    Onboard entertainment to PEK

    Hi all, Flying to Beijing next week in Economy. Went onto the QF web site check the onboard entertainment. On the web site, in the list of international destinations, PEK is not even listed (they've been flying there for two months now!) Had "online chat" with a QF representative, who...

    QF557 BNE-SYD cancelled - chaos!

    Flew tonight QF975 TSV-BNE with 60 min connection to QF557 (scheduled 7:15). Various delays were posted (due weather in SYD) and the flight was cancelled around 8:15 PM. Staff in the Business Lounge rebooked me for tomorrow morning and said that accommodation was being arranged and i should...

    Basking in my new status!

    My apologies for gloating ... but the QF web site confirmed today that I have achieved Platinum (FIVE days before my end-of-year-everything-disappears date!). Last two years, I managed Gold with a "double status credit" offer at a strategic time. This year - much to my amazement - I have...

    QF to LKuala Lumpur

    I have to travel to KL later in the year. The simplest is Malaysian Airlines SYD-KUL. I find the QFF pages on this REALLY hard to read, but it looks like travel on MH only accrues 0.25 QFF miles and I'm not sure the status points. Am I better flying SYD-SIN on QF and then SIN-KLU on MH? Michael

    QF SG Priority Baggage?

    Flew QF524 SYD-BNE on 24 Dec and QF545 BNE-SYD on 27 Dec. On both flights, two bags with Gold Q-tags. After QF524, we were among the last people standing at the baggage carousel awaiting our bags. Clearly no PRIORITY. After QF545, our bags arrived approximately in the middle of all the bags...

    260 SCs to Platinum - what to do?

    Hi all, I achieved Gold for the first time this year and am enjoying that. I now find I am 260 SCs away from Platinum. My review date is 30 November. I should be satisfied with what I've got. But 260 SCs seems SO close! (Or, am I delusional?) I have no travel planned for November. I have...

    UA - Quality (?) of service

    I recently flew SYD-SFO-LHR return on United. I managed to get upgraded to Business (using miles) between Sydney and SFO both ways. The experience of Business class trans-Pacific was wonderful. They may be ageing 747s, but the Business cabin is as good as any. SFO-LHR (and return) my upgrade...
