My father in law is currently flying out of Warsaw on an Avios ticket and was told that he does not get lounge access in Warsaw, only in Doha as it is an award ticket. I told him to escalate this as it's the first time I'm hearing of this. The QR station manager gave a spiel on how this is a U...

The only comparison I have to give you is our flight from MEL - NRT with JAL in December. The fees came out to $118pp. I guess it could be different on the way out of Japan? Would be good to know why there’s such a discrepancy in taxes.

Is it possible for them to put you on the flight the following day or are they saying flying in Y is your only option currently?

I'd agree that Qantas points are harder to spend than others, especially for flights out of Australia but I wouldn't call them worthless. In the past year we redeemed over 1m points which definitely took some effort and flexibility on our part. I assume most of these complaints are from people...

From what I recall it was $750 USD credit with Qatar or $500 USD cash. For 2 passengers.

Yeah we didn’t take the offer and were adamant that we need / want to take this and not a different flight. It probably helped that we were second in the biz queue to check in so I doubt the last few to show up had any choice.

Had this happen with QR out of Manila earlier this year on a revenue J classic ticket. We did not pay for seat selection either and just chose to roll the dice at check in. When check in opened, no seats were available to select. When we got to the counter the following day it turned out that...

Used the social media chats to add an infant to two separate reward bookings and it was astonishingly straight forward, all showing up on the app and to my surprise only have to pay $110 in fees, we expected fees around 10% of the revenue fare (~$1300 based on the cost of the two one way flights...

You'll be fine, I've done a 4.5hr transfer from Narita to Haneda a few years ago. I took one of the limousine buses that goes via Haneda and had plenty of time spare.

If you have an iPhone you can get a digital Suica or Pasmo card straight through the Apple Wallet. See below link, it's very easy. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT207155 If you already hold a physical card then you can also convert it into digital. The cards will be set in express mode, so...

Yeah we flew return in QF J to Manila this March, got the seats around October.

Can you even contact them through the email without calling in the first place? I thought the email was for escalations only? I need to add an infant to various award bookings and I'm dreading any issues from calling such as @fairbasa.

You essentially paid around 2c per point which I feel is on par with what they're worth. What's letting you down is that you spent quite a lot of points on a fairly cheap revenue fare.

1k points here as well, decent outcome.

Cheers, used your link. Time to make the most of the First Choice discount + cashback! My referral link.

It’s just so odd though as there’s tons of availability in and out of Doha to all European cities but no way to connect to those flights from NA or Aus. Not sure what Qatar is achieving by doing this.

So I've been playing around trying to understand what's going on, it seems that Qatar has pulled almost all availability between North America - Doha and Australia - Doha, it doesn't matter which direction you look at. According to seats.aero, in the next 12 months there's 2 J reward flights...

Yeah I’m really curious what’s going on, all availability for next 12 months is gone.

It's the same case even when looking at flights to/from Asia and looking at less popular European destinations such as Warsaw or Belgrade so I doubt it's all Amex related. No J availability on BA website either. I changed a few of my bookings for flights 6 months out few weeks ago and was able...

Is it me or has Qatar drastically reduced their saver reward availability? Pretty much every day now is a Flex Award, this wasn't the case a week ago.
