No I haven't - I'm a lowly Bronze - but that's why I've persisted to date. Hopefully I'll snag an AUS/NZ agent who can sort it out for me. I've got nothing to lose - now that they answer fairly quickly - so I'll keep trying.

I've had several conversations over Messenger in the last year and it's quite apparent that the agents are knowledgeable about OWA, the need for immediate ticketing to avoid other airlines cancelling and so on. Only problem with it as a means of communication is than it can sometimes be a long...

Got my suspicions confirmed today via a Facebook Messenger chat with Qantas - availability of award seats on non-Qantas flights is different (ie. better) for new bookings than existing. Explains why seats showing as available on the website aren’t visible to call centre agents. Unfortunately...

Spoken to Fiji twice in recent days - both times answered very quickly - to check on seat availability for additional sectors for our existing OWA booking. No success either time but both agents managed to delete existing sectors from our itinerary! Fortunately was able to get them reinstated...

Try Cathay Pacific Manage My Booking. It will likely state that seat selection isn't available but will still give you the option of making a seat preference selection (Aisle or Window). If you do this it will assign you to some random seat. Curiously if you have say 2 travellers in your...

Day of week Friday Time of call 13:18 AEST Number used 131313 Status Bronze Hold time A minute or 2 Call Centre (if known) Highly suspect Fiji based on the level and nature of background noise (lots of giggling). Agent (Nish) didn't sound particularly Fijian though Matter resolved...

Don’t know if it works for domestic but I’ve had success with seat selection using Manage My Booking on rj.com on international sectors where the operating airline’s website wouldn’t let me.

We're planning to travel in May from MEL to ZRH transiting though SIN. With the recent relaxation of the transit rules in Singapore it means we can get all the way to Zurich (and back) without having to undergo any COVID testing - which could potentially torpedo our holiday! I'm interested to...

Whatever the reason for this it's only been in place in the last 2 years. I had 2 QSuites booked ticketed and allocated for a OWA in 2020 (was booked in 2019). But of course that trip was cancelled and attempts to rebook it all ran into the 1 seat only restriction. Looked at the Auckland option...

Had an MH flight dissapear from our OWA itinerary on 2 occasions due to slow ticketing - MH appear to only allow 24 hours before releasing a booking. Frantic call to QFF managed to reinstate them on 1 occasion but on the other the seats had gone! Since then I've always requested ticketing be...

Still available ...

Have 1 x QF general lounge pass for anyone who can use it - expires tomorrow!

Unfortunately doesn't help. Have tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge - same result. Think I'll try a chat session again to confirm seat selection. When I view my wife's seat selection, the seat next to her (ie. mine) is unavailable - so maybe all's fine.

Realise that - and now think that may have been simpler. Kept them separate in case I had to cancel.

You're right - just logged in again and the 20kg baggage allowance has now appeared for both of us. Took 12 hours roughly. However I'm still getting flipped back to the login screen when trying to view seat selection. Just have to wait and see I guess 1644320100 I use booking ref and name to...

Had a frustrating experience today booking award flights on Jetstar via the Qantas website. The Qantas side of the process went smoothly enough but when I subsequently logged in to Manage My Booking on Jetstar the problems began. (I did 2 separate bookings on the same flight from MEL to CNS...

Correct - CGK and KUL require another transit via Middle East or IST. DOH is an option if transit is straightforward

We've done it on SQ as well and it was - as you say - smooth as. Main concern is whether the transit requires COVID testing, clearing immigration etc. etc Would be a disaster to arrive from MEL, test positive and then the whole trip is gone.
