What time would you suggest I call to increase the (slim) chance of getting a Hobart agent? (Never thought I'd miss the days when calling Qantas involved hours on hold - but got you through to a half competent agent)

Decided to bite the bullet today and rang Qantas to get the MAD-BCN flight moved to the very next flight - 1 hour later. Asked if the agent could contact ticketing dept whilst on the call but they declined stating that ticketing dept would't entertain such a request unless travel was imminent...

I have one General QF Lounge Pass available expiring 25/12/22. Please DM surname and QFF number if interested.

Agree with previous comments. If, as you say, there is plenty of availability then the risks are low. The issues others have posted about regarding reticketing disasters are related to flights for which little or no award seats are available so a lost booking for a single sector can mean an...

Route is Miami to Chicago (couldn’t get a direct flight) so should be plenty of later flights And no specific need to be there by a certain time- will be there for 5 days.

As part of our OWA next year we have a 54 minute connection time in Orlando between incoming and outgoing AA domestic flights (same booking). Interested to hear the forum's advice on the adequacy of this connection time. As far as I can determine both flights operate in/out of the same...

Didn’t know that - changes the equation a bit. Looks like I’ll be changing to a later flight when the next schedule change inevitably happens.

That’s my quandary - get it fixed at potentially great cost (not monetary) or take the chance of having to fly later possibly in Y. Unless I have no choice - because of schedule changes requiring reticketing - I’ll go for the second option. Curious why there was no issue booking it in the...

Flight is from AMM. Been ticketed for months - apparently without issue. I've already had 2 flight changes requiring reticketing so if (when) the next one happens I'll look at a later flight as well. If not, then I'll just see what transpires. I assume if we're reaccommodated into Y, the J...

As part of our OWA next year we have a 55 minute connection time in Madrid between an incoming RJ flight and an IB connection to Barcelona. IB have a flight an hour later that is showing J reward availability but I'm very reluctant to risk possibly losing other flights in our itinerary through...

Certainly in my experience your assumption regarding losing a booked flight due to slow Qantas reticketing is correct. I suggest you call ASAP and explain your concern - even say it's happened to you before - and see how much help you get. Call in business hours so the ticketing department is...

Don't they do it regardless? In my experience every time I've enquired - at the airport - if there's space, check-in/service desk staff have been happy to do it. And with no connecting flight to catch Even remember checking in to a JQ flight via a kiosk and being offered the option to jump on an...

I have the opposite situation. Flying MEL-DOH-AMM-MAD-BCN as part of a OWA with an 18 hour overnight layover in Amman for which we are likely to need our bags - other layovers are only a few hours. What determines how far our luggage is checked through to - is there a standard rule? Is there a...

Both gone

2 x QF General Lounge passes - expiring 8 December 2022 Please PM QFF number and surname if interested

A former neighbour who was an Ansett pilot had a similar experience. Stuck in Hong Kong for several days paying walk-up rates at a hotel. If I recall correctly they ended up paying almost as much as the airfare - not to mention several days lost from their holiday in Europe

Just got a dreaded "Your Booking has Changed" email myself yesterday - not for the first time - for a cancelled flight on our round the world OWA next May so thought I'd share my experience. In summary: Qantas website didn't provide option to accept the change so called up. Got SA call centre...

Apologies - I meant missed connections cover

Did you identify any companies offering adequate cancellation cover?

Once you've got your ticket - you've got your ticket. Your seat is more or less as secure as anyone else's on the flight. Seats would only be unavailable if Qantas (or other airline) has cancelled or altered your flight. Qantas should advise you of any of these changes and propose alternative...
