Soon, I'll be taking my first QF flight since becoming a P1 (my new membership year occurred in-between). I'll let you know if I receive any acknowledgement.
It will be a flight back to Australia (going over with JQ).
A couple of weeks ago, I had an invite to a coughtail event in my city - I sadly had to decline as I was already booked that night (and was only informed shortly beforehand). I asked them to keep me informed of other events and they replied to me, which was nice.
I had my first flight as a P1: it was QF24 BKK-SYD. It was in Y (had I known that that would've been my first as a P1, I would've picked something closer to the front). I had a bulkhead seat which I wasn't exactly fond of. Yes, the extra legroom is definitely beneficial, however, with the tv screen being on the arm, that means it's at a weird angle and cannot be used during taxi, take-off, and landing.
After checking their sheet, I was greeted at my seat nicely by the flight attendant who said to let them know if there's anything that they can do for me. I did have one request: I asked them for a set of pyjamas as it was an overnight flight. To my surprise, they actually brought me a set (which I subsequently wore). I asked for some slippers too but the attendant informed me that they don't hand these out in J anymore (so they brought me an eye mask and socks instead).
Unfortunately, this was the first time that I got zero sleep on a flight (normally it's disjointed/broken sleep not absolutely nothing). So, to make good use of the time, I almost finished season one of Ted Lasso (I had heard heard of the program but never seen it before).
If anything extraordinary happens, on future flights, I'll report back.
