    J Class Qantas FF rewards booking - Unable to chose my seat.

    I have booked a J class rewards ticket from Mel- LHR with Qantas and onward to Milan Linate with BA (all on one ticket). When I go into "manage my booking" using the Qanats PNR # it won't let me choose my seat on either leg. I'm not surprised I couldn't choose it on the BA leg but I would have...

    Transiting via Bankgok on 2 separate tickets

    Yes, I saw most of those too. June 3rd is too late for me. And the Premium economy was ok time wise and transit wise but I'm trying to hold out for a J class fare (tricky back). I did find a SIN-HEL-MXP in J class with Finnair but getting to Singapore was time consuming as there were no direct...

    Transiting via Bankgok on 2 separate tickets

    Hi Happy Flyer Family, Yes I'm trying to get to Milan (the quickest and most direct route) using business classic rewards but on the days I'm trying (24 & 25 May) there are economy seats but nothing at all business class with EK or QR. I'll search again. Thanks.

    Transiting via Bankgok on 2 separate tickets

    Hi everyone, My ongoing issue is still ongoing - I'm traveling to Europe (to MXP or Zurich) in May trying to use my points for a J class ticket. I have now found a nice J class EK flight BKK- DXB and then onwards from DXB -MXP. The flight departs BKK at 09.30am so have to somehow get to...

    Has anyone ever used Insure4less?

    Thanks Pagans. Yes the more I read the less I liked the sound of them. We ended up going with Allianz.

    Transferring in Singapore if booked on 2 different tickets.

    Yes, I'm looking at that too but nothing in J class is appearing on my dates of 24th or 25th May ex Melbourne. I'll keep looking and that's definitely one of the routes I'm looking at.

    Transferring in Singapore if booked on 2 different tickets.

    Hmm, only a 1 hour 35 minute connection. If it's an hour late I'm stuffed :). I think I'll discount taking the via singapore option. I'll just keep my original QR seat to Rome whilst still searching online every day for something more streamlined and on one ticket straight into Milan. Miracles...

    Transferring in Singapore if booked on 2 different tickets.

    Where are the awards?

    @kangarooflyer88 great questions! Thanks. I do know the answer to one of them 😀. As I’ve rejigged the itinerary I’m going straight from FCO into Rome. There is a great public transport system from the airport into the city. After a few nights in Rome we will go to Florence for a few days...

    Where are the awards?

    @kangarooflyer88 The rabbit hole was a long and winding one and I just couldn't find any Zurich flights for my dates later in May. But I decided to take your advice and seriously looked at Rome and I did find a very nice business class Qatar flight to Rome ( albeit via Brisbane) although it was...

    Australian state border restrictions

    Hi everyone, I'm possibly going to book a ff flight from MEL - MXP in may and the flight route is Mel- Per on Qantas and then it connects with a PER - Doha and Doha -MXP Qatar flight. There would be 2 and a half hours in Perth to connect from one flight to the other. Forgive me if this has...

    Where are the awards?

    Thanks Kangarooflyer88. Yes I love Rome too and I would have considered it as a starting point but our itinerary is a bit tight and the day we arrive we are going straight to Lake Como so flying into Milan is the best/ easiest option time wise. I did find late last night when I was going the...

    Where are the awards?

    I've been monitoring for a few weeks now looking for a MEL - MXP J class flight in May. Lots of economy but nothing up the pointy end. Today quite a few odds and sods popped up, mostly starting in Singapore. Finnair, KLM and a few random Qatar flights. I'd happily use points to/from Singapore...
