    Gifts for cabin crew

    I can't believe this thread. Gifts for cabin crew? I've never done it, never considered it and never would. I smile and say thank you and (usually) get great service. Mostly flying in F internationally and J domestically.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I just flew MEL>DXB>LHR on a QF First Class ticket code shared onto EK flights. That’s worth 420 status credits but they aren’t yet showing on my account - that usually takes a few days. I need those SCs by tomorrow to pass the 3600 SC threshold to upgrade to P1. Will Qantas honour these SCs in...

    After the outbound leg of ADL-LHR which I'll do before the end of the month, I'll be 110 SC's short of P1. Yes, I have Points Club Plus.

    P1 question here. I'm Plat and have about 10 days left to find some more status credits to get to P1. I need one full fare J return ADL-anywhere plus one Y ADL-anywhere return and I'm there on Status Credits. I don't really need to go to Melbourne and/or Sydney for the day but it wouldn't kill...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    My Amex concierge tells me some AU travellers are getting Swiss Covid Certificates which are then recognised when entering EU countries where AU certificates may not be recognised. There is a requirement to show proof of your Swiss accommodation booking when applying but this can be cancelled...

    Business travel to UK?

    I'm vaccinated and I want to attend an annual industry recruitment fair in London in October this year. It's the main source of overseas workers for our business and certainly "essential" to my mind. However, I fear the government will deem it non-essential. How are other frequent international...

    Best connections in Europe?

    EK is closing its First cabin into ADL next month. That kills the only direct F service into Europe for Adelaide flyers. One option is to downgrade to J of course but another solution is to go out through Melbourne and stay in F. Any thoughts on the best airline for schedule allowing for an ADL...

    Actually, flying F on EK out of or into Adelaide as I sometimes do, you usually get an F comfort seat or three for free as the cabin is usually lightly loaded. I sometimes ask the attendant to make up the bed opposite if it is free.

    Thanks folks. I’ve now found the phone number which is hidden on the back of the card. And I’ve put it in my phone. :o I’m back from London before my renewal date so all good.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Hi all. I'm 790 status credits short of renewing my P1 status with 2 months to go. I have a return F trip to LHR coming up in a fortnight. Will that do it? Does it help that I booked and paid for two more F tickets on the same flights? Also, I usually ring the main phone number with any issues...

    LAX First lounge chaos

    I’m P1 thanks to code sharing on EK at every opportunity. Good intell that the QF lounge rabble is normal at peak times at LAX though. I’m used to this in domestic Qantas Club but it was a novelty for me in an F lounge.

    LAX First lounge chaos

    The manager was at the front desk, dealing with the many unhappy guests. I told him as a P1 it was the worst lounge experience i could recall. He said it was his worst experience too!
