Don’t think PayAll counts for the min spend?

I think a lot of the issue is the constant “phantom availability” problem. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern of what is and isn’t available (and each call centre seemingly uses a different system showing different things). Backend Amadeus doesn’t seem to show the actual required fare...

I suspect is a system issue and people are just making stuff up. An open classic award seat is a classic award seat. They’re all in the same fare category. I doubt there’s the capability in their systems to add the level of complexity alluded to.

I love how that’s just considered acceptable at qantas 🙄. I wish I could advertise something and, when someone attempts to purchase it, just say “oh no, that’s phantom - but I can sell you something for a lot more”

Which computers? And what is a “reset”?

Yep. If there’s a ticket number then you’re good. If it just says “confirmed” then it’s not… well, confirmed.

Just sent a referral your way :) Mine is Identity - pay.com.au or 5BF785 should anyone wish to do the same

India surprised me a bit. I was expecting it to be a little more tech savvy, but plenty of establishments (including hotels) didn’t accept international credit cards. They’ve got a QR Code based “PayTM” which seems to be all the go for locals (scan QR code, add amount, show vendor) but you need...

Possibly. Just interesting that three call centre staff and one at the reward ticketing escalations team said they’re available, just not for this booking 🤷🏾‍♀️

Yeah it was. I was getting as far as LIS (so with this JL sector) and then I ran out of flight segments so needed to do it on the phone. ORD is available, however the AA connections aren’t open for booking yet. The agent claims to have sent an email to “OneWorld” to ask them to release the...

Yep, thanks came out much less once it was all pieced together (about $1600). Only issue is that JL sector that’s been booked in Y+. Website still shows J available, agents are saying “J is available but not for a one world award”. Now it’s booked I tried HUACA and the latest agent says “it’s...

Annoyingly not. No availability showing in IB and even AT doesn't have any seats on the CMN direct (which would be helpful, as that's one of the later stops) Phone booking is going as expected :rolleyes:. One sector showing online as available but the agent can't see it. Also shows on BA. Agent...

Bit of a split. With the annoying 6 flight limit I can’t put it all together as one, but we’ll see what it comes out to when I book it over the phone. I can’t see it being any less than about $3000 though.

Just trying to work on another of these. I'm not entirely sure the value is there anymore with all these carrier charges! SYD-KUL (MH) is 1$50 KUL-NRT (JL) is $310 HND-JFK (JL) is $550 JFK-LHR-LIS (BA) is $1551! I'm not even half way through the ticket and it's up to $2500

Yeah they’re fine. Haven’t crossed a card that has an issue with them yet. PayPal via Post Bill Pay was working for a while, but apparently it is now shown as “government” by PayPal.

Amazing how certain “buzz words” will always work!

I guess they could launch off into a storm and crash, but then people here would complain that “never arriving inbound aircraft due 180 fatalities” wasn’t a valid reason for a delay.

Yep.

Yep. It’s a massively underserved market. Plenty of people trek via Singapore or the Middle East due to a lack of capacity.
