Qantas first class access to Emirates London Heathrow lounge

Jan 12, 2018, 03:12 PM

Is it just me, am I being a little precious, but I find the Qantas lounges in Hong Kong and particularly Singapore to be extremely boring, very ordinary food and very bland generally. I will always use alternate lounges such as BA in Singapore or Cathay in Hong Kong. Only real stand out lounges...
Priority boarding with Qantas, Virgin: what's your experience?

Oct 12, 2017, 10:01 AM

Always seems to work for International departures but almost never on domestic. In fact my last flight to Melbourne (from Sydney) I took the standard line as it was quicker with less people then the Business/Priority line. A bit like priority bag tags, but that is a story for another time I suppo...

I have ordered two but my credit card limit only allowed for one. Times are tough:-)

I thought that Westpac did not allocate FF points for ATO payments anymore - is it correct that you can earn 0.75 Qantas points if you use Westpac Amex?
Qantas frequent flyer Emirates first business class lounge access

Cannot beat the Emirates Auckland lounge - especially compared to the Quantas Auckland lounge. I would almost rate the Emirates Auckland lounge on a par with Qantas First Class at Sydney - not better but a very very close second. Any idea when they are going to do somethign about that terrible Q...

Priority Bag Tags

Not sure if this topic before but it is one with regards to luggage and priority tagging of luggage. I would be very interested to hear members views and thoughts on this as I am a Qantas Platinum member, have been for a few years, and always get my bag tagged with either a Business or Fi...
Luggage - Hard vs Soft Case

May 09, 2018, 03:16 PM

I know this is a conversation abotu hard verse soft but I am surprised nobody has mentioned Tumi - I have three now, one for longer trips to check in and one for shorter domestic trips to carry on-board as well as a standard briefcase. While expensive, for regular travellers hard to beat as you ...

If I am every flying out of HK with either Cathay, Qantas or Emirates I will always use one of the Cathay Lounges. As I am Qantas Platinum that allows me access to their First Class lounges and both Cathy Lounges beat Qantas hands down - in my opinion
China Eastern - Recognition of Qantas status benefits

Oct 16, 2017, 03:54 PM

I have never been allowed lounge access with China Eastern - have checked in at Priority with no problem though but I think that is because they just could not be bothered sending me to the Economy line when I get to the counter rather then actually "legally" allowing it
Do "Priority" luggage tags get luggage delivered quicker?

Sep 29, 2017, 03:21 PM

Quite a coincidence this article - I am Platinum and have been for quite a few years and was just thinking about this on my last return from O/S last week. Flew First from LAX with First tags and as usual, my bags came out well after many others and mixed in with the standard tagged bags. I do n...
