Might have to cancel a MASA in J - Noooo

[boomy]

When I tried recently to change FASA booked last year over the phone I was told no name changes allowed at all and no date changes allowed beyond one year of the original booking. The only positive is no penalty for cancellations.

I was quoted $168 cancellation fee, converted from AED as DXB was the city of departure (DXB-MEL-SYD-BNE)

I would do the trip for the hell of it and have the few days.

But that is just me.

Time off for me is a luxury I don't get enough of.

I tried to change a JASA online recently and couldn't do (ADL to HBA and return) - just wanted to change the dates - so I rang Qantas and they wanted 3500 points for phone help and 3500 for change fee (one of them might have been 4500) and I said I can't do it online so you shouldn't charge that - so I promptly logged into my booking to prove I was right and was able to change it - but then got an error message and thought oh well - then it all came up OK again - asked what dates do you want to change to and it was all good -PLUS it said I get a refund of around $160 which doesn't appear on the itinerary I was emailed but luckily took a screen shot - also was looking at eligible flights last night and there weren't many but seemed heaps more today - odd but I'm happy

Reading this post with interest : Find myself having to alter dates for my final JASA (BNE-SIN)as an unexepected trip to JNB popped up in the same date range. Question please, I am attempting to change dates on MMB and it looks like it will work however I was wondering if I switch to a Emirates code shared flight will I still get full status credits ? Cheers CM :mrgreen: I will advise of my success/failure once I follow through with change.

I don't think you could do any MASA on anything but QF plane and QFI flight number (although there was a very sparse anecdote about flights operated by another OneWorld carrier).

Went through with dummy booking and got to the end before it said No Go will ring and ask some questions

Ended up cancelling Still, first world problems and 235k points coming back to my account. R.I.P MASA's
