    Actually I have made changes to OWA on both Twitter and Messenger with private messaging to Qantas. It often takes a while for them to reply but I found it easier than trying to do it verbally due to language and knowledge issues. The online team seem a bit more switched on and they will seek...

    Quick question are there any cons to starting a OWA booking from another country from where I am eventually hoping to depart? Example wanting MEL-BKK-AMM-FCO and returning home. I can see some seats from BKK-FCO and also some coming home from HEL-NRT should I grab them or does the...

    Thank you WilsonM I did see all those PE seats on JAL I shall look at that idea. Also I was going ask in general about JAL - the last time I booked a OWA in 2022 I found available seats on the JAL site and as they didn't show up on the QF site then called Qantas and one of the operators "found"...

    Thanks for those routes well done on getting them. I shall investigate esp via Sydney. Believe me I have spent many hours on this forum and after seeing such limited avails had decided to go with the paid Award Assist and now they are not taking any requests. I shall persevere however!
