This was an interesting flight, I felt for the crew. Good news is we landed approx 20 mins early into Melbourne. There was no catering on the flight. As we boarded it was suggested we purchase some food, too late for me and I didn’t eat in the lounge. Apparently the aircraft change led to a mix...

I’m on the 6 April flight in 2k at the moment! Nice surprise.

I agree with Fiona, I’ve done this flight a few times recently including this week in J. The checks etc are relatively quick, nice visit to the F lounge. Service in J very good. all of the passengers in my vicinity were heading to Perth, a few of us discussed the benefits of the flight. For me...

I am the P1 RichardMel met on the last EK flight to Auckland and back on Saturday. We had a lovely chat, he is the second P1 I have met and the other one was a random chat in Y on a Perth flight. The Briefing is so lacking in content, why bother. Providing a link to the benefits we already...

I’m doing a day trip tomorrow to pick up husband and have lunch with friends. He will be in J I will be in 2k. See you tomorrow.

my Husband will hit Platinum next month, he suggested I gift my Platinum to our friend with cancer on his final bucket list trips and I had to tell him not possible...

I’m on 2k on the Auckland - Melbourne flight on the 24th. Looks fowarrd to catching up.

I've booked for a status run on the 24th ex Melb. In 2k. Looking forward to meeting some fellow members. As my husband works in NZ for large chunks of the year, the F trips have been my indulgence for the last few years. I will miss them.

Thanks for all your replies, lots to consider. I'll probably keep flying internationally on Qantas for the meantime give my status, and I've already retain Platinum going forward even if I drop P1. Good to know about economy X.

Hi P1 on Qantas and very familiar with the program and have learnt a lot from this forum. Have been given a status match to platinum VA as work have changed preferred carriers. Have begun to study this forum but grateful for any tips or advice regarding the change. I generally fly domestically...

I am flying to Johannesburg on QF63 on 7 August. Looking for recommendations for seat selection on what appears to be the new configuration. I've presently selected 5B but have read mixed reviews of the seat and I am unsure if that is a good selection or not. I've selected 2A on the old first...

I was 7 status credits short prior to my flight to Canberra. By my 5pm flight home to Melbourne my boarding pass online had updated to P1 as had my profile online as my 10 status credits from the trip to Canberra had credited. I've applied for my husband to receive platinum status online. He...

Thanks for the tips re the simulator and the congratulations. Yes it's a lot of flying!

I hit Platinum One this morning on my Canberra flight. There it was displayed on my return flight to Melbourne. I've read this thread with interest as I knew I would likely reach the mark this year. I will be interested to see the difference from platinum which I've been for approx 6 years.

I had the sticky beef and pavlova in the Melbourne F lounge yesterday, they were lovely. The strangest thing I witnessed was a family bundling chips into serviettes as they were hurried out of the lounge to fly to Honolulu on JQ!! I also think that one was a 'minor celebrity'........

I am 26 status credits shy of LTG with a flight on Tuesday which will give me 30 SC and LTG. Didn't really aim to achieve it. Took me 20 years to LTS and just under 3 years to LTG due to both work and husband working in NZ and me doing a number of J/F runs to NZ.

Hello i am flying air aberlin Saturday Cologne- Berlin and a little confused as to whether the additional One World baggage allowance will apply on a per kg or per piece basis, the standard allowance is 23kgs per bag. Is there anyone with experience that can clarify this issue. If the maximum...

I didn't end up using this offer as I couldn't justify the J prices and status credits are more important to me than points. Have been watching each day and the 'business sale' has again appeared for late September 2016 where I was monitering. I generally find these are not promoted although...

I got the offer. Fly to NZ regularly as husband is a kiwi and he works in NZ for blocks of each year. Now just need to plan some trips! A bonus in my quest to get to LTG this year. Unfortunately, I usually use EK on QF flight numbers coming home so will need to change that.

This happens often with my husband and I. I am WP and he was until recently silver and is now gold. We often travel together but on seperate bookings. It is always me in J and he is in Y. Sometimes this is due to booking different classes due to work v pleasure and sometimes because I get an...
