Where did you book the first flight? If you contact them they can put the second flight into the same PNR, which would help give you protection

A Virtuoso agent will be able to issue in USD as they have access to a US point of sale ticketing centre.

It is super easy to put QF and EK together in the GDS. Would have had it done and priced in less time that its taken to read the first page of this thread! Happy to help if you PM me your details.

A fascinating evolution. The multitude of distribution outlets makes it harder (people don't just search on the airlines website) but I'm sure we will start the see differential pricing based on profiles in the future.

Not aware of an ATC channel - perhaps you're thinking of when they tuned in ABC radio to one of the channels ?

Is everyone in the same booking? If you are all together in one booking, then your status should apply to everyone else and they should get free seating too. I've not heard of a case where they have differentiated between status within the same booking.

There is still a limit on the Centurion. While they don't necessarily tell you what your limit is, it's no different to the Platinum Charge in that the limit is a function of your spending and repayment history.

I agree that 2hrs on separate tickets is not advisable. Why not go via ADL and put the domestic flight with VA on the same ticket as SQ? It will be cheaper than buying it separately (and certainly cheaper than overnighting in SYD) and you're protected for any delays. Not that you'll likely need...

I noticed when doing a HKG redemption this week that the points required for CX were higher than they were for QF. Taxes lower, but points higher. I hadn't done a redemption on a partner airline for a while so hadn't realised!

TAs can do it as we can easily segment associate the FF number. But I don't think the online airline systems are as flexible. So it can definitely be done you just may need to call. Boarding passes will get issued for both in CPT and bags will be checked all the way through.

Yep. $300 penalty to cancel and get a refund. $200 penalty to change.

Yes, you can. They may try and have you keep it in credit, but you can still get a refund.

It depends in whether 9 hours is the shortest connection that could have been chosen. If there is an earlier flight that you could have taken, then no hotel will be provided. If their schedule is such that you're on the best connection, then it's possible.

It could be the airline sending it? Have you been into the Manage My Booking online recently? Which airline is it?

You can also do QF codeshares on EK ex Egypt for around $3200 in Business, return.

Re: Upgrade chances next Friday, QF9 MEL-LHR Currently the availability is F9 A9 J8 C8 DL IL W6 R6 TL Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 It's hard to tell from that what the upgrade chances are this far out. But looking at that you can say that it isn't likely that you'd get a cheap commercial Business...

I got one today offering 30℅, with no specific threshold, unlike the recent one where you had to transfer 1,000,000 or more to get the 30℅. Have to admit I thought the same as you... I didn't transfer any on either occasion. Already have too many points in QF that are hard to use, unless I...

Yes, she is correct. The fare difference is always calculated off the base fare, not total of the base fare and the taxes. When it comes to the taxes, you have to also pay for any new taxes that weren't on the old ticket. Some airlines will refund you taxes that are no longer being used, other...

I have had a time change on my AA Trans Pacific flight next August. But still (currently) operating!

BA is amazing in charging so much for seating for non status pax - and I agree that their configuration is such that you definitely want to have a choice. But they've been doing it for years and getting away with it! Not uncommon for a seat selection fee to be non-refundable - QF is the same.
