QF Platinum Recognition on flights

[Daver6]

This was waiting for me on my seat today

After take-off asked ahead of other pax if there was anything I wanted. My request for champagne was lost in translation I guess

At top of descent I was given a QF key ring. Two other WP around me. One given a J amenity kit and the other a QF cap.

Interesting @Daver6 as it seems recognition is good/better for Y pax.

In the past year, over a dozen J international flights, only one key ring for Mr Flyfrequently after we were delayed and ended up departing on his birthday.

Yes, but that’s where it really makes a difference.

I rarely have not got a personal welcome flying J but there’s not much extra they can do besides ensuring first choice of meals etc.

There seems to be a recent uptick in recognition, ie last few weeks

Happy to fly J with no recognition than Y to maybe get a card/keyring/cup of plonk @SYD

Just to clarify, I invariably do get a personal welcome in J.

But I’ve had some splendid medium haul flights in whY where J cabin crew just turn up unannounced with proper glass full of J red wine. Cheers!

I have had a few domestic flights in the last few weeks.

All economy, east to west plus Network, and Alliance.

No mention of platinum at all, however service was warm and friendly on all legs. No complaints.

In May, J points redemption on QF,AY and BA euro. No specific mention or additional mention of platinum/emerald. However, again, great friendly service on all legs. Sitting in row 2 mostly.

It's only anecdotal, but the number of QFF folks I have chatted to in recent months between HKG and SIN who are deliberately using CX or QR as their main carrier for international has actually astounded me. Wonder if this is now beginning to dawn on QF with all the post-pandemic status holdovers disappearing?

I still use QF ex-AU but it's considerably getting hard to. Ain't no way I'm flying to ICN on JQ and that means I need to feed on CX. Same with PVG and SGN.

"G'day and welcome back sir" is cool and all, but have you tried a little baksheesh to elicit something more?
