QF A380 flights on sale now...

[Philip Argy]

I'm a Platinum FF and received nothing ...

[Andrew M]

Spoke to many people with FF accounts with QF, lots of Platinums included. No email about the sale.

Thanks QF

That being said the website couldn't cope with the load from the A380 launch alone! Let alone a big sale!

in other words they flew under the radar with it and didn't do a red-e-deal mail out...

you don't generally find a "pay cash" airfare special in your FF email.

Correct! So everyone did receive that email, but who really reads the points balance updates..

As Qantas will only have three aircraft by 16 January, 2009 they will have to adjust the LAX schedule to fit in the LHR services, as QF 31 departs SYD on successive days, Fridays and Saturdays.

Maybe I got a different version to everyone else, but all that the first item in my Points Balance said was this:

Where in there or in the linked site is there a special offer remotely like what has been offered overseas, which is what the original comment was pointing out. No-one said we weren't told that A380 had gone on sale - just that even platinum FFs weren't offered a special deal, and certainly not a pay cash offer.

I got that version too and it didn't offer anything other than what you've posted...which we had posted here well before the email out.

I think this thread started about 3hrs before QF even sent out their email.
