    Platinum One people - what’s your job/business?

    I have Skywards and Sing PPS, Qantas status is good for certain routes they dominate such as Port Moresby in addition it allows a good level of service for family based in Australia. I moved to Qantas as a primary program when Qantas was doing an evening flight direct from Mel-DXB as part of the...

    Article: Bizarre Trick to Get Qantas First Class Awards

    When you arrive in Sydney you collect your bags and go through immigration. I would let Qantas know that you are not taking the ongoing flight and you may even get a partial refund for taxs on the flight. I have often missed connections when flying back into Sydney.

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    With Qantas offering status extension with a flight it would seem silly to take double credits. Also did anyone get the Double credits for the Qantas travel vouchers. I never did?

    Article: How to Get Good Qantas Customer Service for Under $3,000

    Sorry to tell you Qantas platinum is not worth that much. I have been platinum for 7 years and I am treated really badly. Here are 3 examples in the past 2 weeks. I had a notification on a Thursday night. I called the number and went to the priority line 40 minutes I got disconnected. On the...

    Emirates hikes up carrier charges on reward seats

    It is outrageous! It used to be be nothing to redeem a reward flight. I booked many. Then it was + airport taxes about 50 AUD then it was + this and that and now it seems like + the price of an economy ticket. It makes no sense at all given alternatives. Very smart by Qantas because who would...

    Auckland Emirates Lounge [Now open approx. 11am-2pm,5pm-9pm]

    I had quite a good experience at the Emirates lounge last month. I was in the Qantas "First lounge" which is possibly the worst I have seen in the Qantas network and departed to my gate where boarding to the Qantas flight was not close to getting started. The Lady working in the lounge...

    'The House' 3 hour limit [Now rescinded for VA PAX]

    Sounds like exactly what I would expect from Virgin. Its not really for business travellers I have visited the domestic lounges in Melbourne and Sydney. I am sure it is perfectly fine for the Virgin customers.

    Status run or take Qantas 80k offer?

    How Could 80k points be worth Gold Status? I would suggest a quick European trip on the QF emirates flights use points and pay. Do not do Qatar as you will not get points or status credits on the low fairs but all QF sale tickets on EK metal give you both points and SC. A few days in sunny...

    No show on A380 between checking in with luggage and boarding

    As a frequent traveler it can be frustrating. It is not always a passengers fault. I had a situation 2 years ago where Emirates closed the boarding gate from the FC lounge early so the staff could open another gate. At this time there were no staff close, I also think that information displayed...
