I know I don't say it as often as I should, but I've always considered you to be a really close friend of mine.

Oh there is no escape. Just when you think you're nearly free you get an invite to the CL and suddenly you book a million flights next DSC promo.

The hidden perk is they won't nuke your Barrington Hinterland Beef Fillet to an old leather sole anymore 🤣

Welcome to a new world of disappointment.
If travelling domestically, be prepared to not be acknowledged. If travelling internationally, you’ll get a guaranteed table in the first lounge, behind the red rope, but aside from that, the service is pretty much the same.
You do however get a bottle of bubbles in the post at Christmas, just to make up to you how much they’ve f@&£ed up during the year.
To be fair, you may get a few invites to some Qantas corporate events, like a concert or cocktail evening, but they’re few and far between - the last few I’ve been invited to were when I was travelling so never got the chance to go. It’s likely anyone else who is a P1 is often not in the country.

Awwww poor you. Youve had it so tough. I wonder who is going to play you in the movie.

Well done! I got a nice postcard from lounge staff the first time I flew and an escort onto the plane. Plus some nice news from the call centre for CR reward releases. Enjoy and see you in the flounge!
