Man, Qantas trying to tell me an open jaw counts as 2 stops for a One World Award

Well that's a first! Apparently one leg has the two available reward seats but they need to be released to Qantas to complete my OWA itinerary and allow taxes to be calculated and tickets issued. All I need to do is phone up said carrier and ask them to do it - unbelievable.

The option Although if I were to book CBR - MEL - SYD or CBR - SYD - MEL it might be possible.

We're getting closer - just an error message when it comes to calculating taxes. Let's see if the support team can work out what's going on and I get a phone call back. Incidentally, has anyone had any experience of with the domestic leg interfering with the availability of international...

I'm going to call it and say this has been my most frustrating experience with trying to book a Oneworld Award yet. True, I am after 2 business class tickets so maybe my expectations are perhaps high. But I'm happy to work around Qantas's distinct lack of classic award seat availability in and...

Am I correct that Oneworld never ever properly replaced their excellent interactive point to point route map from years ago which showed both destinations, direct and indirect airline and routing options, departure and arrival times and associated miles ? It was similar to...

Thanks for the info- about to jump head on into my first OWA since COVID and maybe you might save me a few new injuries. Although the idea of phoning to find seats already fills me with dread 1701590084 Nice job getting in and out if Australia via North and South America.

Will be interested in your views on Kuching. Kuching and Mulu are about the two last places I want to go to in Malaysia before I start getting off the beaten track.

I will make both Siem Reap and Kuching work for me next time. I have 3 AirAsia flight in SE Asia. Punishing MH for credit they put an expiry date on.

I've ended up committing to a weekend in Jakarta. Going to spend up - anyone have views on Club access at the Ritz Carlton versus Langham

Speaking of, does anyone have any views as to whether Qantas will grant me boring silver status if I earn those elusive few remaining credits a week after my anniversary date?

I asked my colleague who was born in Jakarata about his views. He was bemused anyone would visit the city as a tourist destination for a few days. Where are you trending towards in terms of a destination ?

I'm finding KLM business class around those prices from KUL to CGK - timing means an evening in the hotel lounge would not be possible. Always so hard to book the perfect trip.

Never been to Indonesia so thought it might be something slightly different. I've been around Malaysia and can't think of where I'd want to go for a couple of days out of KL again. With the lack of Qatar Business Reward availability I decided to bite the bullet and spend some points on business...

We must be a demographic - I am going through the same consternations. Meeting friends in Singapore and have a couple of days in KL - then looking to spend 3 days somewhere in Sth East Asia. Considered Siem Riep but think I am landing on Jakarta.

SiN Qantas Club - first o/s trip since Covid. What's happened to the expresso martinis !!

That message suggesting the Dubai EK lounge was still not open for Qantas was playing on my mind. More comfortable flying back to Aus from LHR with the extra stop stop now.

This replicates my situation. It's unsettling, because it's nice to have the written confirmation. But exactly the same thing happened to me in October pre-Coronovirus. Worked out eventually but ohh the phone calls

I cancelled today for my flights to KUL via SIN which had been scheduled for tomorrow. I'd like to confirm the voucher will be issued so I've been on hold for 4 hours with the call centre. Interesting enough, my travel companion's flights were originally booked from a voucher that initially...

Yes but there's developments. Another chap on the same flight (10J on a 777) was denied apparently because of his soccer shirt. The stewards are going to pass on feedbackuptge line. The aircrew were at pains to state that the Qatar BKK lounge was operated on their behalf. I presume this is...
