Thanks Captain Halliday. I did put the itinerary into ITA and it seems the Qantas multicity booking site had an incorrect figure for Carrier Charges for the two AY flights, MAD-HEL-KIX. It was showing Carrier Charges as 125 Euro, while ITA is showing it as 219 Euro. Qantas have charged me the...

I am planning an itinerary for next year for my wife and I in Business. I began booking flights a couple of weeks ago with: BNE-HKG(S)-HEL-GVA(S,surface). This was one CX & two AY flights. The fees & taxes came to $366.11 each. Yesterday, I added MAD-HEL-KIX (two AY flights). This involved a...

I need to cancel some sectors of a multi-sector One-world booking. Can I do that on-line or do I need to ring the call centre? Also, is the call centre as bad as it was last year? I haven't rung them for a while and I have some very bad memories of the experience.

FYI: I'm sure I have a Qantas Travel Credit of $450 but I can't see any record of it on the Amex site. Are we both looking in the wrong place? Can someone please check if you can still hover your mouse over the Travel Credit to view the expiry date and Terms and Conditions. I just can't find a...

Are you staying in Taipei for more than 24 hrs? A couple of weeks ago when I was trying to book BNE->LHR with China Airlines, it wouldn't work unless I had a stopover in Taipei.

Yes. I have managed to book FCO to TPE to BNE using Qantas Points and the Multi-city tool this morning. I was also having the problem you are having. It would not allow me to complete the booking. However, I got around this problem by extending my stopover in TPE to over 24 hrs. It works fine...

Thanks for the advice. I'll plan an alternative stategy (I think I have just found one).

Thanks for the warning MEL_Traveller, and for the other replies. It's a shame it is not a safe option to skip the BNE-AKL leg because the points required to fly TPE-BNE-ALK versus TPE-BNE are identical and the fees are very similar. Do you think it would be a similar situation to not taking the...

China Airlines' flight from TPE to AKL has a stop in BNE. There is good award seat availability in J with Qantas points in July 2024 for TPE to AKL but not for TPE to BNE (i.e. the same flight). I'm assuming this is a married segments issue. I'm after 2 seats in J from TPE to BNE. Does anyone...

I am looking to book two business class China Airlines flights from Europe to Brisbane in mid-July next year after succesfully booking flights to Europe in mid June. Availability was looking good but July 2024 availability on China Airlines is thinning out considerably. TPE-BNE J availability...

I have booked a Business Class itinerary that has a 70 minute transfer time at Helsinki Airport: Japan Airlines Flight JL47: Depart Tokyo Haneda 10:40am Arrive Helsinki 2:55pm Transit time in Helsinki: 1h10m Finnair Flight AY993: Depart Helsinki 4:05pm Arrive Reykjavik (Keflavik) 4:55pm I know...

It didn't mention a time limit. In practice, they don't really need this info until you have spent $4,000 so maybe it is not required up-front.

It took one day. I had to upload my bank details (where my pay is deposited) to prove my income and it was approved without any phone calls from HSBC. 1668896906 No it doesn't.

I was approved for this card yesterday, and today I was given my Star Alliance Rewards ID number and was invited to complete my registration. This process involved choosing which airline I want Gold Status, but I did not have to choose which airline I want my points transferred to each month. It...

The application page for the Qantas Premium Platinum card doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Has anyone else had problems?
