Status does generate loyalty. I‘m in a vulnerable group so am certain to need to change my dates on a current UK booking, which will push my return beyond status year date and drop me from gold for 2021. If that happens the motivation to stick with QF for my 2021 travel is diminished. Other...

Thank you all. For fast replies And for reducing my pre-flight stress levels. Most appreciated. Yes it's the one through QF booking LHR to Sydney so I'm reassured.

Hello AFFers, a quick question for my flight next Tuesday QF LHR to Sydney via Melbourne. Am a bit concerned that my turnaround is Melbourne is tight. Arrive 5.35 Mel depart 7.15 to Syd. When I booked I understood that this would be an ok transit time. Closer to flight am a bit concerned it's...

Ah. That makes some sense, thanks RB. Daily Mail report - let’s all stop reading now.

That’s great, thanks Kermatu. I’ll retain gold with the LHR longhaul so SYD-AKL will do. Have to add I’m also keen to see Queenstown so that might be a December treat to feed into next year’s status.

I'm looking today/tomorrow at booking Sydney-Auckland in March to ensure my 4 status legs (November 30 status yr date so adding to one international last December and a return LHR booked on Friday for the DSC) - and because it's time I took a look at New Zealand. I can book for any time in March...

Busy thread! The offer came just in time for me as I was about to book QF1-2 Premium Economy for May so just now done. Had to make fast decisions as the reasonable Saver fares were dropping out if I blinked. Thanks for all the advice, I've only recently properly understood how to use Status and...

Simply what already happens for international. Once upon a time international meet and greet was also right up to the gates: sad when that changed but we got over it. One big difference - and downside - of course will be flyers with a farewell crowd likely delaying through security. Messy. As...

This is great info, thanks to all. I'm in QFF of course, also Velocity, Virgin Atlantic, and Cathay Asia Miles. And this thread confirms traveler friends' advice to join AA Advantage. As an aside, with access to a a UK address I could join BA Exec but having recently endured the mediocrity and...

Well, I've flown QF PE for years Sydney to LHR, most recently this last December/Jan. Have always appreciated the consistently excellent cabin service. However re these new seats and configuration, I'm certainly shorter than that model and this looks pretty squashy to me, especially if that seat...

I think I have this sorted: the bed is good but not for the $$$. Talking Qantas International (to Europe a couple of times a year) I alway book (pay for) PE, I reinstated Qantas Club late last year which ensures lounge access, priority checking etc, baggage allowance, and I maintain Silver...

Thanx everyone for responding, including for the tips on end of month. Didn't know that and will get onto this today. Too late for the rejoining benefit unfortunately Mattg, it lapsed in 2012. Pity! But it will be good to have access again - when the lounge is needed it really is, and the Sydney...

A very basic question (sorry but I couldn't see an existing thread to synch this with): I'm flying QF1 mid November, PE, Silver. So am plannng on rejoining QC through AFF to be effected for this trip, but seem to remember in the past Qantas has been slow off the mark with putting a membership...

Thanks Mattg, great photos. Camera which phone please? Maybe airlines could compromise on this - shades minimum half down and decent eyeshades Throughout the cabin. Oh, who am I kidding?

My first trip to Turkey was in 2008, SQ and BA with days in London first. We flew over Lebanon and direct above Istanbul - the Bosphorus, Golden Horn all could be identified. Unforgettable. I like a window and sleep where needed but seriously, what's the point of 33000 ft up there without an...

That sounds cheery! I'm flying soon to the UK from Sydney with Cathay PE on the 333 and 77W plane combo. The return trip was 3600 - now down to around 3000 I see but way less pricey than Qantas. Have booked aisle seats for a change to save being trapped at the window by a bulky sleeping stranger...

Qantas Premium heaps of room, width and legroom tho tall ppl shld still grab aisle seat. So enjoy yr flight. My gripe was BA - their Premium Economy is rubbish.

Just to add to this: Qantas PE is excellent - seats, treatment, respect. Big shock then when I travelled Qantas Premium ticket last December Sydney - Tokyo - London but code-share BA frm Tokyo. Sure BA PE seats are a little bigger than BA economy but in all other aspects you're travelling...

Looks like all is sorted and I hope u were happy with your passport photo PW: after all we live with these for 10 yrs, it's ok to want a good one :-) I'm also renewing early for entry to the UK later this year: my passport expires 5 months after arrival and I'm not interested in being refused...

Yes. Not acceptable. What will Qantas do about it? Wants we pay PE dollars or points for a flight that's 1/3 economy. We don't think so!.
