    Qantas' Idiotic Award Booking Engine (Or How to Book Classic Awards Whenever, Wherever)

    Totally agree. I am trying to get to Spain then Cuba, Japan and Taiwan in that order. The Qantas multi city on points keeps on throwing up errors. I can get to KUL from ADL but then trying to fine a Royal Jordanian to DOH or AMM out of Subang SZB is just too difficult. Can I get some advice please?

    One World Award seats J class

    Yes, this year. I know this is a really long shot however I wanted it to be broken into two by a long stopover in between which means bringing the first leg a long way forward but I doin’t think this will be possible. So, if I look at Qantas I think their site does not always see availability on...

    Anyone having difficulty booking Award?

    Is it still too early to use Award flights on 16 sectors? Is Business class up to pre pandemic standards? Is it still too difficult working out an itinerary for a bronze member with lots of points? I need to travel with my wife which is difficult in terms of getting two award seats together in...

    NIB Travel Insurance Cancellation

    I agree that certain parts of the policy do commence immediately after purchase but there was no suggestion that there was a reason to claim anything before the trip commenced so in this case there should be a full refund of the policy.

    NIB Travel Insurance Cancellation

    I have also NIB Comprehensive policy which I have posted about in another refund thread. My belief is that the policy is for cover for a defined period i.e. from the time the trip commences to the time it finishes not from the time of purchase. The cooling off clause allows you to opt out of the...

    I took the cancellation option and so it will cost me 76k points to rebook but I guess I can defer without worrying about the time frame of the new booking.
