I (bronze status) find that sometimes the phantom availability is available in the next 24 hour period after the day the flight first loaded on the calendar. ( I hope that makes sense ) Using one of the examples above from levelnine, 30 May 2024 AMS to PER is say showing availability however...

I had a similar experience with QF93 several months ago which was originally an A380 upon booking. After the aircraft changed to a B787 I could not re-select the new seats I had been allocated because there simply were none as the smaller plane was now full.

your booking class for flight 1 may not have been in an earn category for Qantas points. Not all Qatar booking classes earn Qantas points despite being a partner. Best to check first, info is on Qantas website

Like MELso says......you need to look for reward seats not points plus pay seats. Reward seats on Jetstar flights incur a lower points redemption than most comparable reward seats with other airlines on the same route hence can be good value.

DebAnne when did you make the booking?

Good story but sad at the same time. There should be a degree of consistency with skill set and service across all Qantas call centres.

BazzaCoffs may not necessarily be pursuing a Oneworld booking but a route that does in fact go around the world utilising reward seats that may not include Oneworld partners. Having said that, the answer to the 'adding segments' question would be the same.

this is a very good question for which I would also like to know the answers. Can anyone provide an insight please?

you could transfer 600,000 to her now and if that is not enough to cover the booking, she could book using any of her own points (if she can spare) for any shortfall and then you owe her those points in 12 months in another family transfer

Thanks docjames and jpp42. Answer to you questions: It would be a through ticket economy reward booked with Qantas. There is no later AMS-ARN flight.

A search for a flight from Hong Kong to Stockholm brings up the option of a booking comprising of two KLM flights via Amsterdam: HKG-AMS-ARN. The connection time in Amsterdam is 1hr 10min. As both Netherlands and Sweden are Schengen Zone do I clear immigration in Netherlands or Sweden ? The...

Hi, direct flights from MEL or SYD to HKG only have availability showing until 31 March 2024. Does anyone know when the post 1 April 2024 schedule will be released ?

It is all relative and personal choice. If you have lots of points and maximum value is not a priority nor is the time investment in trying to obtain award seats which may not be your ideal schedule/route/airline/class etc then by all means use the points for hotels, car rental or consumer...

Up until a few weeks ago when searching for MEL-HKG-MEL award seats flying CX for dates approximately 11-12 months in advance, there was availability being released on a daily basis. The availability is still there up until 27 March 2024 however nothing has been showing after this date for the...

I recently returned from a USA holiday and rented a car for 18 days through Turo in Los Angeles. The car provider was LA Auto Spot who have a fleet of different vehicles. The entire process was positive and I saved several hundred dollars compared to the usual rental providers. I also got to...

Thanks !

Hi, the family and I are flying QF 94 LAX-MEL on 23 April at 10.20pm. What is the earliest that we can check in with bags ?

Yes I would do the same if Qantas Hotels can't help.

All on reward points as well ! Is it too early to order a Bloody Mary?

A family of four international upgrade is fantastic. I wish we had more good news Qantas stories on AFF !
