QF Premium Economy

A recent schedule change email from QF, prompted me to look at an upcoming (all economy I thought) QantasLink 717 segment on CheckMyTrip…

I don’t know if it is just a feature of the new version of CheckMyTrip, but the flight I am booked on now appears as “Premium economy”!

Venturing a little further, and checking my booking on the Qantas website reveals –
Status: Confirmed, but no class for that segment! (Previously it was “Economy”)

So, is this just a flaw in reading QF booking codes, or something more?!

Re: QF Premium Economy

I dont think that the Fourth Cabin (assumed to be Y+ but it could be F+ or even the bowling alley) is planned until the A380 comes on line (along with everything else I guess...)

There is more than JUST the top end of the fleet (and flights to HKG) where QF has to compete!

On my upcoming RTW award the first 2 flights which are QF segments, QF136, QF25 are appearing as Premium Economy, the last 2 flights which are QF segments, QF30, QF188 are appearing as Economy Restricted, the AA segments are appearing as Economy Restricted, the BA segments are appearing as Economy and the AY segments are appearing as Economy Restricted.

As far as I know I am travelling in economy. I think the new version of CheckMyTrip has a few issues.

Are you referring to the F lounge run? I was hoping to get a steak sandwich in MEL.

Oh well, I will have to just drown my sorrows....

LOL


It is VERY evident that MEL QF lounges go through a “phase shift” once the QF SFO flight departs! I am going to assume, that this transition marks the change between breakfast & “all day” menus!

I guess that means when you arrive back in SYD T1, you will take the train to T3/T2 and alternate between the (WP access anytime) HPs!

ENJOY YOUR (plural) DAY

No Crown Lager or Bluetongue early in the morning in the MEL F lounge?

OMG you start early, I thought I was bad enough hoeing into the bubbles that time of morning... Although in the old hideous QF MEL T2 FL (we don't forget), I could hide away from view in the "kitchen" area and drink the wicked stuff before
noon!

P.S. MEL SQ PPS…why are you not upstairs? To MEL airport: BAD erkkkkk MOVE!

Nothing to do with the new version, it has often had issues with award classes. Methunks that the 1st 2 QF flights are in T class and that is being misinterpreted as Premium Economy ( as used by BA ) whilst the latter ones are in X class and correctly interpreted as restricted economy.

BA used to use R class for award WT+ and that used to get interpreted as being for Concorde (as R was Full paid Supersonic class) and more recently they used P for WT+ which used to be interpreted as First ( since paid first used to be P )

Not really CMTs fault to be fair
