And also costs more points to book separately :(

Great explanation - thanks!! Finally got caught by this issue trying to book a ASIA-AUS reward seat and then a domestic connecting flight the next day, which the multi-city engine happy displays and provides pricing, but then errors and fails when going to the payment page. Contacting the call...

It is 2024... you would think the technology would allow moving beyond archaic ticketing rules and support name corrections at no cost regardless of which airline/partner is part of of the itinerary.

I don't believe the system will stop you from booking a second ticket under the same name. Perhaps it may not ticket correctly, but in that case, you would still be holding the reward seat and then can escalate to the new Qantas email address to get it ticketed.

Yes and no, sometime the IBE just doesn't allow the combination you are seeking. The bigger bug bear for me is you cannot purchase both rewards and paid tickets in the same booking; it can only be done via seperate booking which can cause big issues for families if flights change or are...

From the Australian, Qantas has revealed there is a new option to spend points is coming that will be seperate to the current Classic Rewards. Qantas has revealed it is preparing to release a new “flight reward product” to overcome the problem of frequent flyers being unable to redeem their...

Also noticed recently Stomping Ground brewery has been added in Mel T3, with the $36 spend allowance.

Yep, have found the same even locally. The House is a great option in Melbourne compared to QF Pub (for those with first lounge access).

My guess would be 33- 34”

I’d be surprised if the changes weren’t somewhat positive given Qantas have openly reported on multiple occasions they are well aware of the negative customer sentiment given performance and service quality. Revenue based points earning could be a possibility given how other programs have...

As a gold, it seems rows 5-8 are blocked completely. Row 9 AC chargeable along with rows 4 & 12. Once logged out as NB it seeks you can only select from Row 17, aside from the chargeable seats. Splitting the difference, Silver can probably select from Row 13. I’d be surprised if 5-8 AC remain...

Typical… finished booking a double leg domestic business reward flight about a minute before this offer pops up in the app!! 😂 Could cancel and rebook but then again no guarantee the reward seats go back into inventory.

Used mine earlier this month and thankfully the credit applied automatically within a couple of days.

I would hope they do a international fit out with the extras, if they are forgoing them on the domestic fitted planes.

Looks like HSBC Australia is nested within their Asia group and legal structure, within the HSBC Asia Holdings Ltd entity, which is registered in Hong Kong. The diagram also doesn't show HSBC Australia to be ring-fenced, but I would expect there to be pretty tough requirements in-place to...

Seems clear they are looking to further monetise the QF Club lounges, beyond all the single access passes they have. As long as they maintain/improve the benefits for the full paid annual membership, the new basis membership isn't that different to the basic membership you can get via Points...

They are growing with new properties and takeover of existing properties though. https://press.accor.com/accor-accelerates-in-japan-with-agreement-to-operate-23-properties/?lang=en

Most of VA's partners open up seats prior to the 330 days our where you can see them on the VA site. I'm guessing the few premium seats released are well gone by the time they open up for as VA reward seats, unfortunately. It's a real downside of VA's booking system.

Benefit should be based on the status at the time of stay not the time of booking. You may wish to contact the hotel to ensure they have the new ambassador status attached to the booking.
