    Preselecting Seating leaving Open Seat between you. Is it gaming?

    Even when these types are told they can select seats once the booking has been made they still come up with excuses why they shouldn't have to. a) "I can't, my company books it for me" b) "I've already got an aisle request in my (NB) profile" c) "I've never had a problem before" d) "My travel...

    Anyone having problems with the NEW seat selection?

    Just think, somewhere there is an IT geek that just loves the way the codes and scripts look in the back end. It seems totally lost on them it's harder to use for the customers. There was a separate issue where seat changes via the QF app would not stick if you were changing after you'd already...

    Losing QFF points and calling in the media

    That assumes people actually log into their account regularly. Part of the problem is that people have no activity nor to they bother to login to monitor their account. Again the debate comes back to the individual having to take some responsibility for managing their account. I remember that...

    Losing QFF points and calling in the media

    Should we add to the list those that don't update their mobile details to their frequent flyer profile? There are heaps of people who still have ff cards from way back minus the chip & QF Mastercard because they haven't updated their address details. Same same if they have changed their mobile...

    DOH > SYD maximising luggage

    Wouldn't your wife be on a separate pnr if she's flying Aust/DOH/Aust & you'd just be flying DOH/Aust? Otherwise you'd have to buy a one way ticket for her to position Aust/DOH then another one with you DOH/Aust. What about using QF points for yourself ex DOH to the US assuming QR have the...

    DOH > SYD maximising luggage

    You could always credit to QR but I don't think they're fond of picking up the phone for freq flyer enquiries. Where to Credit | Where to Credit Qatar Airways Flights in N Booking Class Looks like N class on QR is a bit more generous that T class.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Does the Reserve card have any travel insurance benefits of its own? Either way are offspring covered when travelling without the primary cardholder? Not sure if they have to be a supplementary cardholder?

    Qantas priority boarding - crippled by Communists?

    QF1713 is a QLink B717 with Cobham F/A's so I think only 3 F/A's in total. Two probably remain on board and one does boarding who may or may not be assisted by the QLink gate agent depending on other tasks G/A's have to do like take oversize bags down to the tarmac, reprint boarding passes...

    Departure Time Discrepency

    Download the AA app and monitor your AA flight in that. If you don't already have your AA pnr go to www.checkmytrip.com and enter your QF pnr which should reveal your AA pnr.

    Reduction of CX award flights to the US

    Certainly much easier to find SQ J seats ('I' class fare bucket) to/from SFO//LAX and HKG, NRT, SEL & SIN. If you have any VA points lying around you could transfer them across to Kris Flyer. Bonus is that you can waitlist SQ dates but you'd need to have a plan B as well. Don't forget to check...

    Reduction of CX award flights to the US

    CX won't even display 'U' class seats in Amadeus which has just happened in the last couple of days. Wonder if JAL Mileage Bank site will display them or BA Executive Club site? I saw plenty of U class award seats in January 2019 when the 744 was first put on that route. That was around the...

    Flight Booking information shared between airlines

    Does the TA use Amadeus? Sounds like the SQ and QF flights are in the same Amadeus pnr, assuming the QF domestic flight was also booked through the same TA. If your QF flight is on the same day as the SQ ones, chances are that QF will see the SQ oncarriage flights which means they would...

    No show on A380 between checking in with luggage and boarding

    A definite trap for young players is time zone changes eg ex BNE when it's daylight saving down south and pax are connecting through SYD and beyond. Pax don't adjust their watches one hour ahead and think they have an extra hour up their sleeve. A lot of the time people manage their time poorly...

    Booking Outward and Inward on separate Reward Bookings

    Business Class seats on QF3/QF4 SYD/HNL/SYD are notoriously hard to get as award seats at the time of booking, even more so since the 332 a/c EBG & EBL with the 36/199 config with the Mark1 Skybed don't do the HNL run as much now other 332s with the 28/239 config with the new J suites are on...

    buying a ticket A - B - C and stopping at B

    You would still appear as a gate noshow with bags as simply not rechecking the bags to the onward domestic flight does not remove those bags against your name nor flag you as someone who already has the bags with them not taking that flight. The gate agent would need to call the movement...

    Oneworld separate ticket interline changes

    We got separated from our bags on 11 Dec. MIA refused to file a lost baggage report fobbing us off to DFW who arranged for bags to be sent to BNE. Not enough time to get them to us in HNL as only there one night & bags had to still be cleared by Customs in Cuba. First bag arrived in BNE 24 Dec...

    Booking Outward and Inward on separate Reward Bookings

    Irrespective of whether the monies charged on top of the points required are classified as fuel fines or taxes the issue is how much the average Joe will have to pony up. Say you were happy to fly AU to HKG return in whY on a sale fare then fly J ex HKG to Europe and back, most itineraries eg...
