Hi folks. So QF changed things on their reservation system over the weekend which partial broke the award search. We are now using a different source for QF award inventory and all the award data now shows again.
One change is that instead of showing a number for the award class inventory, you must now specify a Quantity in the search for how many award tickets you are looking for, and the results page will then display a Yes or No to indicate if that quantity of award class is available on that flight. Flight Alerts will continue to work as usual as they are already based on a quantity.

So does this mean that, whereas the old general availability would show, for example "J5, C5, D4, I4, U1", that U class won't show up now? Instead, you have to do a specific search for U class availability with the number of seats you are looking for?

Just curious as to whether you think QF made this change deliberately to make it harder for us to find award seats? Quick Q: I already have an alert to find 1x U availability on a QF flight Syd-Lhr...do I need to do anything to this alert (but I think not based on your post)?Hi folks.
