If you can do hand luggage only, you could always "feel ill" in Shanghai and fail for board for your final leg, provided you're booking a one-way itinerary.

I cancelled an award booking a few weeks ago and the points were refunded within 24 hours.

At least it's 10kg now and not 7kg like it used to be.

It's based on your next onward flight, so in that example, yes in Sydney and no in Melbourne.

With 6 seats per plane it's also going to be the world's most unattainable on points first class cabin :D

Is it just me or are there other people who won't enter a competition if the prize involves flights in anything less than J? :D

Given the difference in journey time you would be within your rights to cancel the booking and get a full refund, however I think any attempt to get Qantas to put you on another flight will be fruitless (and given that you actually did book Y AKL-SYD, there would be no obligation on them to...

Possibly being held back for Classic+ when domestic flights begin?

The requirement is: Flight number is all that matters.

Just wondering if anything's changed since this thread or if you'd still recommend them for Spain? Currently looking at a one-way drive from Barcelona to Madrid over 14 days and Alamo seem to be one of the cheapest. I normally use Europcar or Avis and feel like I've read bad reviews of Alamo in...

There's always been an option to pay the taxes etc with points as well as the flights.

Depends what the "certain circumstances" are I guess, but I wouldn't hold your breath - I expect it's like how seat purchases are non-refundable if you then get an upgrade.

I can think of better things to spend ~$800K on than lifetime WP I have to say ;)

I imagine Qantas would want to pay them such a low rate for award seats that it wouldn't be worth their while.

If you pay Qantas in Australia, and Qantas are registered for GST, then legally they must provide a tax invoice.

A monthly subscription to seatspy.com might be worth it if you're having trouble finding award seats.

What? You thought WPs were special? Well think again, this is Qantas after all.
