I'm booking 4 classic reward business class seats on QF33 SYD-KIX for the family (2 adults, 2 kids -aged 7 and 9) The seat configuration is 1-2-1. Does anyone have any advice on seat selection for a family of 4 travelling together? Would it be better for us to sit 4 in a row across the plane...

Thanks. That's really helpful information.

This may seem like a silly question, but if I book 2 classic reward seats in the same reservation, can I later cancel just one of the seats? Obviously paying the points to cancel.

Hi all I'll shortly be booking reward flights from Melbourne to New York (QF93 & QF11), but with a stop over for a few days in LA. I know QF11 can only be booked as part of a Qantas international flight. But I was wondering, can I book a QF93 as soon reward flights are released, and then add...

Just did a dummy classic awards booking for Melb - LAX (economy) for Aug 2013. Qantas want 96,000 + $822 in card charges (Fees, taxes etc). They have to be joking, I can buy a return fare on Virgin for $1076!! Even Qantas has fares for $1380 for those dates. Seems like Classic Awards are no...

No worries - not rude. :) It was a gift voucher. I read the same 'terms' as you and had to confirm with Qantas. We were able to use it for a childrens fares, which for international are 75% of the adult base fare. The wording is used basically to point out the vouchers can only be applied to...

We were able to apply a voucher to our daughter's child's fare to LA.

Thanks for the input guys. Took the plunge last night $2,007 return Leaving Oct returning Nov.

For some reason, the fares Melb - LAX in October are relatively high. I expected high fares in Sept for school holidays, but I guess Qantas expects lots of people to take US trips in Oct. We have booked a cruise so our travel dates are set. For the last few months QF website has been quoting...

Guess we'll just wait it out and hope for a better deal on the QF website.

Not sure if this promo was the best deal for us. We knew we were definatly booking MEL-LAX return flights for OCT / NOV, so we bought a $1000 voucher for the two of us. For some reason, the MEL-LAX fares for Oct are really high - $2250 (were $2800 last week). Went to the Travel Expo on the...

Thanks Markis10, I had not thought of the Any Seat option. 10 August will be too early, aiming for late Aug early Sept. Just couldn't work out why they are not releasing QF94 seats. Just have to keep checking back each day.

We have booked Award seats on QF93 Mel - LAX for August 2011, and I have been following the Qantas website each day to see the release of seats for the return leg LAX-MEL. Seems like there is very limited Award seat availability for August 2011 - and it doesn't seem that Qantas are releasing...
