    I have a booking where I fly to Adelaide from Sydney on Nov 30 to catch a CX flight to Hong Kong on Dec 1 with 20h 40m between flights and that is counted as a transit. I will be leaving the airport to stay in Adelaide city overnight. I would argue the point. Not your fault Sydney has more than...

    Thanks. That works perfectly for me. It's going to be a long trip and some access to our bags will make life a bit easier.

    We are booked on a Oneworld Reward flight where we are flying from Sydney to Adelaide and then have a 20 hour transit and then pickup a CX flight to Hong Kong and on to Rome. Does anyone know if Qantas will check the bags through to Rome or will we need to pick them up in Adelaide and then...

    The original call where he stuffed up? How would I do that as I didn't know it was possible.

    Dealing with Qantas has to be the most frustrating experience I have ever had. I contacted Qantas via chat last night to check on the cost of the taxes on my flights that I had completed booking in January as something seemed amiss. I was informed that he couldn’t help and he gave me the link...

    I could see these using the QF on-line search on Sunday but they are not there any more. If I search for flights to Dublin they all show up again with a transit through London which of cause won't work. I assume that if Ican't see them the booking agents won't be able to book them? I guess I...

    Yesterday when I checked flights from AMS to London (various airports) there were 10 or 11 flights all with seats in both classes on Dec 27. I didn't have the time to call and book yesterday so I was going to wait till Fri. Checking again tonight and there is only 1 flight via Dublin on Dec 16...

    Thanks for the advice. I thought it would be the best option. I might leave it till I have a few hours to spare just in case. So I just tell them I want to wait on the line till they complete the ticketing? Do they ever argue that it isn't necessary?

    After a little advice. We have our trip fully booked and ticketed to fly into Rome and back home from Madrid. We were originally intending to travel from Amsterdam to London by train however looking at the cost it would be much better to fly. I have tested out the trip (using different dates)...

    I jumped in and booked my CX flights and then later called to add my other flights. Thanks to the warning about the CX flights I was watching and when they disappeared the next morning I was straight on the phone. I mentioned to them that I had asked the previous agent to make sure the CX...

    Thanks to whom ever it was that gave the warning about CX. All good when I went to bed and 6 hours later all CX flights were gone. Quick call to sort it out and got answered by an SA agent. To his credit he wouldn't let me go till he had the flights restored (same seats still available...

    All done. Called back and got someone from Auckland and they had no problems seeing the IB flights an hour later. Must be a SA problem only lol. Thanks everyone for the advice and guidance. I may be able to sleep tonight lol.

    How frustrating is this process!! Just called attempting to complete my booking only to be told she couldn't see the flight I was looking at and that she didn't have access to book Iberia flights and the only way she could see to get us from London to Porto involved 5 flights via Madrid and then...

    I have wondered if it is QF not making them available to the search engine.
