Yep. Received check in reminders for a cancelled Cairns trip this week. Booking cancelled by me about three weeks ago I think. Thought at first that the cancellation was somehow reversed. Went into the app and trip was definitely gone.

I don't see any harm in trying. Worst that can happen is that you loose the credit if the they deem the flight is not refundable, which you would do anyway if nothing is booked. Have you also tried talking to the general Amex customer service to see if they would extend the expiry date of the...

Thought I would add a data point based on my experience today. Had a trip booked SYD-BNE-CNS & return in about 10 days. Used my $450 travel credit via Qantas Ultimate card plus about $50 extra of own funds. Given we are in lockdown until at least 28/8 called Amex Travel to see what my options...

Yes, this is a much better promotion. I thought it might be a good way to use up a travel credit and add a bit to it for a cheap J class ticket. However, the fine print says can't be used in conjunction with travel credits amongst other things.

Thanks, completely forgot about those.

Curious what routes are they using the 787's on.

For question 2, the advertised minimum connection time at LAX to an international flight is two hours (regardless if arriving domestic or international). However, I would not feel comfortable with that and would be aiming for three hours at least. Congestion at LAX can result in your arriving...

Had an involuntary reroute that I was almost not going to follow up ORC for. Thought the bother would be too much for the extra 10SC plus 10DSC (based on what I’ve read regarding other members experiences). Imagine my surprise when I called today to give it a shot and the operator did the ORC...

Finally got my DJ points yesterday. Some 95 days after the original transaction.

There is supposed to be a way to have two FF #'s in a booking - one for status and one for earn. However, there are few airlines that actually do it. I was once told by AA it was possible but in reality no agent could figure out how to make it happen. In the past when I have tried to change...

Exactly what I was thinking mannej, recalling that thread from a while ago. Hmmm

I received email confirmation for a David Jones transaction back in early June. Usual caveat, points could take 4-8 weeks before posting. When the 9 week mark ticked over and no points had posted I decided to follow up. The CS rep I spoke to said they have recently changed the T's & C's such...

Had the same experience last week booking SYD-MEL return for this weekend. Cheapest Red-e-Deal round-trip I could get was nearly $700. Made an award booking instead. Just looked at the same flights today and the round-trip price came to $315. Oh well, you can't ever be sure what will happen with...

My bookings have posted fine both pre & post backend upgrade. No follow up required, DSCs posted within a couple of days of regular SC postings. Have two more bookings made before 5/2/2018 for flights later in the year. I don't see that there should be a problem based on my experience so far.

Well, I know for the flight I'm looking at it is one of the non-reconfigured Longreach (OEB or OJM with old First cabin according to the QF seat map PDF). But, my interest was that with such a huge delay on the Sunday night flight there would need to be a reshuffling of aircraft in an attempt to...

Good Good to know. Thanks Melburnian.

Was interested in QF25 SYD-HND this Thursday (14 June). Given Sunday's very delayed flight, was wondering what the flow on effects would be for flights during this week.

Noobie question - Is there a way of determining which aircraft rego is planned for a flight, say between 7 & 3 days out?

Mainly Expert Flyer flight availability combined with the seat map (though the seat map by itself is not good indicator - particularly in economy). Every booking code is showing 9 at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The flights look very lightly loaded in Y but reasonable in business. I'll keep checking periodically to be on the safe side but probably nothing to worry about at this stage.
