Hi Everyone,

Amongst all of the doom and gloom of recent times with the Red Roo, I thought I would share a positive experience I had on Thursday night. I was in the BNE J Lounge waiting for my flighnt to PER, when my wife called me and told me that she was in labour and it was all happening very fast. I spoke to her for a while in the lounge but had to put down the phone and board my flight.

When the CSM was doing his normal meet and greet I told him about my situation (just making conversation really). He was very suprised and obviously sympathised with my anxiety, so he got my wife's number off me and said that he would be back shortly. He came back to my seat after about 20 minutes and told me that they had messaged their ops centre to call my wife and was able to give me a series of updates along the way, including confirming for me the birth of my son.

I am about as disgruntled as everyone else about the "simplification" that's going on soon, but I really was blown away by QF's service on this occasion and felt compelled to share it.

Cheers,

A big congrats on the birth of your son :)

It's good to hear some positive experiences on QF among all the negativity that seems to surround them lately.
 
Congratulations :)
What a great example of exemplary customer service by QF. Hopefully they will get recognition for it and thankyou for sharing.

Thanks everyone. Yes, I thought it was a great example of what Qantas should be like more often.

I have sent a message of feedback thorugh the Qantas website so hopefully the correct people get recognised.

Great gesture from the CSM on that flight and good on you for sending a feedback.
People are usually quick with sending negative feedbacks and don't always remember to recognise the good things.
 
QF at it's best is untouchable! Congrats on the birth of your child! :)

I'd also PM Red Roo here as well to ensure the CSM and others get recognised for their kind and thoughtful effort.

Congratulation !

Now it's time to enrol your son to the QFF scheme ?

I absolutely agree. I have had some amazing displays of customer service from Qantas. Another example that jumps out is when my wife's mother passed away at the end of 2012 while we were holidaying in QLD. While on the drive to BNE, I was on the phone to QF organising a compasionate flight. We ended up getting the the air port late after a 5 hour drive and the flight screens said that the flight was closed. an attendant noticed my wife crying in the foyer, found out what was happening, and within minutes we were told the the gate was reopened and someone was there to escort us all the way through security to our seats.

I will make sure that I do that ;)

It doesn't matter how much Qantas appears in a bad light in the media and everything else that is going on. I will always do everything I can to stay a Qantas Frequent Flyer.
 
Congratulations Dr0pB3ar to both of you.

We must have been in the BNE business lounge around the same time.
 
Hi John,

I was the one nervously pacing up and down the lounge on the phone! haha

I was there after a connection from TSV for about an hour and a half.

Cheers,

Andrew
