    Ah that would be where I got myself tied up - I forgot that the structure was different for premium cabins and economy cabins

    Qantas SCs with Cathay Business Light

    Business Light, Standard and Flex are internal for CX bookings. You can get these 3 options if I recall with all booking classes. Currently any CX revenue business fare (JCDPI) will earn as per business regardless of the name its presented as.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Remember that just because it is I9 it doesn’t mean it will be released. In terms of yield management, it could be a thin leisure route where they potentially would mostly sell only D/I fares instead of J/C fares. So even if there are a fewer number of business seats, there may still be more...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    as I've played this game a little more, I think releasing U on 333/332 flights are generally harder than 789/388 flights due to less business class seats the issue is even if it is I7, there isn't much visibility around total loadings. I've taken the rare extra step now for 333/332 flights to...

    How to change my ex-CAI RTW ticket to a JL flight?

    no, your departure point is Cairo, so it would make sense that would be POS. It would be very similar to me being in NZ, but asking a travel agent to get me a SYD-AKL fare, but cost/availability etc will be based on ex-SYD availability JL do operate fairly rigid POS inventory restrictions. I...

    Amex Platinum NZ - not showing on website

    I have read on social media that amex NZ was reviewing their platinum card offering in NZ. It's hard to know if it will return at this stage, judge like how the edge disappeared a few years back

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I mean at the end of the day, the bot’s decision to release X/Z/U/P is likely based on a series of complex algorithm’s and predictions based on a route’s historical sales data. Hence why some months it may be easier than other months to get classic rewards released. I believe there are also...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    The simple answer is that there are very few options. If QF11 is cancelled around departure time, I think the only real option is QF73 To SFO or if you are really lucky time wise, you could possible get to BNE to catch the 15 or MEL to catch the 95, both which depart around 2100 - 2200 ish If...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    I guess there would have been a spare? The 9/5 QF11 (VH-OQD) turned around and operated QF94 yesterday evening if anything, there is an extra 787-9 lying around. QF17 landed this morning which was a 787-9 (VH-ZNC). There was the original 380 which sounds bung (VH-OQH) and the QF11/12 today...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    I tried to get rebooked on the F lounge when I got in from JFK around 1930, but they sent me outside to ticketing which fortunately wasn't too busy yet. I know something was fishy as I was monitoring a J to F upgrade and about 60 hours ish out it went from F2A2J9D9 and economy down to N or...
