Qantas uncorks Penfolds Grange at its first class lounges
Dec 20, 2023, 05:35 PMI had 3 hours there yesterday (Tuesday) & for the first time ever, I felt like the team could not have been less helpful or cared less. It was busy but not overly so, so no obvious excuse apart from the attitude of the senior staff which was flowing downwards. As a P1 although only a J flyer ...

Qantas status extension for Platinum frequent flyers
Jul 17, 2023, 05:54 PMSo many valid points made already here & so much opportunity for QF to do something that FF would actually appreciate. And I don't mean sending a supposed limited edition amenity kit to me at home, ugh! QF clearly have no idea as to the profile of their customers. I also agr...

23-hour marathon: Qantas restarts New York flights
Jun 14, 2023, 07:08 PMI have to say that whilst I love a direct flight, this won't be attracting me. I recently did this (although not on QF) and whilst it was fine on the way to NYC it was a killer on the way home. Basically the timing is off so it is a similar feeling to the old days of getting to LA, wa...

Revealed: Qantas’ secret first class lounge menu
May 28, 2023, 11:05 AMI really don't like the idea of a "secret" menu, roped off area or bottle of wine, seriously? Either have a F/P1 area or don't, we're not children! Having said that I agree with most other comments here in that the whole thing needs a revamp and good on them for trying. However, QF de...

Virgin Australia offers Qantas Gold, Platinum status match
Sep 28, 2022, 06:14 PMI'm a QFP1 and frankly have had no problems with QF and if there are issues (which has fortunately hardly happened) like delayed, cancelled flights they are always onto it before me. I am looked after really well. However, the price gouging that existed prior to Covid with QF is...

Double Status Credit
Jun 18, 2023, 03:34 PMI recently flew several DSC eligible segments and the regular SC were posted within 24 hrs and the DSC within the next 36 so my experience was pretty good. This was a mix of domestic & intl all QF flights so no reason to think yours wouldn’t be credited as quickly. Good luck!

Passports and no where to go!
Jun 09, 2021, 03:46 PMI too thought that I would let mine lapse when the time came but when I received what I thought was a joke DFAT text in April advising it had, I couldn’t renew it fast enough! The thought of reproducing all that paperwork later was too much. And whilst I dream of exemptions, I will be fully...

Qantas A330 ex BNE VS JAL 787-9 ex SYD
Feb 12, 2020, 05:54 PMI am a QF P1 and recently had a last minute emergency flight to New York. There were no avail seats with QF so travelled with JAL. I am never going back to QF, JAL were amazing! Service, food and more importantly, the timings were fantastic. It was just two almost equal length sectors, didn'...

Getting QF codeshare on Cathay Pacific operated flights.
Oct 18, 2019, 06:40 PMGood luck! I too am locked into QF and recently flew to India. I ultimately decided on the quickest route - big trade off, time vs SC. Yes, I flew Malaysian which was more than fine and the stopovers in both directions were by far the shortest vs when I looked at HKG and SIN. The bad news, o...

QF SYD First Lounge day spa hours?
Aug 21, 2019, 03:38 PMUnless you are a F class passenger it is hard to get an appt at anytime on a J ticket. Seems ridiculous when so many flights don't even have first class anymore. I'm P1, travel J and I have only ever managed an appt once!! Still, if u get there at an off time u maybe lucky!
