I'll just flag I'm a WP, not P1. But I would think it comes down to who has paid the most for their seat, and possibly the time the seat was booked - although I might hope to outrank a SG passenger who also booked a classic flight reward even if they booked a couple of months prior, I assume...
I would think most likely because of sick leave given the late notice. Equally, it could be they were routed to SYD for really any reason and had to get home following their shift.
Perhaps if I hadn't checked in online, someone would have actually told me I was being downgraded before I opened my boarding pass 5 minutes before reaching the gate. The lack of communication is probably the most frustrating thing. That would also have given me the opportunity to pick a more...
The other aspect here is that it is one thing to say I "could" use them in higher value activities and it is another thing to actually be able to use them for that.
High value redemptions I am interested in, such as flights to Europe, are simply not available at the dates I wish to fly. I have...
Not sure if this qualifies as 'discussion' (for which I can't find a dedicated thread) or permissible here.
Best status run booking I have achieved is with points club award bookings at $2.05/SC based on my own formula (currently 0.375c/pt, i.e. what I can obtain them for - for example, 80,000...
I (WP) am currently at the gate in SYD for my flight to ADL which is boarding.
I booked a U reward flight (J) via call centre with seats released about a fortnight ago. I had my email confirmation of J seats and yesterday I had another email also stating J.
Now I open up my boarding pass on the...
As far as I can tell the issue is travelling between two international hubs within Australia. I.e. ASP-SYD-AKL would be fine but MEL-SYD-AKL would not.
This also applies on the return journey.
If you can get a routing for it as a single flight that may be OK - but I'm not sure. As in...
Am I imagining things or have the Flex Y fare rules become more restrictive lately?
$99 cancellation fee, or flight credit allowed but has to be used within a year of the original booking date?
Was under the impression Flex Y allowed cancellation without penalty.
International Flex Y I...
Not a new complaint at the moment I'm sure but I'm having some issues booking a flight and wondered if anyone has any bright ideas.
I'm currently booking a flight to the UK from Adelaide for 2-14 Jan. Despite being WP there are of course no classic reward seats available for release and since I...
My points posted a couple of days ago from the October sign-up.
No sign of the SCs.
I gather from the previous occasion people had success with cancelling prior to the SCs posting...
