    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    It's actually more than just domestic. It is now also present on Trans-Tasman routes. Previously the TT algorithms allowed for WP to select row 4 free of charge. Now it's pay for row 4. Actually making me consider TT travel to air NZ which at least still has slightly extra space seats for...

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    I unluckily got the one flight which departs 2025 as a one off on 1/5 which I moved out of then!

    Qantas Schedule more Evening Departures to North America

    a lot of the changes are to do with fleet capacity constraints. effectively by changing to a late departure to the US, it means the plane only sits at LAX usually for a few hours rather than 16-18 hours as previously. the question is, how will this all impact maintenance and performance given...

    Confirmable Suite Upgrades

    I’m surprised the contact centre talked about the Royal Suite. Having stayed at that Voco myself if I recall there are a number of junior suites / 1 bedroom king suites The order I think goes: 1 king bed suite luxury bath view > 1 bedroom suite > 1 bedroom suite luxury bath view > Grand Suite...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    you have to wonder if part of going in this direction is almost to restrict classic premium rewards to WP/P1 which effective acts as a carrot (or ankle shackle really) for people to keep crediting with QF. Having said that, selfishly as a WP, if release of awards at CR rates is easier I would...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I was always under the impression there were blackout dates particularly for Singapore and/or QF1/2. previously I thought it was June - August and probably complicated by olympics later this year too?

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Finnair are notorious for married segment logic just because NRT - HEL - LHR is available in U, it doesn't mean NRT - HEL, HEL - SPU or even NRT-HEL-SPU is available at U. effectively you need NRT-HEL-SPU available in U to rebook. cancelling doesn't necessarily return U inventory either

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    I mean without wanting to sound silly and derail this being a DSC thread, for that price of $6300+ return in premium economy you can fly business via Tokyo on JL for exactly the same price….. Also silver really isn’t worth splashing out for…

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    Sitting in the first cupboard now - I have to say though, I do like the cosy nature of the cupboard. Having said that it’s packed today, Front desk reckons “next year” now for renovations….forever waiting

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    in recent months I've found that the pdf I get sent now no longer has tax information after the first amendment/flight change/schedule change however, when ticketing occurs, I get a separate email with text, which had the ticket number, taxes, total cost, payment etc. It isn't a pdf, but rather...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I mean the other thing that we often forget to take into consideration is that A332/A333 J cabins are relatively small at 26-28J seats. I wouldn't be surprised if U2 is the maximum allocation given that usually they can sell most of the rest also July is school holidays season both ex-AUS, and...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I’m not sure how accurate the information around 24 I seats is …. It’s a A333 operating QF128. The only way I can get the 24 number is looking at the seat map which has 4 seats marked occupied and 4 blocked (row 1), so 24/28 seats not marked. That however may not be entirely reflectively of the...

    Qantas cancels rewards seats accidentally

    not technically a QF screw up if the instructions from the OP's parents were possibly unclear and could be interpreted as "cancel everything"..... you have nothing to lose escalating to the reward email, but by virtue a full refund came rather than a ticket in limbo and not ticketed it means...

    does this work even if it is several months in the future? I always thought ORC was for disruptions only....still lots to learn as a WP if seems this is for a flight in May. if I could claim ORC it would be amazing after I take the flight (obviously can't claim till I fly)

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Very quick and good service from the contact centre today. Wasn’t actually sure whether I got South Africa, Fiji or Hobart. I think it was South Africa? Yet another QF11 schedule change which made me AKL-SYD-LAX-JFK a little bit more of a pain. Was allowed to switch to QF3 AKL-JFK direct, no...

    Didn't expect this to be my breaking point, but it finally came!

    The rules seem to be applied inconsistently across the board. For example, I just got whacked with QF11/12 schedule changes causing a misconnect in SYD. The outbound QF11 budged by 30 min and I tried to weasel my way in changing my AKL-SYD-LAX-JFK to AKL-JFK direct which was in the original...
