I didn't want to ask, Wayne.
HV, if you click down on the Platinum drop-down menu, it explicitly says that you can use the biz class check in as a OW sapphire. I am not saying that it didn't change, I am saying that if it did then it isn't reflected on the website. From my experience, QF is sort of in a tizzy at the moment, and seems to be making up a lot of their own rules to accomodate a much larger customer base after AN took a dump. For instance, they made a rule that you can't bring anyone with you into the Qantas Club if you are on a F or J ticket or if you are a status member. There were others here and there, along the lines of 0ing out premium availability on some flights and forcing people to WL so that they could selectively sell seats to paying pax before UG pax.
