    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I have my 280kK trip finally organised. SYD-DFW-xMIA-SCL-MAD-DUB-xHEL-SIN-SYD. With HEL-SIN non-stop availability popping up I dropped going through DOH saving $300 in charges. Overall trip costing $1,050. With the exception of MAD-DUB, great seating on all flights. I expressed concern to the...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    A big thank you to all who have contributed to this thread. Over the last few weeks I have read all 410+ pages and have learned so much. I have now started on the journey towards booking my first 280K trip starting in August 17. The seven week trip is emerging as follows...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Fundamentally a similar question to Kate. I have done my homework on this site (it is truly AWESOME, 7 hours+ reading time) so I am very familiar with the rules. I noticed many references to booking progressively as flights...

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thank you to those who pointed out the right path for me to follow in terms of the QF website. Very much appreciated, spot on it worked. I can see however that when trying to select flights using the QF site you are not...

    re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread An older but novice member here with very few posts to date. Something I intend changing. So this is hopefully a rather simple question. With due respect to the gurus out there I suspect that I am making a simple mistake...

    CL P1 exists???

    Yes surprise surprise Chairman's Lounge Platinum One exists. It takes a lot of hours in the air to achieve. In my case the BP simply says CL and QF #. Nothing more to be said.

    Gave Up An Invite To the A380 Onboard J Lounge.

    IMHO I would stick to my F seat any hour of any day rather than join the upstairs J "lounge". I literally only sat on the bench once and I found it uncomfortble and that whole area just a little tight, space wise. i suppose this is to be expected. As regards the odd glass of wine leaving the F...

    On Debut in Chairmans Lounge Sydney.

    Regardless of the rules re taking pics, it is a private location/sanctuary. It is not a good idea to broadcast pictures on forums such as this.

    New First Class Amenities, Business Class Menu

    I agree with Tooner the I like the cuurent beige ones, very distinctive. The new grey black will be similar to BA First.

    WP asking Etiquette when flying International Y

    Just like zachary.august I am a CL 1. On the very few occasions I have travelled Y. The offer invariably made was low key and my response was moderate in response such as 'perhaps a glass of wine' asking for more is just out of order. If you want more then pay for it.

    Why I love Qantas

    Doing a 50/50 Fand J split on about 8 long each year for the past 15 years I have always found that an opening smile breaks down a lot of barriers or negative attitude. Yes you will sometimes get residual negative attitiude but I have experienced genuinely warm attention pre and post boarding...

    How tall is Alan Joyce?

    It is time for the moderator to step in and stop this personal attack. Debate the topic fair enough but leave the individual's physical characteristics out of the discussion.

    Platinum One Launch Event

    Well the answer is yes you can be a CL and a WP1 at the same time. I presume the new red ink will appear on my CL card when they reissue it. Does anyone know for sure?

    BA/QP Lounge Dragons at Heathrow

    First time here. Great site I had a similar experience except when trying to get into the First Class lounge. The "person" at the front desk was more interested in my class of travel, business, rather than my QF platinum card. I instisted go to go down to the First Lounge
