Done it 2 years running with 100% overseas travel. Was able to book exit rows when they were available but wasn't able to go Premium Economy until just recently. WP via economy should be considered cruel and unusual punishment, especially when they come past to personally thank you and offer...

Anyone know if there is any way to get another chance at DSC offer in the same year? I had one come up in May but I wasn't able to travel for work then.. now I'm nearing expiration and could _really_ do with a DSC offer right now.

Used First again on Sunday night before QF12. Just as woeful internet, ended up using the LAX free wifi rather than the Qantas internet. Was able to get an IP on Qantas but browsing was totally dysfunctional. No spare seats to be found, had to sit at the blank computer desk. Protip: don't wait...

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Any thoughts on how to grab an easy 360 SC in about 3 weeks? I'm leaving from Sydney and am currently Platinum. I can travel Premium Economy to pretty much anywhere worldwide for my company as long as the leg is >8hrs, or I can try for status...

Does anyone from QFF have any comment on if/when LAX lounges in the qantas international departure terminals are going to be upgraded? The food is absolutely woeful in both qclub and first lounges. The inernet is virtually unusable almost 100% of the time. See the computer row for a group of...

Interesting that one.. a380 what are the best economy seats? the two at the back with the free legroom or the one in the middle with the escape hatch. All 3 taken. In fact last week when I booked the entire plane was empty barring 1-2 scattered seats, but the exit rows and those 3 are...

So I'm off to the US again for the 10th time this year. Bees *#@ away from platinum and this flight should push me over the edge. I book my economy flight late in fully flexible and I'm surprised to see I haven't been seat allocated on the a380s. I call the amex rep and they tell me no sir...

Haven't had many problems in SYD INT, apart from it being incredibly slow to get the initial portal page up. LAX Qantas lounge (in the a380 terminal) a week ago was > 90% packet loss even though they had it password protected. I was tempted to use one of the cables from the wired pcs :p

I feel your pain.. Well only a portion of it, you are another 1/3 on top of me for SCs in Y class :p

Same question here. Normal plat is attainable (with pain) via economy but there is no real benefit apart from the multipliers even with the new plan. The points bonuses are nice in terms of tradein for vouchers etc but there are no real benefits to a traveller that has to be punished in...

Spot on mate. Dreaming if you are going to hit this if you aren't flying J or F already. Y+ is pushing it.

I've received a Frequent Flyer survey from Qantas twice - both times was immediately following an international flight which had been delayed leaving the USA causing a late arrival and many passengers with broken connecting flights. They've never said it was specifically due to that, but yep...

AVOD is a nice to have but not a showstopper, I can compensate with a book/computer/sleeping pills. Do Delta/United have AVOD in business even if its non AVOD in economy? I did a forced United Economy when the Qantas A380s were out of action and it was pretty bad without any AVOD entertainment...

Hi all, I fly very regular economy long haul flights from Sydney to LAX/SFO and around Asia. This year I re-hit gold within 6 months and am easily going to hit platinum in the next month or so with 4 months to go till expiry. As you can imagine this is fairly punishing in economy. I don't have...

So is there realistically more chance of an op-up as platinum or am I just dreaming? The F lounges look great and I could probably make good use of them but it is an awful lot of economy and more if there are no op-ups on the way.

Thanks mate. I can certainly do dom travel though its almost been entirely international so far. And yes, I can also book those without being on eDeal. If they are more profitable SCwise I will start looking into them ;) F lounge is a nice thought. Are there equivalents to F lounge in the...

I'm a Gold FF based in Syd and have to get around 700ish points to hit plat this year, with 8 months left to do it. I have a fairly open pass to travel wherever though it will only be paid in economy due to work policy. Do you think it is worth pushing through to hit plat? My most common trips...
