    Time shifting Alan Joyce does it again - I leave Sydney before I arrive there

    I worked up the courage to click on the "change booking" button and this is what I get - a permanent error message - no matter how many times I log in and try... Looks like the system is designed to force you to either cancel the booking or ring the call centre :(

    Time shifting Alan Joyce does it again - I leave Sydney before I arrive there

    Just to clarify. My current flight LHR to Toowoomba is on Qantas metal on one booking. Booked through Qantas website. The other booking via HKG that I gave up on and had to cancel was booked through Qantas website - but on CX metal. I thought I would have better luck flying Qantas - the spirit...

    Time shifting Alan Joyce does it again - I leave Sydney before I arrive there

    You will all be excited at this new "enhancement" from Qantas - London to Toowoomba via Sydney in 12 hours and 45 minutes only - on classic rewards Y class! Unfortunately, I have to leave Sydney the day before I arrive there. This is obviously a special reward for me after his last effort...

    Qantas reward flights with CX changed so we depart Hong Kong before we arrive there

    Follow up... I rang Qantas again last Wednesday 18th and spent over an hour on the phone to an agent. My hearing is not that good nowadays, but I am certain I was told that Qantas would make a change to the booking and that I would get an email confirming that. Here we are nearly a week later...

    Qantas reward flights with CX changed so we depart Hong Kong before we arrive there

    Thanks for all the replies... I managed to contact a call centre. They couldn't help - except to offer "an alternative" - which was to cancel the ticket. I asked to be rung back by a supervisor and this actually happened last Friday. He couldn't understand the problem at first - obviously Alan...

    Qantas reward flights with CX changed so we depart Hong Kong before we arrive there

    Just got an email from Qantas advising me that the second leg of our flight LHR-HKG-BNE has been moved to before the first leg. It is one booking. Any suggestions as to the best way to get this fixed without having to spend multiple hours on hold to a CC? Thanks in advance

    Chance of QF upgrades or spare seats to lie on BNE LHR BNE in Sept

    Chance of QF upgrades or spare seats to lie on BNE LHR BNE in Sept

    Greetings all, it has been quite a while since I posted or met up with any of you good people. My business reasons for flights disappeared a few years ago. However, my wife and I will soon be grandparents in Sept, so we are off to the UK to meet grandchild #1. I still have about 530000 QF...

    RTW out of Africa

    Thanks for the replies and the link - very useful. I see on the Fares Comparison map that Accra in Ghana is meant to be $7100. I had a quote from an agent in Accra that was $17000 - so perhaps they quoted for separate flights rather than RTW - I will have to recheck. I tried using the OneWorld...
