    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    I have a QR bkg for business end of June and it was the flight that was to originate in CBR and come via MEL where I am picking it up. I get the feeling the flight ex MEL will end up being cancelled. At the moment I think it originates from ADL to get around the 'no more flts' from major...

    Beware: QFF Award on Qatar Business flight Downgraded at check-in

    That has changed then...whenever a call out happened in relation to oversold, downgraded a-c, last booked were normally called first and they did not have to accept but were also told that they could still be taken off at the airport.

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Agree with that. I also continually start looking at availability once I make a decision on travel and always start c18mths out to see what it is like. Plenty of a a ex Asia I agree. I start looking 18mths out to see how availability is and always plenty of seats ex Asia on EK QR AY KL UL JL...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Nothing on QF website and compared to what taxes QF charge it is cheap. Ours going out for 2 was 1400aud + 318000pts!!

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    There were never any issues getting 2+ seats out of SIN but they all disappeared as well. EK much the same.

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    I am sure all bkgs made will be honoured and if not, think there may be a lot of requests on QF flts! It is also EK that keeps giving the error code. So many times I have gone in and found availability in J&Y on the QF website, but as soon as you grab one it just takes you back to availability...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    I understand what you are saying but I don't want to just hold any premium cabin seat for the sake of it as that is unfair to others that may be looking as well and last weekend their were plenty of premium seats available on many routes with various partner airlines and I dont think there have...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Was being a bit Tongue in cheek...just disappointing that the product being offered is not living up to the reality...so many people have all these points and want to use them in the pointy end but cannot. As I said before last week there were plenty of premium seats on other airlines and then...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Think there are many airlines that are not coming up available anymore in premium cabins so think this is a QF issue not allowing access to those seats that other airline members can see...wish they could be taken to the ACCC!lol

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Don't believe it is a QF website issue. I check regularly for FF seats and there have been plenty in J cabin on CX, QR,JL when first released and now there is nothing coming up but the odd BA flight where it shows J but it is only PY on the long haul. Even EK beyond DXB comes up as an error. I...

    Qatar flight change on Qantas classic reward booking.

    Good news....I cannot select seating on a QF award bkg and had to call QR. Hopefully you will see it on QR website Good news.....still concerns me that they are holding D class iso U class but hey if it actually tkts and it is shown HK in the QR system all should be ok. I had to call QR for...

    Qatar flight change on Qantas classic reward booking.

    Have you checked availability for FF seats on other airlines. CX/KLM/MU seems to have avail when I have been looking at mid August to Rome from ADL. It is so hard to get seats back from other airlines. If it was QF only seats so much easier. Good luck.

    Qatar flight change on Qantas classic reward booking.

    Now the fun will begin.....trying to get any seats back. This has probably happened because of the incorrect bkg class and creating an issue with having a new tkt issued. Hope someone at QF is taking ownership of the problem...

    Qatar flight change on Qantas classic reward booking.

    Agree... having been involved in reticketing in the past, incorrect class on award bkgs can cause issues also with QR. Normally what we had to do was hold that class to ensure a business seat held then contact other airline to convert to correct class which sometimes took a while. Good thing is...

    Do Thai Airways have waist size restrictions for Business Class seats on their B787 Dreamliner?

    I agree with you totally. Absolutely disgusting and so humiliating for the passengers. Having worked in the airline industry, when passengers wanted to buy two Y seats for comfort, consultants would mention to consider J class for not a lot more and definitely better comfort...was never aware...

    “Don’t fly a Dreamliner” says former Boeing Quality Manager

    I have a feeling I read somewhere that some of these are assembled in North and South Carolina as well as Seattle. Might be wrong but I believe Qatar only wanted aircraft made and assembled in Seattle after a few issues came to light about work done down that way due cost cutting etc...

    Qantas Online Access - Blocked - Error due to someone attempting to hack my account

    believe me there are many company's that book their staff using QFF points....amazing how many first cousins some people had!!lol . Same as when the FF member passes away, ensure the points are used or transferred before QFF are notified or they will be lost!

    Advice to get to Europe and back using Qantas points Oct 2020

    From just booking recently to Europe and return, found best option with availability was QR in both directions and good avail out and back into SIN. Taxes are also lower than EK. Points plus pay is a total waste of points unless you have an unlimited supply...
