Qantas App Enhancements

Walk in and at the front desk just say I've just arrived on the flight from xx_X and they say welcome. My guess is scanning in on arrivals doesn't work perhaps and it's jut the honour system? No idea.

I only do it if I need to grab a coffee or the trans-con Y meal has been inedible and I want to grab some pizza or piece of fruit.

But I assume you flashed your card at least?

Otherwise anyone could do that.

No. I don't carry a card.

I always have my boarding pass on my phone ready to show, my point is they've never asked to see it.

There was a recent update of the Qantas app that automatically adds your BP to the device's Wallet app (at least on iOS) when doing OLCI through the app. On the rare occasions it has disappeared from the app it has been a reliable fallback, or just scanning the digital membership card.

Edit: Was introduced 7 months ago for iOS 26 users... unsure if they've done the same thing for Android?

Do they know you?

Seems like a major breach of protocol to just let people in without at least verifying their FF status.

Unsure. I mean they might recognise me but they've not given any indication that the remember me from previous visits.

This morning in Canberra trying to use card to scan in, was told that the scanner doesn't scan the card only boarding pass. Not sure that's exactly accurate but quicker to pull out the BP than make an issue at 0500.
