I was definitely able to select seats on the WY website for my bookings once I found my Oman PNR on MH. Seat selection is a bit hidden though. Under Passenger Details is a dropdown for "Extras" which opens a more interactive MMB page, including seat selection option. This is for J though...

I have used the QF feedback form a couple of times for compliments for exceptionally good crew. The response has always seemed a bit automated and formulaic, so it's good to hear that compliments do actually work their way through the system to the staff member and their boss. One of my more...

Terrific TR! Well written and excellent level of detail. Thanks for taking the time. I know from experience, it's not a trivial undertaking. Some of the airlines, lounges and sectors reminded me of my own "once in a lifetime" RTW folly last year. Sadly JL F didn't feature in mine so it might...

Thanks for sharing this trip RB. It was a really enjoyable read and some terrific photos. Leh (and surrounds) has been on my bucket list for a long time. In part because of the Himalayan scenery, in part for the intersection of cultures and in part as an avid fan of Salman Rushdie's novels, a...

I second Seat0B's endorsement of Kanazawa. Despite having lived in Japan earlier this century, I visited Kanazawa for the first time earlier this year. The cherry blossoms were out which added to the appeal of the city. The seafood and produce market is terrific (Omicho). The castle grounds have...

I found my WY PNR via MH. Though I just tried to pull it up again and discovered a quirk: it doesn't appear on the desktop site but is there on the mobile site. So try plugging your reservation details into MH on your phone and you should see the WY/Sabre PNR.

I emailed the escalation team and got a response about two days later to say that because the MNL office had to ticket these flights, they required an extra PHP1620 (~$40) in taxes apparently. I was told if I elect to pay in AUD instead that extra tax wouldn’t apply. Weird. So like vmile’s...

Nope. No e ticket # yet on RJ, MH or WY. I’m curious to see how long it takes QF and whether WY has a short ticketing window like some partners or is more lenient. I’ll lean on the escalations inbox in a few days if need be

Yep. Entered APIS soon after booking. And was able to retrieve WY PNR via entering the QF one into MH MMB (acronym overload!!). So there is a reservation in Oman’s system which is useful for keeping an eye on to see if it drops due to ticketing delays. Maybe QF warned them as a new partner...

Has anyone booked WY classic rewards and had it ticketed? I made bookings approximately 24h ago and no sign of tickets yet, though the bookings have held so far. In contrast, I booked one of our WY legs with AC points and the ticket (014 stock) was in my inbox immediately. Sigh. Why is QF...

I suspect so!! Compounded by a regular return search only showing Y by default

False alarm. It was the QF website being temperamental. Multi city searches weren't showing the flights I saw the other day. However, plugging return dates into the front page booking engine still brings up results, but on the results page there's a new (to me anyway) drop down menu which...

I'm happy to concede that despite my scepticism when group boarding was first floated here, that it generally seems to have been implemented fairly well for domestic flights, albeit with room for improvement at some gates where monitors, signage or PA announcements are hard to observe. However...

Either a lot of WY award inventory has been snapped up in the past week, or the QF website is struggling a bit. I've been keen to go to Oman for ages and spotted heaps of availability ex MNL next April (where I already had some flights ex SYD bookended with view to buying a cheap cash fare to...

Final update on my VA replacement flight post-REX grounding. Not only did VA put me on a flight at the same time as the original, in J as per original booking, I also just saw that 55 SCs landed in my Velocity account and roughly 4000 miles. I wasn't expecting that!

I just got an emailed e-ticket from VA with my replacement REX flight. Exact same time and date as the REX original and business class was honoured too. Thanks VA! It took them longer than the stated 72 hours to turn around the web form request, but travel is still a week away and just SYD-MEL...

I submitted the re-accommodation form to VA this morning for a cancelled ZL SYD-MEL J flight in a couple of weeks. We'll see what comes of it. I picked VA instead of QF's lifeline because Virgin's T&Cs specifically mentioned attempting to accommodate J pax in J and they offered a simple online...

I'm likely to have a fairly sizeable ATO bill this year, so it would be a good chance to earn a QFF or Velocity signup bonus in a single transaction ... if there were any cards that still allow it. I have looked at the usual suspects that I could churn but all seem to exclude Government-related...

MEL-SYD Friday evening. Departure delayed about 45 minutes. I diligently went to the gate when the app flashed up with “boarding” and joined the other gate lice while pilots were delayed coming from another flight. (Aside, I feel like I see more of this kind of crew-schedule related delay on VA...

The same order-taking sequence happened to me last month. Similarly I was in row 1 on an J fare and the only assigned J seat at about T-12 hours. Ideally Rex CMs should have on their manifest who the actual paid J pax are. They will soon also need to deal with the “complication” of status soon...
