Hello everyone
Amateur at this and hoping to get some collective advice
My family and I are booked SYD-BNE-LAX on classic rewards tickets
When i booked the layover in BNE was 2.5hrs
Qantas emailed me regarding a schedule change and the SYD-BNE leg is now later leaving me only 1.5hrs layover.
With 2 young kids, i am concerned if the flight is delayed i will not have enough transit time in BNE.
I have asked to be rebooked on an earlier SYD-BNE flight but they refuse as they show no classic reward availability although I CAN see availabilty on the qantas site for earlier flights..Tried arguing with them, to no avail.
So...
I have rebooked a seperate classic reward flight 2 hrs earlier
Now i have 2 itineraries
1. SYD-BNE-LAX (with 1.5hr layover BNE)
2. SYD-BNE (my new booking with 3hr layover)
QUESTIONS :
Q. If I cancel the original SYD-BNE leg, will that cancel my BNE-LAX leg as it is on one itinerary?
Q. If I do cancel the original SYD-BNE leg, can I then combine the 2nd booking SYD-BNE with longer layover with the 1st BNE -LAX itinerary? For the purpose of checked through luggage and connection protection incase flights get cancelled
As mentioned, Im very amateur at this and hope to get some advice before I try calling Qantas call centre and wait hours only to be disconnected
THankyou all in advance
