    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Agree the sst is great when there are problems. I guess I just reckon that “customer service” shouldn’t be a perk, and if there is a problem delivering on the contract to get me from A to B then sorting that out in a timely manner is just implied. Imagine any other service you purchased...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    International Airports- Best and Worst.

    I am surprised to have gotten this far through the thread without mention of AUH. For a major transit hub, without lounge access it is like a 2nd rage suburban shopping mall with a tiny food court and incredibly limited dining options, filthy toilets etc etc. Add to that almost guaranteed...

    First travel day back as a P1 after a 4 year break - a typical qantaslink canberra airport day of delays and cancellations - but i have to say i am detecting a much better level of service a recognition of P1 than last time round.... hopefully i haven't jinxed it for the rest of year!!!
