I have had this a few times. It does indeed always seem to be school holiday times and when I am personally only travelling to Sydney for a few days. I have always assumed (without actually having evidence) that it's to free up space in the value parking. I have taken it each time and it's...

As promised am providing an update now this issue has finally been resolved. After finally getting Qantas to admit that BER was un-selectable as a destination the frequent-flyer staff monitoring the email submitted the application for me manually. THEN that application was unsuccessful due to...

We went to the other restaurant by the same group in Gora - the Gora Brewery (NOBU STYLE 鉄板焼レストラン｜GORA BREWERY & GRILL｜トップページ). It was a little exxy but not any worse than a 1 or 2 chef's hatted place here in Melbourne. The main star of the show for us was the Wagyu Tomahawk steak. It's 15000...

Thanks. That's what I had been planning on doing and understood should be fine from my research.

Can you elaborate? We'll be going to Egypt later this year and I am trying to work out if I should be taking USD. Are there situations where the local currency would not suffice?

12 months :eek:

A further update. The screenshots of the lack of other options besides TXL ie. def no option to select BER finally did the trick and the claim has been submitted manually for me. We'll see how long it takes to be credited. In the meantime, I am assured the lack of BER in the system "has been...

Wish mine was so easy. Not having much luck so far, despite them being in possession of my eticket and boarding passes. But if they knew months ago it was an issue, it's disappointing to find they have still not rectified.

It's a minor issue that I am sure will ultimately get sorted, but am going round and round in circles trying to claim missing points and status credit from flights on Qatar MEL-DOH-BER (and return). The MEL-DOH (and return legs) credited automatically just fine but the DOH-BER (and back again)...

My family and I travelled to Japan for the first time in April. We did the fairly standard route for first timers but loved all of it. As others have noted upthread Kyoto and Nara feel very traditional Japanese. I would put in a particular plug for Hakone (also mentioned by others) as a great...

Yes SQ was over $3000, magically coming down now. And some Cathay prices are now similar to Qatar, which they certainly were not even a few days ago. But of course only QR has the Qatar suites which I will now be able to try for the first time for the DOH-MEL leg of the booking.

I can confirm this is happening to me too. On some random searches I can see business classic reward seats but no actual business class. Weird.

Was browsing reward seats for other purposes and noticed something of a unicorn pop up - a QSuite available using classic Qantas reward points. The catch is it's in 3 days time from MEL to DOH. Still, it may be of interest to someone here as an opportunity to experience a QSuite for a mere...

Yes. But that's for business class in the Q-Suites product. My personal opinion is that is an exceptional price. The nearest other business class flight out of JNB is Singapore Airlines for around $3500 (one way) and Emirates would set you back $4500 (one way)

Today I noticed (and booked) some exceptionally well priced flights from JNB to MEL (via DOH) with Qatar for late January 2024. The cheaper business class flights were the equivalent of around $2700 AUD per person. Although I haven't delved into the exact applicable dates or destinations, I did...

Sadly I did not see those. Was that in the March release? I am sure I was looking at that time but must have missed them.

Thanks I have an account with seats.aero and have an alert. But at some point will need to decide to whether to actually book something and was looking to get a feel for generally availability in prior years.

Thanks. Yes watching for the EK flight too, but as you say nothing at present either. 1693294000 Would really rather not if possible. Have had nothing but poor experiences recently with JQ (cancellations etc). Probably prefer to stump up cash.

That's what I figured. Certainly won't be holding my breath. Sadly not flexible with dates for exactly that reason ie. school holidays. Perhaps Qantas will have a sale and I can at least get seats at a better price than currently.

Does anyone have any experience successfully booking J class reward seats with Qantas points on either QF36 or QF38 in January in previous years? I have been watching for many months looking for availability in Jan 2024 without even a single seat popping up. Is this perhaps usual for this time...
