    Qantas Club Expiry Noted on QFF Summary Page

    Score!!! Qantas just comped me Platinum for another year to Feb 11!!! Unbelievable...especially considering how woefully under the 1200 status credits I was for the past membership period. Boy am I glad I decided not to do a status run last month to catch up on all those required status...

    Qantas Club Expiry Noted on QFF Summary Page

    Grrr...my platinum membership is due to expire on Feb 28 and I have several substantial pacific flights over the next 2 weeks....what's the chances of Qantas keeping my platinum membership open after Feb 28 for a couple of weeks so I can have one last hurrah in the F lounges before I'm sent back...

    Qantas Club Expiry Noted on QFF Summary Page

    Hi everyone Just a quick question today. I noticed while viewing my QFF summary this morning that I now have an additional line item telling me that my QC membership expires on 31 July 2011. As a Platinum member, I'm surprised that this line has been added as I thought my QC membership...

    Platinum Vs Gold

    Oh that's a good one - forgot all about it. When I was looking for euro award flights on CX/QF/BA a while ago, the Qantas Platinum Call Center Rep was able to release a bucket load of business and a few additional first seats for me just because I was platinum!!! Let's also not forget the...

    Platinum Vs Gold

    Personal thoughts after 3 years of Platinum membership....do whatever it takes to qualify. I've had significantly better treatment from Qantas as a Platinum both on and off-board. Plus the op-ups are much more frequent!!!

    Platinum Vs Gold

    I usually do the re-entry into T4 whenever I fly from SYD/MEL-LAX and then on to SFO because the OneWorld First Lounge is so much better than the AA First Lounge at the TBIT. I've never had any problems until recently when I was informed by the receptionist that it was impossible for her to...

    Suggestions for SFO to HKG Flight

    Oh, i've also redeemed first class seats from HKG to LHR return with CX. Does anyone know what the chances are of getting the new first class product on this route in late April this year? Thanks in advance Chris

    Suggestions for SFO to HKG Flight

    Thanks for the info. I flew CX two years ago from SFO to HKG in economy and it felt like being packed in a can of sardines. I just checked out the new website and I see that there is a new economy offering, as Hawkeye mentioned. Has anyone been on the new CX economy offering? Generally...

    Suggestions for SFO to HKG Flight

    Hi everyone I'm planning to fly to HKG in late April, and I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on their recent experiences to date with the various airlines that service this route. I'm looking to fly either economy or a premium economy product. Thanks in advance Chris

    Qantas Customer Service Manager Greeting

    Hi... I just have to say...despite all the negative press that Qantas has received over the past year, it is still pleasing to note that I have received my customer service manager greeting 4 out of 4 times in the last two months on my transpacific flights in Nov/Dec 08. While the greeting...

    What must one do for an exit row?

    I am about 5'10 and dont really have too much of a problem. Though, I would never willingly sit in the A bulkhead seat as I think that is asking for trouble. I also would not stick my legs or any other limb out in the aisle...for fear of losing said limbs to the cabin crew traffic!!! They are...

    What must one do for an exit row?

    Hmmm, I had an entire left section of the bulk head row to myself on my last trip SYD-LAX, and similarly, a lady to my side had the entire middle section of the bulk head row. The right hand section is reserved for cabin crew. I'm not sure why that was the case, especially since I...

    What must one do for an exit row?

    I contacted the QFF service center a couple of days ago about an upcoming award booking (by the way, much better deal if you start your travel outside of Australia) and asked the customer service agent about recording preferences for exit row seats. She confirmed what everyone on the board...

    Another Notebook Question Thread....

    eck, that is my greatest fear at QPs ... someone nicking my laptop while i grab a cuppa and a bite to eat. I typically could not be bothered putting away my laptop while I am charging.

    Another Notebook Question Thread....

    I have an X61 and have to agree with earlier comments that it is a marvel for the road warrior! It is light, compact and generally reliable. The lack of a cd-rom has not been an issue for me. I can't recall the last time I've needed to use a cd-rom. The fact that it is so light and compact...

    Op Ups in AA v QF for Elite Status Members

    Interestingly enough, I scored an upgrade to first from SFO to DFW when I missed my direct UA flight to ATL (SFO airport was at fault!!!). I was on the waiting list at the SFO gate, and at the last minute I received a boarding pass in coach (must to my relief), and then a few minutes later, I...

    Op Ups in AA v QF for Elite Status Members

    Ok, i think i misunderstood what you wrote in your earlier response to my question. My bad! So actually, you are suggesting that perhaps AA look after their own first in dire circumstances? My only concern with quoting AA number on my flights is for my QF flights typically on Discount...

    Op Ups in AA v QF for Elite Status Members

    I agree....OW Emerald seems to be exactly the same as EXP for boarding/lounge access purposes. I do however carry both my WP and AA PLT card as precaution!
