What service do they offer in LHR?The service applies in LHR too (flew EK) so I presume it would apply in all of those special treatment lounges. Just have to show your card for the non QF bps
I remember reading something about shirt pressing in HKG but have not considered it in the past.

I was referring to a reserved table and champagne (VC).

Boarding Gate 12 at Melbourne last night. Was late to the gate as previous flight was delayed. Several gates boarding in that mess at the end of the LH arm and I was struggling to decipher the queues. Figured my gate and weaved through the crowd to the premium (LH) lane. Arrived at the end to find a huge queue to my right and only one person handling the boarding. Of course I'm the only one on the premium side. I was basically ignored whilst she steadily boarded another half dozen or so. I eventually caught her eye and was asked if I wanted to board the flight ( I don't think I imagined the sarcasm). She did allow me to jump in but no apology offered. Definitely got the impression that I was considered to be doing the wrong thing because she was on her own.
Not sure of my thoughts on this. Definitely no regrets. I still got on promptly and avoided a long queue. I'm wondering if it was rude behaviour? I find priority boarding is one of those things I'm proprietorial about. I hate queues and find it annoying to stand in the priority lane behind very obvious non FF pax and they get boarded without a word. I even manoeuvre so that I can squint at their boarding pass, just to add extra venom to my dirty looks! In this instance, I was simply utilising a promoted benefit. Priority lane was there, I used it. P1 flying J, fully entitled and I can't help but think that the embarrassment should be on Qantas' side, for not having anyone to board the premium lane.

See your point. I did mean it to be in the P1 thread as it was a P1 experience but on re-reading I can see it sounds a bit like a PB rant. The point was, that as a P1 inadvertently placed in a slightly embarrassing situation, there was no effort made to smooth the situation. A quick smile and "sorry about that, I'm on my own" would have sufficed.Did you mean this to be in the P1 thread or the PB thread?
At any rate on a few occasions I've been in similar situations (one person manning the EGR) but never experienced being "ignored" for being in the priority queue. I guess though that the way I've also handled it is walked up to the end of the line, waited for whoever is being processed to pass through and then step forward practively. Never really had an issue.
I do agree that area around gates 9/10/11/12 can be a zoo, specialy with a widebody at one of the outher gates..

Probably seems a bit precious, but it's the little things that make the difference.
Hi Guys
First post, please go easy on me.
I had a question, but I couldn't easily find the answer elsewhere.
I am recently minted P1.
Going Sydney-London for Xmas holidays. Wife and 3 kids. Travelling economy
Traditionally, never had a problem getting the 3 kids in the lounge, but this year the eldest will be 18 (classified as an adult guest, I guess?)
Anyone know what the protocol/rules are around getting them into the First lounge at Sydney (or any other lounge for that matter)?
Should I use one of the complimentary passes to get the eldest in?
Thanks for any tips
Thanks, so similar to F then.LHR have champagne in the lounge for P1/CL (Sparkling for everyone else) as well as fancier wines too. Staff also give better service as you are identifiable with a book with a gold band on it

Hi there @New to this, I get your situation.
Since last year QF brought in that the WP membership can be given to people who are not your partner (used to be only to your spouse).
Oh really? That's interesting. I wonder if P1 members are selling them off (particularly if they don't have a spouse).
The LHR CL/F/P1 menu only has 3 wines that are available to these passengers. No other hidden offerings.Thanks, so similar to F then.
I haven't been through in over a year so the book with the gold band is possibly new - not something I remember.
The host did mention to the bartender that I was an F pax and they had Perrier-Jouet.
The LHR CL/F/P1 menu only has 3 wines that are available to these passengers. No other hidden offerings.
Perrier-Jouet, Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2015 and Wolf Blass St John's 5355 Shiraz 2012.
Similar to the other F lounges - SYD, MEL, LAX.
