Well I'm having exactly the same issue with the Qanats site - trying to book WLG-Syd-HND and NRT-BNE-Wlg - all Qantas metal - I can book with a NZ travel agent but not qantas itself - its bizarre

No worries about free anything - we've saved a lot of cash for a few points using WJ - plus their generous carry on limit means hopefully I won't need to check anything !

That's good to know - that's what I had to do last year with a similar issue on flights booked on Alaska Air - just wondered if I was missing something obvious - apparently not

I have a couple of domestic Canadian flights coming up on Westjet booked on Qantas points. I was going to download the westjet app to manage luggage, seats etc but they won't' accept the Qantas 6 digit booking reference - they want one that is all letters. How do I get that? Can't see the...

Its not so much about the cash price (US$560 1st/US$279 economy plus luggage) - its more about that if I book with points I can cancel and only lose 6000 points per person. I'd like to book because I'd need to fly mid July - peak season - but I want it refundable because it won't be clear for...

I'm looking at booking an Alaskan Airlines flight HNL-SFO - the classic award option available on the day I want is First - which is fine by me - but when I hover over that option it notes that the flight will be in "business" However Alaskan 737-900 only has First Class, Premium Economy and...

That's interesting because I just heard on the news (In NZ ) that there were seats available for kiwis to get home within the 7 days - and if they sold out airnz would add more capacity

They clearly state (well at least when booking flight to Oz ex NZ) that flights are NOT refundable unless you buy and expensive fuly refundable ticket. If you cancel for any reason (or they do) up until 31 December ( at the moment it was 31 Jul y a few months ago) you get a credit to use...

I must say I've stopped using booking.com for anything except finding hotels - I then contact them direct. Air NZ have always been coughs - unfortunately because we want to fly direct to Cairns (again for obvious reasons) we have no choice on carrier

Kiwi here trying to get to Cairns/ Port Douglas for some sun! Just had to move flights from August to October because of the travel bubble pause. The rental car (which was very hard to secure back in May) was easy to transfer to October. Port Douglas accommodation is as difficult in the...
