Qantas Platinum One experiences?

[jamesatfish]

Champagne was a well appreciated Christmas gift, though interestingly I know a first-time P1 who received last years 150th Anniversary champers as their 2025 gift.

Fairly positive start to the year - had 2x F reward flights on QF1/2 opened up in March thanks to manual P1 request.

First flight of the year was SYD-CBR this morning that was delayed and then cancelled. System rebooked me several hours later and gate desk told me there was no earlier flight available, but Business lounge staff got me a standby seat on the next flight which made it a bit less annoying (assuming this one actually leaves…)

Nice, SYD-LHR RT or just SYD-SIN/SIN-LHR?

There have been a few reports of this in other P1 groups and the common thread seems to be attaining in the past year

I only qualified P1 for the first time this year also, I got the 2025 gift.

I got the 2025 gift.

Being the Les Clos Pompadour 2017 or the Cuvée Louise Parcelles 2005?

There were at least three different champagnes sent to Aus based P1 members in 2025.. QF also sent noise cancelling headphones to members in postcodes Qantas Wine cannot send to, and P1s based overseas got different gifts again.

Sorry, the Les Clos 2017. Didn't realise there were different ones sent out.

So in February 2025 the P1 briefing email from QF mentioned that:
Platinum One members now have access to our partner, British Airways, First Dining area at Johannesburg International Terminal, from 3pm - 10pm daily.

Well, yesterday I had to argue (politely) with two staff in the lounge and show the QF website and argue some more to get in. They were adamant it was only for First class passengers on QF. The excuse of the dining room being small made no sense considering the QF flight leaves more than 2 hours before the first BA flight.

I'll send feedback to Qantas, but if it's true that CL and P1 don't have access QF should update their website.

So in February 2025 the P1 briefing email from QF mentioned that:

I didn't receive this... the last one I got was on 12 Aug ("The Platinum One Briefing: Retrace the Kangaroo Route with Captain's Choice")

Have you received any others since 12 Aug?
