Thanks for all the advice. Really appreciate it and lots to think about I am leaning towards this option given the advice that Y availability is generally good this far out. That way I only need to pay 5k change fee once if any J availability comes up throughout the year during the big...

My gf is running in the Chicago Marathon on the 12th Oct 25 and looking to secure some reward fights to get there on the 9th Oct. There is a direct QFF flight available to LAX in economy (QF93) arriving at 6am or 7am (Weird that AA shows the flight arriving at 7am while Qantas shows 6am). The...

The DOB was missing so I have updated that. Thanks for the warning.

Lucky you!! Would have loved that to happen to me but the points have now been deducted. I didn't notice it there originally but just checked it again and it is showing. Looks like the Qantas agent was correct and the issue has now been resolved. Have had so much misinformation from them in...

Thanks serfty. Checked the Finnair website and it can't find the booking. The booking shows up on BA, MA and RJ though. I think I might need to call up and request the Latam booking reference number so I can go on the Latam app to confirm if there is a ticket number associated with the booking...

I have made a business class booking on QFF for Latam flight LA805 SCL to MEL direct. The booking issued a error message at the end quoting a booking reference number and that I needed to call up to complete the booking. Rang the call centre and was diverted to the Fiji team. The operator has...

Thanks for the great feedback on the IC Jimbaran. I will email them and see what they can offer for a room that gets automatically upgraded to Club Lounge access.

Been to Bangkok before but haven't stayed there so will check it out next time. Prefer to avoid it during the muggy season though. Considering going to Beijing or Sanur/Jimbaran IC as they have availability or still go to Vietnam and stay at a different IC

I noticed that hotel when looking for alternatives. It's available for the weekend night certificate and looks like a cool experience. Seems a bit far from the action though so might be a waste of two days just to make use of the certificate but it's in my list of potential options

Trying to use my ambassador free weekend night certificate at the Intercontinental Da Nang but they don't release any availability for this booking type unless it is last minute. Planning go away somewhere warm in Asia during the dates 16 May to 22 May for my gf's birthday. Looking for...

Thanks for all the advice. I won't bother signing up to the flight alert tools and have booked the economy flight just so we can get there. Will keep an eye out for one J ticket being released but not holding my breath.

Thanks for pointing that out as I was unaware of this. In that case I should definitely book the economy seats getting into Hamburg the day before and cross my fingers that one J flight comes up last minute that she can use. Had a look and there seems to be J flights from DOH to different...

Hi I am a new to the Velocity program and trying to determine if it is worthwhile joining one of those flight alert websites for the flights I need. My gf has just managed to get a spot in the Berlin Marathon and needs to get into Berlin by the 27th Sep. Need to find a J class flight for her...

I assume we would be entitled to the credit as that was what FC offered me so it must be offered to anyone with an Etihad flight. Here are the details of the offer so it isn't much for us https://www.etihad.com/en/manage/request-a-refund/credit-plus-miles/non-eyg-member-enrol I can't see how...

I contacted Flight Centre to request that the flight dates be moved to similar dates next year. Below is the response I received. Looks like there is no chance of being able to move it to next year without paying the fare difference which would totally kill the deal. Think the only way I am...

Just received an email from Etihad titled "Your Etihad Airways flight has been changed". Luckily it was only related to one of the legs leaving 5 mins earlier. Almost had a heart attack opening that email.

Do you know how long it took the airline to cancel the flights in this case? Definitely is a bit of a catch 22 situation so think best bet will be to book the fully refundable flights / hotels to surrounding countries and hope for the best. I agree that the taxes argument would not work...

Thanks MEL_Traveller for the explanation. It makes sense but not sure I have the guts to do that. Think I would rather keep my head down and hope nothing happens. If it does, I can try to argue that I didn't call them as I assumed it was a normal fare that I found on Skyscanner. All the taxes on...

You are obviously very experienced with flying and ticketing so I believe you know what you are talking about. Trying to understand your rationale behind calling the airline directly to get confirmation they will accept the tickets. I would assume a call centre employee would not know what the...

I booked through Flight Centre as well. I think the reason why the BYOJet bookings were cancelled was due to them never being fully confirmed with an eticket issued. From what I have read so far, they are the only company to have cancelled the flight while the rest of us have our tickets issued...
