True, my knees were just so traumatised from Tuesday's flight over I've got tunnel vision :) I'd say any of them are better than QF with the current seats. LATAM is problematic with recovery, I've had a few times where delays have caused the staff to run over hours and the flight was...

QF's onboard food and drink don't come close to making up for their abominably cramped seating in comparison to the legroom offered by NZ. NZ is leaps and bounds ahead when it comes to the seat comfort. I only use them as a last resort, I'm out of SYD, but even having the F lounge for...

thankfully dropped to gold as well, a much better use of USD25 for a qpoint than the 80 on LATAM.

instead of shaving cream I use conditioner, easier to find in small carry-on size or to refill hotel sized bottles at a pinch - it might sound out there, but IMO silicone lube or shaving oil is better for a clean shave and requiring the least fluid so only need a tiny little...

nothing screams "the situation is getting worse for the consumer" than when an airline says "enhancement"

umm, Aussie innovation leading the way? :p

no, I think unfortunately the only confirmation would come on the 1st April - "April Fools" :-/ For 25USD, I think it's worth the punt as I don't have any oneworld flights till then where I could accumulate. The description says "but you've collected or spent Avios or purchased Qpoints at...

missed opportunity perhaps? I used QR status to get extra baggage and lounge for a SYD-AKL on QF last week, and had it changed in the lounge to credit the flight to QF. Only to read afterwards that QR needs some program earn/purchase to get a soft landing from Platinum and that would've likely...

the QF staff have generally been happy to switch the number from QR to QF and override it in the system so you can earn points into QF. It's how I've used my QR status the whole time, just did this last Wednesday - though after seeing this thread update I wish I'd left it with QR - now i'll have...

got the extension as well, seems a shame to have a giftable status wasted with a dummy account - but I know if I'd waited to see what happened, it would've been a hard dump to nothing. So, you're welcome - taking the minimal hit for the greater good lol (I'll also make a post when I'm about to...

wow, they really do process instantly - all it took was a refresh of the other browser window.

just a note for China Airlines to be incredibly careful that the name you use for the ticket matches FF account name _exactly_. That might sound "duh, of course" but the issue is if your account has a middle name but the booking site doesn't ask for a middle name, or vice versa. I've had mine...

sorry i couldn't say for certain, I had a few stays while I was in France so it triggered there - I don't know if home country will work.

https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/our-partners/accor.html link the cards and stay 1 night then you get it. If you have QR platinum it'll bump you to Accor ALL Gold, for the remainder of that year and the next - so if you can do it now, that'd be perfect. Unfortunately mine was at...

extension showed up in the app today, the gift that keeps on giving! thank you QR

thanks, yeah, I know about that part.But even on Qatar's website nothing has updated - so far the only thing I have with an 2024 expiry date is the email. I guess we'll see what happens in 8.5 hours

I got the email too, it isn't reflected on the app, website or the wallet/pass yet so hopefully that updates soon.

keeping my fingers crossed it is an update being rolled out, but mine is till showing expiry on 31/12/2023. Fair enough, the only thing I had crediting back to the program in 2023 was some avios from a few stays with Accor (that status match from QR to Accor was an unexpected bonus!). I did...

yes, my alternative routing offers in the app were "interesting". If I hadn't already re-qualified for WP it might've been tempting. While in the air landing on HBA-MEL I could see an option was to fly to launceston, then on to sydney later in the day, or MEL-CBR, overnight, and CBR-SYD. There...

that day was a mess up from the get-go. I had HBA-MEL-SYD starting from 6:35am, and by the time I reached MEL they'd already had one MEL-SYD canned due to crew issues, and a second MEL-SYD canned with mechanical issues.
