    I'm getting messed around by Qantas call centre

    unless your flight is seriously imminent, give up and call again. I have had recent interaction with the call centre since the last time several months ago and I suspect the holiday season has impacted on the current poor service I have received. Have you tried changing your flight on line ?

    Flying to Europe around late Apr/May

    Given late April/May is not that far away I would grab any reasonable classic reward flight irrespective of class asap. Try a multi city search as two separate one ways. Failing that you will need to consider classic plus.

    Basically impossible to book partner rewards flights at release

    For bookings well in advance, there are situations where QF reward availability calendar for a partner airline does not align with the actual partner airline availability calendar. QF might show reward seats say 360 days in advance but the actual partner airline calendar is 2 weeks behind. I...

    Anyone else waiting for points from Kogan purchases to hit their account?

    Was this a purchase direct with Kogan or via Qantas Shopping link to Kogan ? I regularly use Qantas Shopping and often have to chase up missing points from a variety of retailers linked through Qantas Shopping. No surprises that Kogan direct throws up similar frustrations.

    The Operational Upgrade Thread

    Several weeks ago at Bangkok airport for a Finnair flight to Helsinki, there was a hand written upgrade cash price at the check in counter for both business and PE upgrades.

    Cancelling WestJet classic reward - will WestJet refund the bag and seat fees?

    Up to you but a 6k point cancellation fee for a 10k point flight seems like a bit of a hit. I would want the cash fare to be real cheap to cancel !

    Award Booking - AwardsNexus.com Search Result

    I cant give advice in relation to Award Nexus accuracy but from my experience as a bronze member, I rarely see anything but economy class classic reward seats on direct QF flights to the USA. Lots of seats/dates to choose from though. You could book economy and register for an upgrade to...

Perhaps some nice person can help out ? Unless you already have make sure you enrol her as a QF frequent flyer ( free). She will...

    Qantas Points Club

    good for you Big John ! I have found PC+ worthwhile mainly for the Qantas club membership. The wine and hotel vouchers have also been useful.
