• As a Plat, places where I want to see improved catering (meat or otherwise, I was previously unaware how the provision of meat was such an indicator of quality for some fliers): the lounges, transcon domestic and Tasman all classes. Long haul Y the quality is good but the service just looks cheap...

  • Lol what. Nobody is going to melt if they have a vegetarian frittata in the 30 minute service window on a SYD-MEL flight. The meals aren't vegan- vegans are BYO on domestic flights- but they have increased their plant based options in line with broader contemporary trends in consumer habits. The ...

One thing + personal item doesn't seem to mean anything now, and you typically see everyone with a giant rollie, a laptop bag, AND a s...

    The CX lounge is good, although last time I was there they only opened half of it for a few hours (which was all QF passengers) then open the other half closer to their own HKG flight.

  • Gold is equivalent to Oneworld Sapphire, which has priority boarding across the network as a perk. I care less about when (P1) I board but would rather see hand luggage with some degree of gentle enforcement. The one + personal item is starting to get more and more ridiculous, particularly when c...
