Qantas Platinum One experiences?

[Oscarq]

Your good wishes and positive vibes @boomy @Mattg @Sprucegoose encouraged an invite into the Melbourne Chairmans Lounge.
Upon arrival, sadly I was not on the guest list but good fortuned smiled and I was ushered in with much love. Thanks for the AFFER love..

First flight as a new P1 was QF10 last week. I got a hand written card congratulating me on my recent elevation to the P1 tier.

No other notable change from WP.

Invite to CL tomorrow, early Sunday flight, but won’t say no

Was in the CL in MEL earlier this week returning from @penegal funeral.
More staff than pax, nice service and appreciated the invite.
Would be good if this could be a regular published benefit.

I was invited to CL last Thursday but 2 of the big bosses were here from US. - we were flying Mel to Syd so I could hardly toddle off on my own. Bummer.

Also same week I was invited to The Cartier exhibition but same two US guests prevented this too and I ended up at the NRL at the MCG instead… entertaining customers…

An update re the AKL hosts for the P1/CL meet n greet/departure services. The hosts staff have now been reduced from 11 to just 3 with reduced hours for the remaining staff. There's now only 1 host per shift and the hours of service have been drastically reduced. The late night flight arrivals or departures will no longer be met or escorted for pre boarding. Shifts finish at 8pm or earlier if the last departure is before. Final gasps of the meet n greet I suspect. I guess it all comes down to what QF is willing to pay the service providers for the ground support.

Mine just stand at the gate and say hi Sir.
Did not escort me.
Simply useless.

I’m yet to travel domestically since getting P1 so no CL opps yet.

Wouldn’t hold your breath - I’m into my 5th year of P1 i think and never had one…

My CL invites have always been for early morning flights. It's pretty much like visiting the Intl First lounge for a 6am departure, It's nice, but I'd rather be in bed!
Secretly hoping for an afternoon/evening CL invite one day...

My recent MEL one was timed perfectly. Was able to eat from both the breakfast and all day menus.

I wouldn't be surprised if certain professions are excluded or they favour those older/more senior. God forbid someone in sales were to find their way in...
