    Rumour: Joyce going; Gail Kelly coming

    If anything she may join the board. The CEO role would be a step down for her.

    Qantas Points and Status Credits - Let's make it simpler again!

    Maybe that will keep us from complaining about Jet* getting the damn 787s first! LOL

    No more QF chauffeur drive to LAX and DFW

    Re: No more QF chauffer drive to LAX and DFW It's not particularly consistent having a chauffeur available on some destinations and not others... Though the quality of chauffeured vehicles varies a lot as well. It's a constantly inconsistent service... So pretty well aligned to other Qantas...

    platinum frequent flyer and upgrades

    The other thing to keep in mind is the day of the week. I may be corrected by other more knowledgable members but I understand Tuesday is the day with fewer premium seats occupied.

    I'm feeling a bit sad ...[My SC's are getting wiped today... =( ]

    I had 2400 wiped as of March 1st. I only flew during the last four months of my last calendar year... So I definitely don't feel like a spent a lot of time at the airport unlike others. Only 80 so far this month.... Damn you Qantas for not offering J MEL-DPO haha.

    Real perks of VA Plat, and what does QFF Lounge have that VA doesn't?

    Not only does the food menu rarely get rotated, I swear some of the crackers have been around since I gained access in 2005. Probably the biggest thing is having enough space to sit down. I've been in lounges from both VA and QF that have been a tad tight on a few occasions.

    Double SCs on eligible Domestic Flights and Double Qantas Points with Qantas Cash

    The DSC promotion has not been smooth for me, each DSC has had to be added manually from the call centre. Some have been escalated to the loyalty team. Some won't be addressed till now (after the promo). The system doesn't seem to handle status runs (same sectors on the same day) and comfort...

    Three cheers for the CBR J lounge

    It is startlingly good in CBR J, poor Melbourne is just plain woeful. Sydney is hardly a massive step up either. Hope they did more than just steam clean the carpets when the latter two re-open haha.

    Double SCs on eligible Domestic Flights and Double Qantas Points with Qantas Cash

    Had to call up to have my DSC's manually added for some comfort J seats I purchased. This ticked me over to WP... so yay for me. The interesting note is the system didn't pick up the DSC's this time around for the seat I actually sat in (on Jan 4th). They couldn't/wouldn't manually adjust that...

    Double Status Credits 2013

    I wouldn't take any relief it was only a qualified speculation.

    Sitting apart, plane is full or booking agent ineptitude?

    Thank you all so much! I will give SQ a call, I have such headaches with QF when changing seats I just assumed that SQ would be the same LOL!

    Sitting apart, plane is full or booking agent ineptitude?

    Hi All, We have a some J flights with SQ heading out of Melbourne. The trip is a business trip that I'm tagging along for, we used our companies corporate travel agent who has been less than stellar. :evil: The result being that she does not have me sitting next to my wife on any of the...

    My Status run to Platinum, MEL-BNE-TSW J return (a novella by bammac)

    Re: My Status run to Platinum, MEL-BNE-TSV J return (a novella by bammac) Pretty cool to know a fellow AFF'er was on the flight! Made a quick and painless call to the QFF call centre today, they added the additional SC's from the 'comfort' seat. No problems there. I did enquire about the...

    Demise of the hot towel and the lavatory hand towels

    It would be great if they pin coded the forward toilets in J preventing the unsullied from using them and forcing them to linger back beyond the curtain.;)

    Demise of the hot towel and the lavatory hand towels

    The hot towels were a little thing, but one I really liked. If they keep chipping away at the little things all we are left with are the things that don't really exist like priority boarding and baggage. With papers disappearing as well, all I'm left with is 'count the stains on the seat' and...

    My Status run to Platinum, MEL-BNE-TSW J return (a novella by bammac)

    Undies riding a tad high Clivem? Hot Towels, priority boarding, status runs, DSC, crew attitudes are all topics that members are posting on regularly and of which I cover in my post. I'm sure someone will appreciate the post.... if not then it's only cost my time and effort.

    My Status run to Platinum, MEL-BNE-TSW J return (a novella by bammac)

    My Status run to Platinum, MEL-BNE-TSV J return (a novella by bammac) Pre-abmble I’m one of the members of the ‘never received an offer for DSC’ club. I’m not sure what the criteria is, but I fly mainly J with the odd F thrown in for good measure. My flying has been limited in the last 18...

    Business Lounges closed 25 December 2013 to 12 January 2014

    I do like it, but my waistline doesn't need it! I take your point that the cheese lovers would see a difference lol.

    First class from SYD-AKL EK412/EK413

    I have flown EK F 4-5 times now on the dash across the ditch. Had a shower once for the 'thrill' of it. The seat itself was a mixed bag in my opinion, you have plenty of length but I don't think the seat is any wider than the J product... unless you count when the arm rests dip in fully flat...
