Bot said yes to 1xF released last October for SIN-SYD on QF2 for 20 Sep 23. Called within 3 days of flights becoming available

Early Oct 22 I had success in getting 1 SYD-SIN J QF1 12/9/23 and 1 SIN-SYD F QF2 20/9/23. These dates are either side of the Grand Prix weekend and I felt extremely lucky. Very friendly and knowledgeable Hobart agent set up the droid and QF2 came back with both J and F availability. The agent...

Success yesterday 2 x J SYD-LAX Wed 11 May

What date are you flying out? I’m flying SYD-LAX 5 May and could guest your father in law in 😊

As a Sydney based FF, this has been my recent experience of reward availability to the USA: 1. You have the choice of flying to San Francisco, Dallas or LA 2. LA can be direct or via Brisbane or Melbourne (points cost is the same) 3. Reward seats are released 353 days in advance at 10am...

Travelled to New Orleans on Wednesday and this is what happened: PNR 1 Mrs Nickor F reward SYD-LAX QF PNR 2 myself revenue J SYD-LAX QF (upgraded to F) PNR 3 both of us revenue F LAX-MSY AA At checkin I asked the agent to check our bags through to MSY. She was very apologetic but advised that...

I was referring to the post by Opusman, the last post when I started my reply. Will try to be quicker next time!

To get this back on topic... During July & August, I had 11 flights with QF. Of these, 5 were refreshment only flights. The other 6, I ordered gluten intolerant meals. Of those 6, the special meal wasn't loaded twice. Both of these occasions the meal was breakfast and I was travelling in J...

Precisely the reason why AusBT would want to avoid the possibility of having to apply for 8 permits from 6 states and 2 territories!

My understanding is that the "25 words or less" is used to avoid the need to apply for a permit to run a lottery/competition ie LTPS number disclaimer etc. and all the red tape and $$$ this involves. The idea being that chance has nothing to do with winning. The best/most appropriate entries...

Having no knowledge of these things, but as an accountant, I would expect that scanning boarding passes on entry has everything to do with charging your OneWorld partner and minor consequences for restricting access!

I've never thought to use the multi city tool for an award flight. I'll remember that for future. However, I did just try to book multi city for flights with seats available per EF but after selecting the flight for the first sector, the website returns an error message. Something to do with...

As an update to my post in the other thread, JFK does throw a bit of a spanner in the works. Neither QF or EF will show award seats to JFK from SYD or MEL. Not sure why but suspect it has to do with change of equipment at LAX. You can however find BNE-JFK award seats, with 2 J being released...

I should have clarified that I am PS, so as a WP you may see more availability on EF/QF. You are correct about work-arounds being available to you when booking. Not sure why the points for Y from CBR were giving such strange results. Too bad about the points restrictions. Maybe apply for the...

FM are you ticking the FIRST box as well when searching? In April I managed to book 2 J SYD-LAX-BNE-SYD and spent the weeks leading up to my preferred dates checking seat availablility on EF each morning at 10am. What I found was the following: 1. 1 F SYD-LAX Tues-Thurs on A380 2. 1 F MEL-LAX...

Don't let lack of status deter you Harpoon, with prior planning and persistence it can be done! The best value for your points is award travel in premium cabins (due to the taxes), then upgrades to premium cabins. I am also silver and over the last 3 years, I have made 20 upgrade requests for...

Sorry Buzzard, the rest all have people in them.

On Sunday night I had my last flight on the 767, the final 767 QF821 CBR-MEL, registration VH-OGM. There were announcements of the significance of the flight made in the QP, at the gate, by the CSM and the Captain. Most of the PAX seemed not to notice. With only 8 of us in J, I sat back and...
