Getting off topic for AU compensation The US govt link states Passenger "claim" or "accept alternative flight" is not written in the text. Can't see any airline refunding and then transporting a passenger for nothing. Especially if the delay is not in the airlines control.

So a Flying carpet ! But being serious prayer mats are important in some cultures.

From a FT thread QR interline bags QR to QR on separate PNR's. Was not able to find that info on the QR web site. But still a risk if an inexperienced checkin agent. Ask for a supervisor if needed and be at airport early (not be the last to check in for that flight)...

As you state "its all one PNR" the airline will (should) interline all checked bags. Bags will not need to process AU customs, even if you chose to leave the airside area (immigration, customs & biosecurity). If a non AU-NZ passport check the requirements for AU entry. Anyway if QF for...

How many seats and what class of travel?

I was in CHC ~6 hours ago. Screens showed EK412 departure 12:33 (am) which would be to avoid the SYD curfew. But without an aircraft very optimistic. QF's CHC BNE service was running late.

How long between the text message and you trying to change the flight online and by phone? A change fee and the $ difference between the flight you purchased and another flight are not the same thing. For a NZ domestic flight NZ$304 is a big change in cost. My view is Air NZ will pay you...

Can you provide evidence, that can be verified, that QF have veto powers in the oneworld alliance with respect to new members. Maybe get those who are "everyone" to provide credible verifiable evidence. Random posts on the internet are not evidence.

And with an infrequent flyer such shenanigans are enough, for some pax, to ensure would not select QF next time, even if QF are a few dollars less. At least got her seat back, but will be remembered for next time. As a guess the 2 elderly gents beside her are *not* with the dance groups-->...

For domestic travel in Australia that limits you to VA partners in Star Alliance:- SQ and UA and AC Check VA SQ~UA~ AC cross status benefits on both the VA website and the other airline web site. Status with other Star Alliance airlines will do nothing for AU domestic travel (on VA or QF)...

If looking at cash tickets look at *other* airlines. Not just QF or just Oneworld or just QF ff partners. From BNE and from Asia (all combinations) As you note poor CR availability and low upgrade chance on these routes. 2 pax for J award/upgrade makes it 3 times harder [or 4-5-6 times...
