Unfortunate to hear that you don't like it (although I would disagree re. the hard product having flown all the products named), but at least it wasn't the Shell Flat Neo I suppose. Hope you have a good flight anyway (despite your experience with the seat).

Curious. I wonder if JAL are dropping last minute unsold F seats ~2 weeks in advance

Because there's only one flight to SYD a day, and evidently they think it's better off as an overnight. Evidently Qantas doesn't see the day slot as more precious than the night slot. Yep, I'm impacted too :( Used a Qantas hotels $100 voucher which cannot be refunded. JL51 is overnight :( The...

Congrats! I'm sure you'll enjoy EK First class. As an aside though, I would generally recommend against using points + pay to pay the taxes for any amount as AFAIK it means you can no longer cancel or change for 6000/5000 pts respectively, which is one of the biggest advantages of classic...

No, in my experience they never go away after redemption (even if it says they will)

That's true, but if they're reducing capacity to Sydney then someone people are gonna have to get re-routed. Specifically I'm booked on the daytime HND-SYD which will no longer exist. I guess most likely I'll take a re-routing via. BNE (more status credits this way too :) )

Ah cough yeah, I've just realised I'll likely be affected by this too (flying in late April). Good heads up.

As noted by @elanshin, classic plus isn't its own fare class, but instead it's the ability to buy cash fares at a given rate. Whilst Classic Plus is probably most often drawing from the same I inventory that we do when we request an award flight release, they don't directly affect our success...

I wonder if this will be one of the very few exceptions where you can book Classic Rewards on codeshare - I assume not.

Yeah absolutely

I was just on Mt Ainslie in Canberra (completely unrelated), and just happened to spot a water cannon salute at the airport. I didn't quite manage to whip out my camera at the perfect time, but this is what I managed to capture, seconds after it passed through pure coincidence/luck that I...

Oh yeah that's weird. Same issue but in reverse?

I got a bit caught out by this when I was looking at getting a Platinum Release on flights to Japan - I was so sure certain dates had no business rewards (as I was searching both one way and with multi-city one way), but it turns out that there was classic rewards on the return. Take a look at...

Success in getting the following business seats released; - Apr 23 QF25 (I3) Approved - Apr 24 QF25 (I3) Approved - booked - Apr 24 QF59 (I3) Approved - May 11 QF60 (I1) Declined - May 12 QF26 (I1) Approved Wasn't able to reach Hobart across 2 calls tonight. First agent requested but claimed...

oh I wasn't expecting this - I wonder if this was scheduled in advance or if it has anything to do with the announced VFF changes. Anyway, happy to think about some bookings...

Yeah it's a really annoying limitation. I know they don't want people selling these passes, but jeez.

A week ago, I applied for a classic upgrade on a SYD-MEL flight (on the 8th of Nov) and it's just come through as confirmed. Not exactly sure why it's confirming so early, I can only assume that they added an award seat to the flight thus causing this to confirm immediately?

So I had the call center hold some released award seats earlier this month for 3 days whilst I decided if I wanted them - at the time I was told to either call back within 3 days to confirm, or the tickets would auto cancel. I didn't end up wanting the seats, so I let the date pass and just...

One of the "issues" with revenue status earn is that whilst it's simpler for VA flights, it ends up being somewhat more complex because every revenue system still needs a traditional earn table for partner flights (and presumably even VA domestic flights with an e.g. QR code). One thing I'm...

I wonder if DSC will still be a thing under the new system? I guess under a revenue based system a status run is whatever costs as close to the amount you need. I think this is exactly why VA thinks they can make these major changes - and for better or for worse, I think they're probably right
