    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Haven't looked for a few days but I was consistently seeing around 2 days of AMS-DOH-CBR on QR for June/July 2023.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    If a booking is made pre 5 July at the old miles rates and is later cancelled (not changed) post 5 July would all miles be returned without penalty?

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Moderators: I suggest that TTL (ticketing time limit) be added to the Abbreviations list.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Well done. I'm hoping to do the same flight for September 2023 in either direction depending on what scraps QF offers up in the other direction.

    KrisFlyer redemption rates increasing [from 5/7/22]

    Fair call. I'm moving into my 70's this year and we've seen as much as we want to overseas. One more to the US and then a train journey through eastern Europe and then it's domestic only. I have just enough KF miles and QF points for J seats for 2 so I'm not worried about burning them all.

    KrisFlyer redemption rates increasing [from 5/7/22]

    I'll be booking for travel to or from Europe in September 2023 using Krisflyer miles. Personally I'm happier to wait until the flights open up and cop the 10% extra miles (hopefully in J Saver seats). I rather do that than go through the hassle, risk and stress of booking now and trying to...

    Do you know where the call was answered?

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Last week I called 131313 twice between 7.00am and 7.30am and both were answered within 5 minutes. I was hoping for Hobart to answer but both calls were taken in Fiji. The outcome wasnt great but acceptable. BTW it is a holiday in Hobart today.

    That sounds like good advice. Thanks

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Thanks. In hindsight I should have thought of that. I think I was in shock from getting answered in minutes. Had I done so I may have got a Hobart agent and got better flights. We've got 4 hours in Sydney and being on Jetstar will have to move between terminals to use the Qantas Club Lounge.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    HUACA? The best I can find is "Huaca has a meaning that is widespread throughout the pre-Hispanic world. According to the Quechua dictionary by Fray Domingo de Santo Tomás, it means "temple of idols or the idol itself." In other words, huacas were ceremonial centers where pilgrimages, rituals...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I also had a reasonably pleasant experience on Thursday with the call centre. Based on advice here I rang just after 7am and after about 5 minutes got through to someone in Fiji. I had flights booked from Townsville to Hobart in August through Brisbane where the second leg was cancelled...

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    I reckon I'll be in the same boat in a few months. At 150,000 x 2 J Advantage awards I have just enough miles. Same going the other way with Qantas points. Good luck getting J seats to/from Europe with them. After that we will stick to Australia and drive and fly. I'm just about over with the...

    I've been watching J Saver awards from Europe back to OZ.

    Complimentary Lounge Passes Disappeared

    It turns out to be a Firefox browser problem. When I checked using Google they were still there.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Well at least that explains why all the Saver seats disappeared! I dont know how many PPS members there are but if they have all been contacted and done simliar to you its no wonder things changed so quickly. Good luck to you.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    For weeks I've been browsing J seat availability from ZRH, AMS and FRA to either SYD or MEL and there has been lots of availability of Saver fares (non waitlist) from all 3 airports. Looking just now 99% are Advantage fares with an odd few Saver fares on wait-list. I usually look around...

    Spirit of Tasmania to set sail from Geelong.

    Queensland and NSW people may be more likely to take the ship from Sydney to Hobart than Devonport and Tasmanians escaping to Queensland by car/caravan could get a head start getting off in Sydney. I quite enjoy the ship when taking the car across and when the new ships come into service it...

    Spirit of Tasmania to set sail from Geelong.

    I'd go even further and suggest Hobart/Sydney. I'm sure Queenslanders and NSW people would support it let alone Tasmanians going directly north. Two ships, one between Hobart and Sydney, the other Devonport and Geelong. It will never happen of course given the State government keeing the...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    I cannot agree more. Planning a trip to eastern Europe (and maybe the US) September 2023. I have enough QFF points for 2 J seats one way and enough Krisflyer miles for 2 J seats the other way. I'm more than content that redeeming the Krisflyer miles will be painless (and cheaper) and I'll...
