I had a route being axed by AA in late September. This resulted in a change of carrier AA to AS These flights were not waitlisted and I even after the change the tickets were not reissued. The seats will show confirmed when I called in and then be cancelled (usually after 3 days) as Qantas...

I'm just wondering around recent experiences to waitlisted flights clearing or not? I see most of Decembers flights being waitlist only, so wondering what the chances are of these being ticketed

Try going into your settings -> Mobile -> mobile plans -> and set voice and data to 5G on. Then toggle your phone to aeroplane mode and off aeroplane mode again. That should allow it to pickup 5G

For those expiring in July 2022 -> Jan 2023 would be the earliest

I'll like to know this one as well, there'll be a large number of expiring Krisflyer points over the next few months with the near two years of Covid related extensions plus scheduled expirations. I would think they'll need to provide a significant number of award redemptions to cater for this...

Just be careful with bookings beyond expiry. If you cancel the booking, the original points expiry is retained (and will expire). So I would only do so if you'll absolutely be travelling

My points are expiring soon, just wondering if someone can guide me to the cheapest redemption so that the rest of the miles are extended for 12 months more

I've been following QF for a long time, somehow their negative changes correlate to their detrimental financial results. Loyalty is hard earnt but easily broken.

I have booked a sale fare through Zuji flying Qantas on a sale fare. Due to date changes, I paid a change of fare from the sale fare to full economy (Y). I'm now looking at cancelling this booking, however Zuji is advising that my fare is not refundable. Whilst I am happy to "forfeit" the...

Whilst this will be of no benefit to myself, this is a good initiative for Qantas. I also note that the Ambassador program is tax deductible ;)

Whilst I'm not a WP1 (only approximately 3000sc this year - all economy unfortunately), I too have moved over to Virgin for the next two months to see the other side. I definitely prefer the Virgin 3A seating over the 4A. Also, in four flights, I've been lucky to have been upgraded twice! My...

I wouldn't call any of this "rorting" the system. The offer from Qantas is part of its compensation to passengers. Qantas has disrupted the travel plans of it's customer to benefit it's own actions for the industrial dispute, I don't side with either Qantas or the Unions - both have penalised...

Qantas revamps frequent flyer program with new VIP tier Mr Joyce said he was unconcerned with Virgin Australia's plans to poach corporate travellers from Qantas. "We don't have to cling on to the business market," he said. "The business market is very happy to stay with Qantas." The...
