    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I was on the ill fated QF2 flight.. We got as far as Budapest and then Capt informed us that 2 Navigation systems had failed and he was not prepared to proceed. So we returned back to LHR landing about 1.30am.... at which point a S%^T storm occurred.. Obviously the curfew was in effect so no one...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I had a similar situation last Christmas, where I was travelling with my family 3 kids and oldest had just turned 18. I had given Platinum to my wife but as we were flying CX (QF award redemption), the rules stated that we could only invite 1 guest each into Sydney F Lounge.. Luckily the Lounge...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Have to say my experience of P1 for the last 9 months has been generally positive. The champagne is a nice touch, as was the invitation to the wine awards in Melbourne last year. I can take or leave the welcome from the CSM. Big benefit I have seen is quick help in the case of disrupted flying...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Re: Emirates Delays/Cancellations I was on QF9 that left Friday night that was diverted to Muscat as Dubai closed due to fog. We spent ~2 hours on the ground refuelling before heading to Dubai which was a zoo as you can imagine.. Luckily the P1 team were looking out for me as they had already...

    Seat Allocation Etiquette

    Slightly OT, but last month when coming back from LAX where I had picked 13K on the A380 ..A couple who had been split 13J and 11K asked if I minded moving to 11K... Not a huge deal from my perspective, although I always find row 11 to be a little restrictive when trying to get past. Never the...

    QF Double Status Credits (SC) offer for all :)

    Perhaps a silly question, but would QF flight numbers, but on EK metal (ex dubai) still attract this offer..ie flying to/from MXP from Dubai?

    CX Lounge entry denied (SFO)

    Re: No access to Cathay lounge in SF Zildaz....Had exactly the same situation last Thursday. I am QF Platinum, traveling on QF 74 in J and after seeing the deplorable state of the Air France lounge (why QF passengers would be directed to a Sky Team lounge instead of OW?) went in search of the...

    EK Metal, no QF J seats available & thus no status credits

    Interesting...yes I have flown on the QF code share DXB-FCO 3 times in last year (QF8097 in May). Bizarre..? Re Poochie's suggestion. I looked at the CX options, unfortunately the outbound from MEL to KHG left early afternoon and can't leave that early.

    Hi all, I am QF WP & have a trip to Europe & China in next couple of weeks in J. MEL-DXB on QF9, so no issues will get status credits as normal. Subsequent flights DXB-FCO, MXP-DXB, DXB-CAN have all been booked with EK flight number. I asked TA to rebook under QF flight number but was told no J...
