Very quick and good service from the contact centre today. Wasn’t actually sure whether I got South Africa, Fiji or Hobart. I think it was South Africa? Yet another QF11 schedule change which made me AKL-SYD-LAX-JFK a little bit more of a pain. Was allowed to switch to QF3 AKL-JFK direct, no...

The rules seem to be applied inconsistently across the board. For example, I just got whacked with QF11/12 schedule changes causing a misconnect in SYD. The outbound QF11 budged by 30 min and I tried to weasel my way in changing my AKL-SYD-LAX-JFK to AKL-JFK direct which was in the original...

if this was a J/C/D/I flight it should have been possible to re-route via MEL as per they own rules. The only exception would be U class

I think it is beyond pretty much zero I mean looking at UK-POS right now for the dates provided (14/12 and 4/1) QF10 and QF9 for those dates have no D or I class QF2 and Qf1 MAY be possible is the poster is P1 since there is D9 and D3 respectively but that’s about it

what I meant, is that if you call reservations call centre when the frequent flyer service center is open, they liaise with each other and points can be refunded immediately. that's what Hobart did for me when I called to cancel and rebook last week. points immediately refunded so we could rebook

if you call the contact centre during frequent flyer centre open hours, they can cancel the previous ticket, immediately refund points and then book your new ticket

I've been told by the contact centre it's a maximum of 4 weeks Having said that, I suspect there is a huge amount of variability as usual. I got my points instantly refunded via the contact centre (since I needed to book another ticket). Nothing yet on my CC re: taxes 6 days later (though I...

I was just coming on to post this haha! 6499 LAX/SFO 6999 DFW 7499 NYC What I can't figure out though is why the transcontinental book into economy instead of I. I can't find the fare rules yet online Edit: Never mind .... no I class availbility when I'm looking

Second success in two months yay as a WP (got QF4 JFK - AKL in U approved 6-8 weeks back) Initially was hoping to get U released on QF 3 AKL-JFK in late April. However, this week the one flight I was looking at went from J9C9D9I7 to J9C0D0I0 for whateever strange reason. It’s messed with my...

point of sale restrictions I suspect depending on where you are requesting a flight from a great example is for QF3 AKL-JFK expertflyer US or AOE POS never shows I for some reason, even when available on the QF website (NZ POS) I've been told by agents they needed to log into another POS to...

Don't forget though, cancellation is merely 5k points. I suspect a large number will be book now, decide later and will possibly book multiple dates

this is very interesting - I wonder if the US routes are SG and above?

plenty of QF3 SYD-JFK throughout May though in all classes

I think there is inbound for LHR/FCO but not Americas from what I can see. side note, tried to see if qf3/4 were available, I couldn't find any classic rewards on those flights
