So to be clear, if you're (for example) Bonvoy Gold your starting point is exactly the same as Bonvoy Ambassador Elite? That doesn't seem to make sense. Surely a top status should have you fast tracking to the equivalent with fewer days? i.e Bonvoy Gold -> HH Gold = 6nights vs Bonvoy Ambassado...

Would any happen to know if I gifted one of my Qantas lounge passes to my son flying home on QF76, would he be able to 'redeem' it at the Cathay Lounge? If not, do you know if he can use it anywhere at YVR or not bother? Thanks!

I would definitely pop down to Melbourne (from Sydney) to try the game changer if I ever got the chance! btw strange that SeatGuru doesn't show a configuration of the 777 from Emirates that shows the 4-class version?? (https://seatguru.com/airlines/Emirates_Airlines/information.php)

I couldn't be happier if a 2nd Gen A380 came out..still my favourite aircraft type by a long shot!

Finally..a first/business class 'suite' with individual a/c controls!!! I run SO hot on nearly every flight I'm on and I think only Qsuites had a nice cool temperature :( QF, SQ, CX, EK etc all so so hot and no controls to make it any cooler...(sorry such a minor thing to many but even being too ...
