    Disappointing Upgrade [Non existant Service]

    In late November I was flying Emirates F to New York. I asked a flight attendant what the cabin crew knows about the passengers, eg, Skywards status, ticket details, upgrade and type of upgrade, and she said "Everything. Absolutely everything." I don't know how other passengers would have...

    EK Chauffeur Service Pick-up Time

    It's a frustrating system. I hope everything goes well for you!

    EK Chauffeur Service Pick-up Time

    Usually the contracted company will contact you a few days before your flight to confirm the pick-up, and that's when I ask for any changes.

    EK now nonstop DXB to AKL

    For those saying this flight is too long: what's your cut off point for flight length?

    additional info marked on booking

    I don't know what it was. I was travelling with a friend, so a shadow wasn't possible, I didn't need any special help or meals, and it hasn't resulted in being asked to participate in a survey. It was a straight booking and no changes were needed, so didn't get to test that. Meeestery...

    additional info marked on booking

    Hello AFFers! I noticed this morning that my ADL-BNE return flights are marked "SpecialRequest.CMNT" under the Additional Info section. What does this mean? I didn't make any special requests.

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I have to admit, I just couldn't be bothered. I don't have anything in writing, except for my own notes of the phone conversations, and only first names of the people I spoke to, and no policy to point to or even an official procedure to follow. I guess I also feel pretty "meh" because I've...

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    To update, I still haven't received these, and now don't expect to. GG, Qantas. I'm hoping my Emirates experience in September is better! Fingers crossed.

    You've been very helpful! And I'm sure people do get caught unawares about the frequent flyer details; there's a lot of fine print there, and things change all the time. I really appreciate the time and attention you've given to my thread. Emirates does the chauffeur drive service for Adelaide...

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I meant, can I gift my Qantas status credits to someone? I have 1680 which I have no use for.

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    Qantas status credits aren't important to me; I booked directly with Emirates. Can I gift my status credits to someone else?

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I'm not comparing markets, I'm comparing my experiences and my bills. Maybe the Emirates trip will be horrible and I'll reassess Qantas. I'm also not saying Qantas should be doing anything differently, I'm saying -I- am doing something differently. "btw you paid for 2 legs in F, but only...

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    The Adelaide -> Melbourne -> LA -> JFK route and return has an extremely tight connection schedule and there's no time to go to any lounges except the first one. I had one hour in Melbourne, which is fine for gettng to the international bit and clearing security but doesn't leave anything over...

    Also it's two long legs, both in first class, for $13k, compared to $18k on Qantas where only one leg is in first.

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I agree that the first class service in the air is very good, but the ground service and general availability is tokenistic. The price is certainly not! I've booked Emirates for my next trip in September. I'm sure they have issues like every other airline, but it's going to be interesting to...

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I've received the $1473 refund for the fare difference, but not yet the "downgrade compensation/denied boarding" payment of US$1100 or the promised extra FF points. I haven't signed or been asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, or read or heard any NDA language in my conversations with...

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I don't know if there's any validity to this, but ... I got the strong impression that Qantas's first class service is a token thing, a nod to the Platinum One people or so there is something beyond Business to upgrade to on occasion. Overall, the quality of the product is not what I expected...

    Flight changes; unsure how to proceed

    I'm very happy with it! What I'm considering for the future is the quality and consistency of the Qantas first class product.
