    2016 Vintec wine cellar offer

    Yes I saw that when we were at the Penfolds cellar door last week. Didn't really interest me but each to their own I guess!

    2016 Vintec wine cellar offer

    I've been stalking this thread all year! Was really hoping a 2017 offer would be out there. We're keen on the larger single zone model for clearing.... It seems it's unlikely at this stage to see any offers come through for Q4. Bit of a shame!

    Company required stopovers that aren't 'on the way'

    Some of those stopovers are amazing! And by amazing I mean insane. And by insane I mean healthy for your SC balance... I wonder if Q will run another double SC offer in May-June like last year... I know there was one on offer recently... I'm hoping for another...

    Company required stopovers that aren't 'on the way'

    Hi again! I have a business trip to LA coming up. At the time of booking flights, the cheapest flight (on an airline known *not* to regularly crash or carry live stock in the passenger area :p) was via Tokyo... however since Japan has become a 'no-go' zone for my company, I'm now flying...

    Things to do in Fiji

    We've been to Fiji a couple of times in the last few years and staying on Denarau and used it as a launching point for tours etc. Getting to Denarau: You will need cash to pay the taxi driver. Exchanging cash at the airport (Sydney or Nadi) is generally more expensive than in Sydney. I would...

    Status Change & Couriering Tags

    hvr - I really like your description of the determination of worthiness! I look forward to something similar as I approach the Flounge! I'm flying to Singapore, HK, LAX & India for work on separate work trips this year so I'm looking forward to becoming familiar with the Flounge (&...

    Status Change & Couriering Tags

    After 7 years of business flying (on those fabulous company preferred red e-deals) I qualified for the first time as a WP today! I really wish I knew (read: cared) about the benefits of being of WP and this forum back when I first started flying, because I finished 5 out of 7 years, with...

    Delays in crediting FF points after JQ Jetflex flights

    I have to agree - the system is shoddy, considering it took just two days for my BA flights to appear last year on my activity statement, and am still waiting for my JQ JetFlex tickets to appear from 24/25 January 2011. I just rang FF Customer Service, because with the JetFlex tickets + my...

    Going well above and beyond the call of duty, and vomit in my handbag

    I've been meaning to post this I got back from our Xmas escape. Going above & beyond: Mr Lan & I booked a very last minute trip to Bali for Xmas. Neither of us had been since we were little kids and we thought we would go back to see if was different as adults. (side note; lovely place &...

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    I blame the champagne I was drinking in the QP... I meant to write 0 from 240 to 360 (*eligible) flights. Not 2400 to 3600. :oops: So yes, statistically it doesn't make a difference... I'm still batting 0% *Not all flights I flew, would be eligible for a last minute OP-UP, IMO...

    Am I going to miss my flight? Uh oh...

    I just wanted to let everyone know how the trip went yesterday. The 8.20am SYD-CBR and 9.50am CBR-SYD was on the same plane with the same crew - it worked out really well and I even had time to have a look at the new CBR QP (I'm a bit blonde and forgot that my ticket enabled me to get into...

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    Hooley Dooley!!! - although it wasn't an OP-UP I flew 5 legs yesterday with the same two crew and on the last flight, they very kindly gave me a nice little note and a bottle of wine to take home with me "for flying the last 3 legs with them!". My first ever random act of kindness from Q/CSM...

    Changes to JQ On Departure Upgrade Prices

    Hi Markis10 Thanks (again!) - does Expert Flyer work for JQr? I looked on their info page for new members and it doesn't list them as a carrier for upgrade availability? I mostly fly QF, JQ, CX...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    re: Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk Hi there We're traveling SYD-HNL on JQ3 on 24 Feb 2011 and returning JQ4 HNL-SYD 3 Mar 2011. Is anyone able to tell whether on ODU is likely based on how busy Y and *C will be? Am I asking too early? Should I wait until...

    Changes to JQ On Departure Upgrade Prices

    Sorry if this is slightly OT - though it feels like a related post to me ;) I'm trying to search for the link to that site that tells you how busy your flight is going to be (and therefore whether an ODU is possible)... the link that was referenced earlier doesn't work for me. I can't...

    Starwood Vouchers to Give Away [all gone]

    Hi Leumas, I got all excited as we're staying at the Sheraton for a week in February. Then I realised that Hawaii isn't actually part of Asia ;) It's rather early for me on a Sunday morning and I think I need a coffee! Thanks for the fabulous offer - I'm just sad that I won't be able to...

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    JohnK - you make me laugh! I have, however been OP-DO on more than 6 occasions from bulkhead. I fear that beep like I fear a mid flight announcement from your captain speaking. They are neither the sounds of good news to me :P

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    This has been a rather enlightening thread. I've been flying since 2004, with 35-55 Dom flights a year (pretty rare Int legs), all on Q and mostly red e-deal on the way over and flexi on the way back. Never once have I been OP-UP'd. That's 0 from approx 2400-3600 flights. I do NOT rate well...
