    Newbie questions around booking first QF Award flight

    Having been in your shoes initially and now more than 3 years later much wiser about the process, I suggest this is the way to go: As the ticketing department doesn’t appear to work on weekends, I’d avoid booking online/by phone over the weekend. Try and do it during Australian business hours...

    Full points or classic reward

    The points plus pay (as you call it) is a Classic Reward flight and is the way to go for obvious reasons. The only downside to Classic Rewards tickets is their limited availability and they don't earn points or status credits. The other options you mention are what Qantas actually calls Points...

    Award booking cancelled due to Qantas Error - AGAIN

    Agree the media wouldn't be interested in a failed reward booking but it seems to me the consistent failure to ticket - or re-ticket - itineraries in time to avoid sectors being lost and then washing their hands of any responsibility might be of interest. If more QFF members were aware of the...

    Award booking cancelled due to Qantas Error - AGAIN

    The media storm about call centre wait times earlier this year seems to have had an effect in that the several hours wait times seem to be a thing of the past - at least in my experience. But a consequence of that "improvement" appears to be a drastic drop in the competence of most call centre...

    Booking award seats USA to Cuba on AA using QFF points

    Knew about the approved categories but was unaware that since Jan 21 USA considers Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism - hence the visa requirement for anyone who has visited there. Now reconsidering our plans - thanks jrsfp.

    What's the problem - call center service

    Given your status and the service you experienced you were almost certainly speaking to the Hobart call centre. The "problem" is with the level of service provided by the non-Hobart call centres which - based on my own experience alone - would have likely not been able to successfully deal with...

    Booking award seats USA to Cuba on AA using QFF points

    Looking to book 2 reward seats on AA MIA-HAV-MIA next May using QFF points. AA site shows reasonable availability in T class but the Qantas website won't recognise HAV as an origin/destination when used in a second leg on a multi-city search. I realise this would require a phone call to book...

    Seat Selection Qatar redemption

    A long shot but try Manage Booking on Cathay Pacific. - this worked for me. You'll probably only be offered the option to select seat preferences ie. aisle or window. When you do that it will come back with seemingly random seats selected according to your preference - probably not even in the...

    QF24 21/12/22 - Individual seat selection isn't available for this flight

    Something else that might be worth a shot that's worked for me in the past to select "unselectable" seats: 1. Go to Manage My Booking on Cathay Pacific 2. Select a seat preference (Window/Aisle) for yourself and your wife - if it works as it has for me in the past you will then get assigned 2...

    Qantas can't book mixed class married pair

    Looking to book flights from Cusco to Miami via Lima on LATAM as a QF partner reward. Shows up in the multi-city search as available in Economy and Business - but with "Your flight will be in Economy" for the CUZ to LIM sector. No problem with that as it's a short flight. So rang the call...

    Article: The Challenges of Booking Qantas Reward Tickets By Phone

    A bit OT but relevant to this post ... I've been looking for AA availability between Lima and Miami for May/June 23 to close the last gap in our OWA booking and there is absolutely no U class seats on that sector for any date in 2023 that I can find (searching on AA website) I did find one date...
