That's odd. I did not have this issue when I was searching MEL to Shanghai just a few weeks ago for dates in early July 2025 and I booked China Eastern MEL direct to Shanghai. There was extensive availability almost every day in June and July in both econ and business class on both China...

Not totally surprising but some hotels I recently considered booking via Qantas Hotels before this offer have increased in price for the same date compared to before the offer yet some have not changed.

if your decision is simply based on plane comfort not LAX vs Dallas or other considerations then A380 economy class is far more comfortable than B787 economy class. Having said that , yes the little kids won't feel much difference in the narrower seats but depending on body size, the adults can...

I have MEL to Helsinki and return flights booked with a Bangkok stop over in each direction. The MEL to BKK sectors are with Malaysia Airlines while the other sector is with Finnair. (these airlines have baggage transfer agreements). The booking is one ticket. One of the Bangkok stopovers is 21...

call again, use the frequent flyer services option not reservations. Say that you need a priority points refund in order to make another urgent booking

Frankfurt to Tokyo and Tokyo to MEL/SYD reward seats are there for the taking in July 2025.

You should be able to find something out of Helsinki to the various SE Asian cities that Finnair fly to. Frankfurt to Tokyo with JL was also popping up when I was searching for similar dates recently.

how many passengers ? and where in Australia ?

Any tips of what to say to an agent so they can see or know how to book what we can see? I have had this situation in the past and again recently. Or is it better to keep calling to get a proficient agent ? In my recent example agent 3 was able to complete the booking but it took 1hr 20min...

if the wine points were a bridging loan scenario then returning them once you get more points makes some sense. Just check the terms as to how long you have to return

Does it really matter if someone redeems their points for classic plus, a toaster or points plus pay ? Yes the crude value is lower than the standard reward but ultimately it is up to the individual to attribute worth to the point. Someone may have lots of points but does not fly much however...

I have had luck in the past where I have booked economy reward seats then a higher class appeared a few days later for the same flight. I expected a change fee of 5000 points per passenger but it was 5000 points for the booking. I don't know if was a mistake. I agree with SeatOB. If you can get...

Yes I agree this is a good strategy. This strategy also works with reward seats from Australia to Asia, spend a night or two then fly reward to Europe. There are however less reward seats to Asia during peak season. Nonetheless I just managed booking my family of 4 complete reward seats to...

Hi, does the 5000 point change fee apply when there is only a change of class ?

There is a Mel to Shanghai reward seat flight available to book on 1 July 2025. I have taken the dummy research booking as far as the passenger name field on the QF portal. However, the China Eastern website is yet to show any flights for this date. So, what gives? Will I be able to complete the...

thanks elanshin, yes I know !

Dubious value depending on the route it seems. (IMHO). MEL to SIN in business class is 75,000 points per passenger plus $1205 or 107,000 points in first class plus $1205. I think I would struggle to savour a premium class on an 8 hour flight that departed MEL at 2.25am going to a similar time...

My family has an upcoming flight Melbourne to Cairns. My wife and I are in business class while our two sons ( 15yo, 17yo ) are in economy. Would it be reasonable that all 4 of us use the business class check in counter ?

which route are you searching ?

Given you are approximately 10,000 points short, rather than spend money for the points and get nothing but the points, even if you are not a wine drinker you can gift the wine. Spend cash on the wine and get points PLUS the wine. The points credit usually take 2-3 days from purchase.
