    Introducing Platinum One

    Well on the bright side I now have my status match with VA after earning 2650 SC with QF last year. I will now be splitting the flights between VA and QF and hopefully still maintain WP on both, which isn't a bad outcome for me. Once again the problem for Qantas is the large number of WPs in...

    Why I love Qantas

    After tonight's flight 1064 from kal to per coughpy 737-400 with no differentiation between J and cattle- thank god I couldn't get j tickets although I tried - over an hour late - service - 0/10, boarding completely screwed up - 0/10, inflight meal served at 2100 was absolute rubbish cold...

    Priority boarding on QF domestic - what is the story?

    In WA a big problem affecting priority boarding is due to the high number of fifo workers (and others associated with the mining industry) flying so frequently that if they called for WPs to board first maybe two-thirds of the passengers will be lining up for priority boarding. The customer...

    New Next Gen Card and Bag Tags have arrived!

    I meant to write earlier, I received my bag on the same Per-Zne flight - fantasmogirical - ...phew...it was the third last one off but at east I got it! I would say a great number of the passengers on the Newman flight would be WP...the fellow next to me (WP) in 1A was upgraded (spontaneously...

    New Next Gen Card and Bag Tags have arrived!

    The last two flights on which I used the Q-tag my bag did not arrive on the same flight I was on so I removed it and have been checking in via the kiosk (I had been using the Q-tag since when I was sent it last year with no problems). I'm travelling to Newman today and I've put the Q-tag back...

    What laptop do you travel with?

    I use a MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 model 2.3Gb i7 - like taking my desktop MacPro with me. A bit a of a hassle putting the thing in the trays and getting them out again (tray is the same size as the puter) but the 17 inch screen is great for watching dvds etc. Also has 8Gb ram and a 256 Gb ssd...

    New Next Gen Card and Bag Tags have arrived!

    That's interesting (and terribly annoying!)... sounds like the Kal Qantas assistant might possibly be right. The other thing she said to me was to write my details on the Q-tag itself ie name and address - as sometimes the Q-tags weren't recording all the information.

    New Next Gen Card and Bag Tags have arrived!

    I have a Q-tag on my bag and the last two flights I've flown Perth-Kalgoorlie my bag has not arrived on the flight. First time ten other passengers' bags didn't arrive and the latest only my bag didn't arrive (person travelling with me without Q-tag had no problem even though bags were loaded at...

    Is inconsistency killing Qantas?

    Inconsistent: Last Friday I tried to change an 1810 Port Hedland to Perth flight, which I had upgraded to business online, to the 1620 flight. I rang the platinum number but person said I could not change unless I paid a fee and I would lose 2500 points for the change as I couldn't transfer the...
