I find MEL far worse for priority baggage than PER on QF. For priority boarding observance- MEL best, CBR obviously non-existent despite the fact they had plenty of time to plan for it, only really a problem at PER for 73H and 763 flights. Unless you're in the first couple of rows of Y on a...

Hi-viz: unacceptably high risk of PA announcement a la "could all ground staff please stop drinking and eating canapes".

The 2000 vintage is standard on the route in F- Moet for everyone else, both J and Y.

The DJ running hot and cold saga continues. Short east coast sector on the weekend- one PE pax (on a hot day) complains that the a/c is too strong, asks for the temperature to be turned down. Cabin crew acquiesce. A number of Plats complain that it's now too hot, they say that the one person in...

Not counting non-commercials, closest I've come is 4 pax on a LH 744, KUL-BKK.

I'm loathe to press the call button on a transpac, in any class....so sending an email to the CEO ain't my thing. Threshold issue is more that it's a serious problem if the CEO (read immediate staff) has to take a personal interest to sort stuff like that out.

By way of context- this was meant as a hybrid assessment of DJ's nominally increased focus on customer service for HVCs, as well as their single aisle J offering. I'm an earned Gold and comped Plat- I'm fickle, but not so fickle as to damn an airline on the basis of two (comparatively short)...

GO WEST! Midweek So, it's looking like a full bus in Y. OLCI not working for the booking, Velocity online telling me booking didn't exist, Plat customer service apologise. I get 3A locked in, with assurances of notes on the upcoming booking(s) referencing OLCI gremlins with my profile (unable...

Ditto. Better in the afternoon than at night.

Re: Platinum One announced If that's the case, are QF planning on revealing the commercial arrangements they have in place with SQ for licensing the PPS club? This "don't aim for uber elite status, just be uber elite" approach would amount to an astonishing amount of foregone revenue at the...

Re: Platinum One announced QF can't be faulted on their commitment to never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Shades of their RedQ strategy announcement here- charting a course for mediocrity as their immediate competitors improve their (in this case, loyalty) offerings. What a...

Accounts for too large a percentage of their pax seated up front on most flights I've taken with them for that mistake to be a reasonable one to make.

SQ 77W/A380/A345 in that order, QF A380, EK 77W (but only if you're in the forward cabin) and 77L, with the EK A380 rounding it out. Service more of a variable on EK than the others. Needless to say, QF rolling out the A380 product to other airframes makes them a more attractive option than...

J fine if you're upstairs, not spectacular, but pretty comfortable if you pick your seat right. J downstairs is four abreast in the middle- looks way too much like PE for a seat that'd cost as much as it does.

Knowing you as I do that's far more egregious than driving without your licence.

I've flown CapConnect and been offered both. Certainly won't be any hassles on the MEL leg. I've always flown with the bulkhead on the Embraers so haven't really noticed the legroom difference.

Neither CapConnect nor lack of PE availability should be a factor. PE is rarely full on these legs, even at morning or evening peaks. It's usually populated by one or two paying pax with the rest seat fillers from the next flexi fare down. Your flight ex-SYD doesn't operate every day and is...

The cabin upgrades option will appeal to the not insignificant number of WPs/Golds who usually fly in Y domestically- that's a fair chunk of corporate and govt pax. Assuming first-in, best-dressed on that front, and not the haphazard way DJ approach yield management wrt their formerly W/PE seats...

Caveated heavily with the fact that I haven't flown DJ since April- but just flew a short sector out of MEL and saw priority boarding signs for Business, Velocity Platinum, Premium Economy, Velocity Gold. Hadn't seen that second one before.

Re: Capital connect services Ex CBR Upside: boiled pies a distinct possibility.
