Thanks, that's what I should have done a few months ago. Now I am very efficiently down to 2 points in my own account so that option is gone. Never mind, we have stopped chasing QFF points so losing them is not the end of the world.

I am about to change a classic award booking for Mrs Jaybeedee and me, and I need to top up points for the change fee . Mrs Jaybeedee has a few orphan points that expire at the end of this month, but less than the 5,000 needed for a family transfer. Has anyone had any experience with this. I...

Certainly nothing available in J around that time. I thought about Muscat as well, but the only award flights are either with Royal Jordanian (and loong layover) or with an 18hour layover in Doha on the AUckland route. Teh call centre are saying that as far as they are concerned flights have...

I think you are fine - just may be delays and general confusion, but Qatar will still be flying to those ports. My issue is going from Doha to the UAE.

Mrs jaybeedee and I depart this Saturday on a 280K oneworld award. In August we are returning, flying from Copenhagen to Sharjah on QR (via Doha) and then a few days later Sharjah to Auckland on QR via Doha.(We are visiting my brother who lives in the UAE). If the UAE ban on air travel from...

Like the OP, I have J rewards flights involving Qatar. I am not too worried about the physical danger - more about what happens with the disruption , as we are flying Qatar from Copenhagen to Sharjah, and then from Sharjah to Auckland (both via Doha). What happens to our flights if the UAE...

Thanks Matt, good info. Do you know how many in the fleet of each type - If there is a high chance of ending up on the old style, it might be safer to just go for row 2 or row 3 and be sure of having a good seat rather than risk having an old seat in the upper cabin. First world problem I know.

Thanks-I had been thinking that the old F seats wouldn't be better than the new J seats (I loved the A330-300 J seats BNE-NRT) - I hadn't twigged that the J seats might be old as well. It is an overnight flight so sleep is quite important. The seat map currently shows no row 4 in the lower...

Mrs jaybeedee and I are on QF25 to Haneda in June. Its a long time since I've been on a 747 and I am not sure that mrs jaybeedee has ever been in the upstairs cabin. Is there any particularly good or bad seats , or any particular reason to choose/avoid the upstairs cabin these days. Thanks

I'm feeling very positive about QF and even the call centre after my experiences, getting and then fine tuning my bookings (which are less than 100 days out). What I learnt: Get started and make bookings. What worked for me (but YMMV) was locking in some key sectors so I knew I could get to...

CSR couldn't book some CX sectors even though we could see them. Success! with a 280K/2Pax at short notice and getting pretty much all we wanted. AKL-SYD-HND...NRT-HKG-ZCH(in Y+)-MAD ...MAD-DUB...LHR-CPH....CPH-DOH...DOH-DXB-HKG-SYD-AKL A few more sectors than we wanted [that will teach us for...

quick question re transits: I suddenly realised I was going to fall foul of the 5 stopovers, so having to rejig my trip. If I book seperate segments with less than 24 hours between arrival/departure is that not counted as a stopover, or is it only segments thathave been put together by the...

I'm starting to build my itinerary with dummy bookings and I can get a reasonable anount of availability, but if I try and ticket it or go back to change dates I have to re-enter everything. How do people do the planning - just try dummy bookings for lots of individual segments and take notes...

I am travelling in J on a 717 to MEL-HBA tomorrow and then HBA-SYD on Sunday. I have had an email suggesting installing the QF Entertainment app (I'm Android, Mrs jaybeedee is an old iphone). I like the idea of a play list that I can pick up again on my next flight, but I hate disappointing...

Much much older. We went AKL-MEL and MEL-AKL a couple of weeks ago, and quite frankly I would consciously avoid the 737 if possible. Mrs Jaybeedee walked through the J cabin and said ""is that business class?". I thought the IFE was barely fit for purpose in 2016. Actually we will be have 4...

Is LTG worthwhile any more? I am stranded on LT silver (combination of QF not flying in New Zealand any more and my flying habits changed). I thought about doing a status run a while ago when there was a double SC offer to get me a year of platinum and up to LTG. I'm also sitting here with...

Thnaks pjm99au, much appreciated

Hi All outbound NZ30 27th March, AKL-EZE Return NZ31 8th April EZE-AKl Hoping to get two upgrades from Premium Economy to Business- a recognition upgrade plus a one-up from Premium Economy to Business (Mrs Jaybeedee prefers to stay together in PE rather than her taking the upgrade if we...

>>WOW, it really pays to live in NZ! Except Qantas abandoned NZ ten years ago leaving me stranded on Lifetime Silver and my membership basically useless! and maybe they didn't bother to link up the campaign to the IT systems so its hard to actually collect.

Did anyone else register for a ANZ Qantas Card DSC promoton in October. (It may just have been for New Zealand members). I've just done a bunch of flying and no double credits (or points not that they matter so much) have turned up. When I called the service centre the CSR said I hadn't...
