Qantas status extension for Platinum frequent flyers
Jul 17, 2023, 10:52 AMThat's kind of a relief.I'm P1, with October 31 renewal. Going to miss 3,600 by a mile.If they had extended the support, I'd have kept chasing it, as I'm more than half way, and will naturally land at about 2,400. So I would have chased 2880.

Qantas rules out below-deck sleeping bunks on Project Sunrise jets
Jun 03, 2019, 05:42 PMTo play Devil's advocate on Qantas overhyping...

Guided tour: inside the new Qantas Singapore first class lounge
Feb 19, 2019, 05:09 PMThey do indeed save a few seats for F (as you walk in, diagonally to the left, backing against the glass overlooking the terminal).

Melbourne to London
Jun 02, 2023, 05:03 PMIsn't the whole point of the A350 to make it a direct flight to London without the need for a stopover? Qantas have been pretty shy about saying anything, but I hear there's a thing called Project Sunrise coming

Qantas Heathrow check-in times
Jul 18, 2022, 04:01 PMDon't do it!The information on the Qantas website is wrong. I made that mistake a fortnight ago. Having carefully checked what it said on the Qantas site, and that there was an earlier departure, I decided to go early and work from the lounge. I ended up hanging around for hours. After QF10 depar...
