I assume you're looking for Business Class. Generally if you're looking at less than a year out, there'll be no availability unless JAL has just done a random drop of award space (happens rarely). However, you can generally reliably find JAL award space if you look at the end of the calendar...

Yes, although this should be a surprise to nobody given they're also very popular routes (and you can't book CR+ unless CR is sold out)

I wonder if it'll be a new approach for additional domestic rewards, given Classic+ doesn't cover domestic at the moment.

If they're going to operate this on SYD-MEL or any other 1 hour-ish route, surely they're gonna need more staff serving business class if it's full with 20 pax?

I hope the new WiFi hardware can keep up with everyone streaming video. The current 737 WiFi can sorta do it, but not reliably. I admit I'm disappointed. I was hoping for seats closer to what Cathay have in their A321neo - not lie flat, but still a lot better than a basic recliner.

It's possible, but I've flown routes not in the calculator and had it credit correctly. For instance, I flew Matsuyama to Fukuoka last year on JAL

After the upgrade, do you get a new e-ticket or not? I reckon what's happened is; 1. BA's IT sent Qantas the wrong data, or they've changed the internal representation of this type of upgrade without considering its impact on 3rd party FFPs (non-BAEC), causing Qantas to read it as an Award...

Did you use the "Upgrade my class of travel with money" option in Manage Booking? I think in theory that should earn full Avios and SC when credited to BAEC, so it seems strange that they'd send "U" as the booking class to Qantas

Generally if they're gonna pop up they would pop up when these flights are loaded into the system. If you can book (cash) the new flights but see no award seats, then bad luck. JAL sometimes releases a batch of seats later, but there's no way to guess when that'll happen.

Record that booking reference, then call up and explain online payment failed, and that you'd like to pay for it. They should be able to take payment over the phone.

Ah yeah, the answer was no. They couldn't even print a boarding pass or bag tag for the flight the next day, so I still had to visit a check-in desk in Melbourne. I suppose I got to use the Melbourne F check-in for the first time.

I've seen quite a few case of stuff like this happening get posted online, for instance there's a few reports of this with QR on FlyerTalk: FF# being replaced on Qatar Account - FlyerTalk Forums and even a post on AFF (albeit by a new account without much detail). My best guess is rogue airport...

Now taking off on QF60D. Same tech crew as last night, but new cabin crew flown in from Australia for this trip. Wonder what the knock-on effects of this will be (will tomorrow's QF60 be unaffected?)

I would've preferred JL51 but I didn't think they'd let me since QF60D is scheduled to leave only 30min later. Of course it's now 30min past scheduled departure and it seems like there's still people checking in.

At the airport checking in for QF60D (replacement for last night's flight), and it looks like tonight's QF60 is delayed until tomorrow. 1724148929 Additionally, QF60D is delayed by an hour so far.

It took 2 hours from flight cancellation till when we could disembark. Specifically the timeline was 10:30pm boarding begins (behind schedule, scheduled departure was 10:00pm) 10:52pm fault announced, engineers board aircraft 11:15pm fault resolved, begin taxi 11:xxpm fault returns, return to...

Have disembarked now (5am local), waiting for bags (hotel vouchers issued). Total time sitting on the plane not going anywhere was 6h20m. I can see today's QF26 is zeroed out, but QF60 is still J8Y9.

Tonight's QF60 is cancelled. Currently sitting in the plane (boarded 10:40pm local, now 3:55am+1d local) waiting for HND immigration to gather enough staff to allow us back in. Intervening time was spent fixing an aircraft issue that was ultimately unfixable. Captain says the issue was...

I have an ESTA that I used for transit only that I was still able to use for future trips which weren't transits
