    B789 - worst ever Qantas economy long haul Seats

    I have heard flight attendants complaining of the narrowness of a 9 abreast B787 when it comes to dealing with meal/drinks in the narrow aisle.

    why cant you use your Mastercard abroad? Was it a case of not advising the card issuer of intended use abroad ? or something else ?

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Explain at Perth that you wish to collect bags in KL. ( I don't think the airline will hold at the airport anyway as your next flight is a few days later). If your return booking is a reward seat booking the taxes/carrier charges will be in the local currency of origin however given there is...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Do you intend to layover at KUL airport or enter the nation to spend the night ? Your answer will enable someone to explain the luggage situation. As my previous comment if you return dates are already on the system and seats available, make one return booking , if not grab the Perth to Rome...

    Subtleties of booking a complex reward route

    Your screen shot example is one booking with 3 flights so not sure what you mean by two flights? The fact that flight two is the day after is academic. In fact if you are happy to spend a night in KL this is an excellent reward seat opportunity ! The connections are generous so no need to...

    Qantas Business Class Headphones

    If your only need for the headphones is to watch/listen to Qantas's in flight entertainment they will suffice. If you wish to use your own device then take your own headphones such as Sony or Bose wireless.

    Rewards calendar shows seats which aren’t actually available

    I (bronze status) find that sometimes the phantom availability is available in the next 24 hour period after the day the flight first loaded on the calendar. ( I hope that makes sense ) Using one of the examples above from levelnine, 30 May 2024 AMS to PER is say showing availability however...

    Unable to find my seat selection on QF website

    I had a similar experience with QF93 several months ago which was originally an A380 upon booking. After the aircraft changed to a B787 I could not re-select the new seats I had been allocated because there simply were none as the smaller plane was now full.

    Help - chasing missing points and losing the will to live!

    your booking class for flight 1 may not have been in an earn category for Qantas points. Not all Qatar booking classes earn Qantas points despite being a partner. Best to check first, info is on Qantas website

    Qantas points

    Like MELso says......you need to look for reward seats not points plus pay seats. Reward seats on Jetstar flights incur a lower points redemption than most comparable reward seats with other airlines on the same route hence can be good value.

    HBA call centre - amazing service for platinum request

    Good story but sad at the same time. There should be a degree of consistency with skill set and service across all Qantas call centres.

    Advice on RTW booking

    BazzaCoffs may not necessarily be pursuing a Oneworld booking but a route that does in fact go around the world utilising reward seats that may not include Oneworld partners. Having said that, the answer to the 'adding segments' question would be the same.

    Query about transferring points

    you could transfer 600,000 to her now and if that is not enough to cover the booking, she could book using any of her own points (if she can spare) for any shortfall and then you owe her those points in 12 months in another family transfer

    Transfer through Amsterdam ( Schiphol airport )

    A search for a flight from Hong Kong to Stockholm brings up the option of a booking comprising of two KLM flights via Amsterdam: HKG-AMS-ARN. The connection time in Amsterdam is 1hr 10min. As both Netherlands and Sweden are Schengen Zone do I clear immigration in Netherlands or Sweden ? The...

    Booking Hotels with QFF points

    It is all relative and personal choice. If you have lots of points and maximum value is not a priority nor is the time investment in trying to obtain award seats which may not be your ideal schedule/route/airline/class etc then by all means use the points for hotels, car rental or consumer...

    Future award seat availability flying Cathay seems to have stopped

    Up until a few weeks ago when searching for MEL-HKG-MEL award seats flying CX for dates approximately 11-12 months in advance, there was availability being released on a daily basis. The availability is still there up until 27 March 2024 however nothing has been showing after this date for the...
