Qantas status extension for Platinum frequent flyers

Jul 17, 2023, 10:52 AM

That'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. But at least I know I can stop now.(Mind you, that dem...
Regional Express/Rex guide: routes, fleet, cabin, lounges [2022]

Feb 15, 2021, 12:08 PM

I'm curious how other readers find the timings of connections between the regional routes and feeding into the new city routes? It may just be a bit of my bad luck for where I happen to be, but in my case, the timings are unworkable. So what had seemed like a really attractive option of usi...

Qantas rules out below-deck sleeping bunks on Project Sunrise jets

Jun 03, 2019, 05:42 PM

To play Devil's advocate on Qantas overhyping... With both the "revolutionary" premium economy comment and below-deck bunks, they seemed to be based on a couple of throwaway lines from Alan Joyce.

Should employees be allowed to keep points earned on staff travel?

Apr 02, 2019, 08:56 AM

I wonder if chasing status sometimes means an employee might not act in their company's best interests over the timing of buying a ticket.Sale fare available right now, but holding out for the double status credits promotion in a few weeks time that might just get you up to P1?Might you be less t...

Melbourne to London

Jun 02, 2023, 05:03 PM

Isn'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 PM

Don'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...
PE pax using Biz toilets

Jul 01, 2022, 06:31 PM

You're correct that it is standard, Sydney Travels.There's one toilet in front of the main business cabin where 30 pax are seated.Then there are two more toilets between the main biz cabin and the small biz cabin (which has another 10 pax). Those two are also shared with the 28 pax in PE behind.P...

Thanks for the advice, y'all - particularly on Accor. I'd been leaning in that direction but based on the feedback, perhaps I'll think again on that
