Quick count on Wikipedia, it's likely not 100% accurate which is why I rounded it and said 'over'.

Not sure why you think it's a typo? Maybe I'm still not clear. I personally think the incoming passenger form would be more consistent if it were on a Government run website, like how other countries currently do it. I'm not saying it has to stay as a physical card. Unless you mean your...

The entry form is currently app only, it could change like previously mentioned but that's an assumption. The rest we can agree to disagree.

I just personally think it'd be more consistent as a Government run website. My personal opinion is that putting the UI on each airline and their app will create inconsistency for the Australian form. That's approximately the number of different Airlines that fly into Australia.

We're talking slightly different things here. Currently these QR codes lead to the current-state implementations which are country operated websites. Your post was talking about how for this new style of implementation, QR codes can lead not just to an "airline app, just a page on the airline...

Domestic in Australia I use a mobile BP 99% of the time. International, I use a mobile BP 0% of the time. I always have a bag to check in, so even if its QF I'll collect the paper BP from the counter. I'd say it's getting better, especially as more tech savvy people become the bulk of...

For solo tech-savvy travelers that fly on the same couple of airlines every time, this is a yes. Take your everyday traveler that is on Jetstar one day, China Eastern the next day and then Delta the trip after. Now they have to download 3 different apps, possibly on multiple peoples phones...

The current implementation is only back-end API's for the consumer client side. Meaning they need to provide every airline with a UI guide, API documentation and dev support. Then each airline undergoes testing and integration to verify this function and ensure their app works seamlessly with...

Hmm in my experience it worked fine the handful of times I had to use it. It was no buggier then for example Indonesia where the auto complete couldn't find my hotel address, or Singapore where my friend claimed the OCR read their passport wrong causing them to need to fill the form out again at...

The thing is, we had a fully implemented digital arrivals immigration card previously which worked exactly like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia etc. You went to a website before hand, filled out a form and received a QR code. However, the link was poorly communicated. Then when you got on the...

I've always gotten the points back immediately, the refund of taxes back to the card takes a while though.

I very much notice in J if the CSM comes over to say hi. I keep a flight log and can probably tell you which oneworld flights I did and did not receive an in-seat greeting. The ratio of status pax in J is probably much higher, but the actual raw number might not be given how large Y cabins can...

QF42 still had the older kits.

J. My data points are based on about 1 - 3 return international flights a year, of which at least one is on QF. Haven't flown internationally in Y for about 10 years now.

No CSM greeting in-seat on QF41 or QF42 in the last month. May or may not have received a 'welcome back' on boarding in QF41, but didn't on QF42. I know opinions on CSM greetings are quite polarising here, but this makes 1.5 years since I've had one on a long(ish) haul QF flight, when it used...

World Platinum card anyone? 😉

It has to be distance (KM) based. I have 28 flights and only about 30,000 KM's which put me in the top 15%. Mostly flew a lot of domestic triangle route this year. I also like how they updated the 'city you flew the most to' logic to exclude your home city.

A day late posting but yesterday (20 Dec) at 9am the SYD F lounge did not have any WP tags left. The lady wouldn't give me a P1 or CL tag. SYD Dom J had tags in a basket at reception which anyone walking in could grab.

Well I entered and scanned my boarding pass, then literally walked straight on board, but that might have just been good timing on my part. I'm not too sure, I don't take the transfer often enough to have noticed any difference.

SYD to CGK. Starter and main both very good. Dumplings plated better then the above and had a good amount of scallop and prawns inside. Fish was particularly good, soft and moist with lots of flavour, not fishy at all. Desert a bit of a let down, too sweet for me and not much in terms of...
