QF Platinum Recognition on flights

[DrJ]

Does "true domestic" imply Perth is really another country?

Plenty of Sandgropers would like it to be!
Be that as it may, if we were (will never happen), there would hopefully be more competition to QF on the transcon flights, which is the one thing that would make QF up their game!

Was greeted on QF127. Interesting rare moment where I was greeted out of SYD.

I got recognition for the first time from the wonderful cabin manager. She came by several times to check on me and actually stayed for a conversation also! As it was my first time, I really appreciated and enjoyed it.

I sent in a full compliment email (via QF website) acknowledging the cabin manager. Got a reply back from QF thanking me for the words and that it would be passed along.

I really hope I will run into the same cabin manager again. She has a genuine love for her job even after flying for over 20+ years!

No joy on QF1574 out of Melbourne where both my wife and I, both WP, were ignored unlike QF8 a few weeks ago where the purser Julie was just superb

Domestic is a whole different game. On International it's common but not domestic.

Nothing on QF2 tonight from SIN. Not even the welcome back at the door when you get on the plane.

It is a shame how rare those people are at Qantas, but l can imagine it is also hard to remain constantly upbeat after all those years!!

Today on QF3 got greeted at my seat by name and had a chat about my travel plans. Nice guy! Makes up for poor experience at first lounge.

It's interesting, back when I earned WP from 2009-2020 or so, I would often get special greetings or access to drinks during service when others wouldn't (along with other WP's I guess). These days the membership is perhaps too swollen to be too personalised domestic. I'm WP currently courtesy of my mother getting to P1 and I honestly get more attention when travelling with my kids than when travelling alone as a WP.

All that said though, I get even less attention on VA and after a rather unfortunate incident regarding the pax next to me vomiting on me - and getting no sympathy or points or assistance from VA - I wont be flying them again unless in J and even then only sparingly.
