Thanks, I’ll have a read and send them some info. No chance of moving to Australia…her husband is a kiwi and they own a dairy farm there.

Can anyone direct me to a basic guide about AirPoints? My sister lives in NZ and says they put $100K annually through their CC earning airpoints but they only have $2k aipoints which doesn’t seem right to me. Maybe it’s the conversion rate on their CC? I think she’s shirty that I’m flying to...

Ahh could have been AKL although he didn’t sound like a kiwi. I just assumed it was HBA as it was answered with Qantas VIP line (or something like that). Was 5am MEL time.

When i landed at Kiruna it was -27c! Feeling the hair in your nostrils is a strange sensation 😅 everyone was getting photos of the temperature display after getting off the plane. Hopefully you’ll get a good display of the northern lights 🤞

Success! I rang yesterday as i hadn’t heard anything. Offered the QF flight again but told i would need to pay the taxes and charges. Told them again that i wasn’t paying due to the involuntary change. The agent said JAL hadn’t responded yet and they would put through another request for me. I...

The agent put me on hold but I don’t think she contacted JAL on the internal line. She said she has put a request through to them however. If i get no result from that i will suggest the one world rebooking desk and/or use the escalation email address. Good point also about persisting that it...

Talk about getting the run about. Call 2 to Qantas - says if i get qantas to change the flight to the QF HND-SYD-MEL i have to pay the additional taxes, but if JL change it I won’t have to. Advised to call JL. I asked about the JL flight from HND to SYD but qantas can’t (won’t) book me on it...

It was just under 4.5hours No option in manage my booking on the qantas website. I think I got lucky as there was a CR award available from HND - SYD on the date I needed with QF. When i rang I was initially told that there wasn't anything available (I suspect she was only looking at JL...

Ok, it looks like they can rebook me CDG-HND-SYD-MEL with HND-SYD-MEL on QF (orginal itinerary was all JL). I'm being asked to pay an extra 120Euro in taxes - is there any way around this?

Yes, on the one PNR

I have a classic reward CDG-HND NRT-MEL for the 22nd July. CDG-HND in F and NRT-MEL in J. I have just received notification from qantas that the CDG-HND schedule has changed and there is only an hour between flights now which is obviously impossible. The email says ‘if you have booked directly...

Sorry, combine was probably a bad choice of word. Ideally wanting to cancel one PNR and then get flights added to the other one. I

It’s still doable, but for my own piece of mind i would prefer a longer connection.

I must have gotten lucky in July when I cancelled a reward booking then as my points were back instantly (although this was less than 24hours after booking it) Which is why I thought I would be able to cancel the CDG flights and the rebook the other flights and get them to add it to my existing...

Lowly bronze here. Didn’t get HBA…maybe was South Africa. Have found another option, which I posted about in the OWA thread as I think it qualifies (current booking has a F leg so not doing OWA), so hoping for some feedback about that possibility instead.
