    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I mean the other thing that we often forget to take into consideration is that A332/A333 J cabins are relatively small at 26-28J seats. I wouldn't be surprised if U2 is the maximum allocation given that usually they can sell most of the rest also July is school holidays season both ex-AUS, and...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I’m not sure how accurate the information around 24 I seats is …. It’s a A333 operating QF128. The only way I can get the 24 number is looking at the seat map which has 4 seats marked occupied and 4 blocked (row 1), so 24/28 seats not marked. That however may not be entirely reflectively of the...

    Qantas cancels rewards seats accidentally

    not technically a QF screw up if the instructions from the OP's parents were possibly unclear and could be interpreted as "cancel everything"..... you have nothing to lose escalating to the reward email, but by virtue a full refund came rather than a ticket in limbo and not ticketed it means...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    does this work even if it is several months in the future? I always thought ORC was for disruptions only....still lots to learn as a WP if seems this is for a flight in May. if I could claim ORC it would be amazing after I take the flight (obviously can't claim till I fly)

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    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...

    Didn't expect this to be my breaking point, but it finally came!

    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

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    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

    Straight swap from QF award flight to another?

    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

    Classic Award Booking Cancellation Fees & Refund Processing Time

    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...
