Qantas Platinum One experiences?

[sudoer]

No luck with shadow unfortunately. The check-in counter suggested moving to a bulkhead bassinet (a seat I couldn't self-select online) and told me there was a soft block on the seat next to me - "last to be filled" as they called it - but that it was expected to be a full flight.

Sure enough, not a single seat free in either cabin. The seat next to me has been taken by QF staff (likely on standby leisure) who is lovely and so far very patient with my struggles flying solo with an 18 month old.

While the J upgrade or a shadow would've been nice, I'm glad they suggested the bassinet as I've finally managed to get the kid to sleep in one for the FIRST TIME EVER. Likely her last time in the bassinet too due to weight/size.



Service otherwise excellent on all counts. I've been welcomed and thanked for my loyalty about 5 times, and am typing this having eaten my meal before anyone near me has even been served.

No luck with upgrade request on the return HKG-SYD leg (flex economy) either.

Loads were J5 C1 7 days out, dropped to J3 C1 at T-72, then J1 at T-48, then J0 sometime between T-18 and T-12.

Got the upgrade unsuccessful SMS at T-9. Have a shadow in Y.. for now.

Good luck with your endeavours but it is common with cancellations lately

This might be a silly question, likely to hit P1 on 17/12. I'm assuming that would mean that I'll miss the cut off for Xmas? I presume all the planning would have happened ahead of time.

Definitely too late for Christmas present

But you would keep P1 until the end of your following membership year even if you don’t fly enough to retain, so you have Christmas 2026 to look forward to.
