My recent experience on domestic flights in the US witnessed crowding at the gate and no order even though passengers had zones. The poor people in the final zone called were told there was no space left in the overhead bins and advised to check in carry on luggage. Thank goodness I have priority...

I have been Platinum One for several years and flew out of Sydney recently and never been invited to roped off area.Thanks for alerting me to this.

Let's hope there is an increased number of pay stations to deal with the ever increaing lines of shoppers especially in the mornings!

I departed Bangkok on the day QANTAS commenced using the CIP lounge. It is no where near the standard I expect of QANTAS. I was NOT impressed. I have been told by QANTAS that one can only use the Emirates lounge if one is flyng on an Emirates aircraft. I am yet to try the Cathay option.

Malaysian Airlines have finally contacted me by email to indicate that their early morning flight from Sydney to KL in September  is cancelled due to operational reasons despite a phone agent telling me the contrary. Come on QF get flights going to KL!
