It was a Qantas redemption booking.

If business end up appearing in a standard search for flights then go into 'manage my booking' and click on 'change' and see how that goes.

Enjoy your trip wendlle and good choice ! The other thing with the A380 is that it is somewhat compartmentalised so one does not feel like they are in a big plane with lots of passengers. Try flying a Jetstar B787 in economy class on an overnight journey ......it brings new meaning to the words...

Are you sure opusman ? I just tried it and the total points were a genuine Y + J.

it can be done as a reward multi city booking but not sure about a cash fare

try making a dummy booking. If you can then it appears luggage will be checked all the way : https://help.qantas.com/support/s/article/Through-check-in-and-baggage-transfers-between-Jetstar-and-Qantas

That's odd. I did not have this issue when I was searching MEL to Shanghai just a few weeks ago for dates in early July 2025 and I booked China Eastern MEL direct to Shanghai. There was extensive availability almost every day in June and July in both econ and business class on both China...

Not totally surprising but some hotels I recently considered booking via Qantas Hotels before this offer have increased in price for the same date compared to before the offer yet some have not changed.

if your decision is simply based on plane comfort not LAX vs Dallas or other considerations then A380 economy class is far more comfortable than B787 economy class. Having said that , yes the little kids won't feel much difference in the narrower seats but depending on body size, the adults can...

I have MEL to Helsinki and return flights booked with a Bangkok stop over in each direction. The MEL to BKK sectors are with Malaysia Airlines while the other sector is with Finnair. (these airlines have baggage transfer agreements). The booking is one ticket. One of the Bangkok stopovers is 21...

call again, use the frequent flyer services option not reservations. Say that you need a priority points refund in order to make another urgent booking

Frankfurt to Tokyo and Tokyo to MEL/SYD reward seats are there for the taking in July 2025.

You should be able to find something out of Helsinki to the various SE Asian cities that Finnair fly to. Frankfurt to Tokyo with JL was also popping up when I was searching for similar dates recently.

how many passengers ? and where in Australia ?

Any tips of what to say to an agent so they can see or know how to book what we can see? I have had this situation in the past and again recently. Or is it better to keep calling to get a proficient agent ? In my recent example agent 3 was able to complete the booking but it took 1hr 20min...

if the wine points were a bridging loan scenario then returning them once you get more points makes some sense. Just check the terms as to how long you have to return

Does it really matter if someone redeems their points for classic plus, a toaster or points plus pay ? Yes the crude value is lower than the standard reward but ultimately it is up to the individual to attribute worth to the point. Someone may have lots of points but does not fly much however...

I have had luck in the past where I have booked economy reward seats then a higher class appeared a few days later for the same flight. I expected a change fee of 5000 points per passenger but it was 5000 points for the booking. I don't know if was a mistake. I agree with SeatOB. If you can get...

Yes I agree this is a good strategy. This strategy also works with reward seats from Australia to Asia, spend a night or two then fly reward to Europe. There are however less reward seats to Asia during peak season. Nonetheless I just managed booking my family of 4 complete reward seats to...

Hi, does the 5000 point change fee apply when there is only a change of class ?
