    J award disappeared after doing dummy booking

    On the flexi-calendar the award is still shown as being available (the red kangaroo sign appears on that date) but when I actually click on the date, it is no longer there. This particular award has been open for weeks so I will be highly angry if it gets truly snatched up in that 1 minute...

    J award disappeared after doing dummy booking

    It is an international, QF metal award with a short AA connecting flight onward which doesn't add any points cost to the total. There would not be a ref number as I hadn't booked it/not in my shopping basket.

    J award disappeared after doing dummy booking

    Attempted to do a dummy booking today to see whether it would work, it did. Then tried to start over (thereby undoing the booking) when it got to the payment page. When I did that, the refresh screen was white except for a message which said an error occurred. (I did not enter any credit card...

    Jetstar SYD-HNL "business" class

    Well there are no good value options and there are no redemptions to Hawaii.

    Jetstar SYD-HNL "business" class

    I am thinking about flying JQ from SYD-HNL as part of my next trip (one way). On the dates I plan on traveling (September), the fare is approximately $2000 + $200 for a Max bundle. Is it worth it knowing there is no flat bed? Should I wait for a cheaper fare ie a sale? Do you get two meals on...

    Meal Included on TSV – MEL JQ Flight?

    I have flown TSV-MEL on Jetstar before, at mealtime, and a meal was most definitely NOT included.

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    In the past the points returned instantly or at least within two days. Of late it took over a month for them to the refunded and I had to call their call centre four times.

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    So what's to do with 14 hours in Nadi? Hire a car and drive some of the Queens Road and stop at a beach? Any good restaurants you recommend in Nadi for lunch? Is the lounge at the airport adequate for an early dinner?

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    Thank you for all your responses. There is a twist in the tail. A J redemption booking has popped up from Krisflyer on my preferred date so I will be flying with SQ through to the USA (which is good, if long - but I do rather enjoy their catering). I was able to get a flight back with QF points...

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    Thanks for all your input. Seems like the highest expected value move is to book BNE-LAX in business. More important to get the best included entree even if I have to pay for my starter. And in these cost-of-living crisis time now it's time for me to stop upper-class whinging and shhh.

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    Qantas' ethos is something straight out of Ryanair - make customers experience the worst value possible and don't be afraid to show it. For a bona fide example, for many years they showed availability in J when searching for an award flight from Melbourne to LA connecting at Sydney, with "your...

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    Yes. A multi-city booking. Ultimately, Qantas J is below standard when it comes to comparison with Asian carriers, but Qantas PE was subjectively better than SQ's offering. Hmmm.

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    Well does that change which choice you would take? Seriously, is Premium Economy bearable enough, given it's a daytime flight and you get an extra day in LA, you don't have to buy a separate domestic leg. Also, would e-mailing Qantas help in any way or is it their practice now to ignore...

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    I am Bronze FF. My status is with Star Alliance, not that it has helped much. How do I call the Hobart/Auckland call centre? Every time I call the standard number it is someone whose fluency in English appears limited.

    Qantas redemption booking woes

    For my planned trip next year, the rarest of miracles has happened: Qantas has a classic J redemption available on the day I wish to travel! Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, things never work out perfectly. There is only a redemption available flying out of BNE-LAX rather than my home town of...
