Hi All,

Have generally used points for upgrades, and have finally decided it’s time to do our very first serious points burn on a J trip, for me and the other half, to Tokyo for a serious week of food, sake, and sightseeing.

I have half a million points, I am WP, she is not a QFF member. We need to travel in 9 months for various reasons, so its far too late to jag 2 x J redemptions ex Syd or Mel, direct on QF metal. I will not requalify WP at end of this year, drop back to SG, so I want to treat other half to OW first lounges etc.

Don’t mind CX via HKG, but not sure how such redemption bookings are done.

Do I simply try booking a multi-city redemption on QF website, SYD HKG NRT return, an CX options will show up?

And for anyone who knows the ins and outs of QFAmex $400 annual travel credit, can this booking be done via Amex site to appky the credit to taxes/booking charges?

Thanks
Eddie

No - The Amex travel credit can be used for revenue fares, nor awards.

Read the post and you will see.

Can't book anything direct to Hong Kong (either to or from) after the 18th of June.

If you say so.

I've booked HKG-HND and HKG-JFK using QFF for July 2019 within the past 24 hours, so quite frankly I cannot understand what the purported problem is.
 
Hi All,

We need to travel in 9 months for various reasons, so its far too late to jag 2 x J redemptions ex Syd or Mel, direct on QF metal.

Did you look? I looked at 3 random dates in April/May and all had availability for 2 on either QF or JL. If you are WP you can also call to get seats released.
 
Is this lack of availability also relevant to japan as well?
For CX, yes, has been.

Things have been changing, slowly though.

Definitely not back to normal despite what some members may be aggressively suggesting (that post now edited by a moderator). The posted thread has some good information about how the situation has been unfolding. It discusses multiple CX flights, despite the thread title.
 
If you look at Australia to Japan you will find availability on CX. But if you do a multi city search and do Australia - Hong Kong - Japan you will not find availability.
