    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I’ve been trying to amend an award booking for a few days now. Short call waiting times are somewhat helpful, especially considering my last time seeking assistance we were experiencing wait times of 5+ hours. I guess my request was somewhat complicated, needing to check availability for new...

    Thanks. I figured this may be the case, however it makes no sense to me how flights are available to some and not others. I ended up booking the flights on a separate PNR anyway, I guess I’ll have to cancel and try again. Thanks for the insight.

    Anyone have any success following CSR not seeing availability despite the flights being bookable on QF? I am trying to add flights to an existing booking but being told there is no availability for some sectors. I’m willing to ring back but worried it’s a waste of time if the flights are really...

    QSuites Question

    I’m a victim of these changes unfortunately. Flying NRT - DOH at the end of August. When I booked it was showing QSuite configuration and has recently changed to 2-2-2. It’s disappointing but nothing we can do really.

    Below is the J Class flight I am trying to add to my existing OWA booking as explained earlier. I have spoken to 3 separate CSR's from the Fiji call centre and none have been able to assist, stating that JL won't allow it. I am at a loss to explain why this is happening other than it's too...

    Yes, sorry, CFU is correct. The transit is 2 hours, so no problems there. I know the domestic J class is a little different, however I believed the mere fact that it is designated as 'J class' would match with the OWA rules. Thanks for your input, I'll try again and see how I go.

    Just got off the phone to QF. I am trying to add a single flight to a OWA and was told that JL would not allow it. My last 2 sectors of the current booking are CDG-HND * HND-SYD. I have another stop available and wanted to include OKA (Okinawa) in my itinerary. Following a stop in HND from...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    4 hours on hold. Get through to OS call Centre. Explain my situation. I’m put on hold so he can investigate. 30 minutes goes by and I receive the QF ‘thank you for your call, have a nice day’. The end. Horrendous customer service.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Thanks. I don’t know if you remember but I’m the OP of this thread from 2016? https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/award-booking-cancelled-without-notice.77731/ Looks like it’s round 2, this time with 5 hours of call waiting.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I am back on hold again after adding additional flights to an award booking a few nights ago. I saw the new flights in ‘my bookings’ and figured everything was ok. Checked this evening and my QR flights have disappeared. Hopefully a quick resolution but nothing seems to be simple these days with QF.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Thanks for this but didn’t work for me. I got through after about an hour wait. They couldn’t authenticate my QFF number and therefore couldn’t help me with my booking. The number was described by the operator as a front desk for last minute ticketing for QF staff. Not sure if this will help...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I worked last night as a shift worker and during the night made 3 attempts to contact the call center. The times I called were 1230 am, 330 am and 530. I was not able to stay on the line long for any of the calls. Interestingly, the 330 am call said wait time was 1 - 2 hours and the other 2...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Called at 645 this morning. Call back offered stating wait time is over 2 hours. I was about to try and call back but thought I'd check here first and see that this is typical of calls today. The wait continues. Crossing my fingers that the flights I am after will still be there when I...

    A OWA is one of the best use of points for a QFF, would you not agree? It makes sense that QF would try to extract some of that value away from the customer in their time of need. Raise points required, raise taxes, take away availability. All of a sudden it becomes too hard and I’m buying a...

    Similarly, I believe my issue, where taxes for flights are nearly doubled after being added to a OWA itinerary, is QF gouging customers who have had it too good for too long. Wasn’t the increase in points for Award bookings meant to be offset by reduced taxes?
