So after spending a fair bit of time on these forums learning and taking on the wisdom that others have passed around, I decided to go and do a status run next week to Gold!
Have a JASA CBR-BNE-TSV-BNE-CBR booked (cash and points - $300 + 36,000, for a total of 200 SCs) and a MEL-CBR-MEL in Y.
Just thought I'd say thanks for the inspiration! Might do a trip report after
I do have a few questions though...the CBR-BNE-TSV trip at the moment departs CBR at 1:15pm, touches down at BNE at 3:00pm, before I jump on the next flight at 4:55pm to TSV. I get to CBR at 9:30am.
I'm thinking of changing to an earlier flight - probably QF952 leaving at 11:05pm then taking the 1:55pm QF974 to TSV but doesn't seem to be available at the same price bracket when I change online. Looking at ExpertFlyer, I can see that there is 6 pax availablility for U for CBR to BNE, but no U for BNE to TSV (but J9).
Does anyone know whether Qantas will release more U availablity closer to the date OR if I fly the earlier CBR-BNE, is there any chance of moving to an earlier flight if I ask at the J Lounge in CBR? (also, would changing flights there affect status credits and points?).
The other question I had was...what is the J experience like on a 737-400? Reading around, I know they're just converted Y seats!...is the meal/service J? and what sort of offerings would I expect?
Thanks
