printed my boarding pass from their own computer, but need to send this information to Etihad, who then send it back to Virgin - all to confirm that I actually was on their plane?

    Why does it need to be so difficult VIRGIN??

    The two things that grate me the most are the fact that these flights were actually on Virgin metal (and I've heard the spiel that it has to go from this computer to that computer, then another computer, then into a black hole, then back to us, then divide by the number you first thought...

    Why does it need to be so difficult VIRGIN??

    As a recent Platinum Velocity member (along with being Qantas Platinum for almost 10 years), and being a couple of hundred status credits off companion Platinum - I find it almost incomprehensible how the service for Platinum Velocity is soooo bad. I recently had a business class trip to the UK...

    Status Match rejected - any suggestions

    Just FYI - I joined a fairly large multi-national earlier this year, and we use Amex Travel for our corporate travel. I've been a Qantas Platinum for years, and asked Amex if they could get me Platinum status match with Virgin - bang! Done! Now I have Platinum for both. It seems that...

    Travelling with a baby in Business Class

    Mmmmm, I can feel your stress. We are just back from Europe with our 4 month old. We went return Business Class CGK(SQ)/SIN(QF)/LHR(EI)/ORK, and we were very anxious prior, and had exactly the same questions/issues you are asking about. Just take the time to notice the dirty looks when you...

    Stolen Luggage - Worst airports?

    Timely thread! Just arrived in Madrid two days ago from Jakarta flying with BA, connecting through Heathrow. One of our checked bags didn't show up (apparently one bag missed the connection in Heathrow, and one made it), so we reported it and were told it would be delivered to the hotel that...

    Can you use QFF points to Upgrade on CX?

    Currently I've got QFF Platinum, and have a CX economy flight HK to Vancouver soon. Can I use QFF points to upgrade to business? Also would love someone to point me in the direction of where to find acronym meanings used here!

    Platinum "anytime" lounge Access ceases from 1 February 2011

    Firstly - It's great to see that someone from Qantas is actually listening and responding to some on the complaints raised here (its more than I can say for responses to the feedback forms on the Qantas website!). I'm based in Jakarta, and posted a question on here a week or so ago, about...

    Should I change from QFF Program to Krisflyer??

    No problem with using Aussie credit card as most large purchases (like business class flights) are in USD, so I get stung with currency charges regardless. How difficult is it to get status on Krisflyer? Similar to QFF?

    Should I change from QFF Program to Krisflyer??

    Hi, Have only just joined this forum, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I currently have Platinum FF with Qantas, and have done for the past 3 or 4 years - so have qualified for lifetime silver status. I've already re-qualified for another year of QP, but am starting to get more and...
