Thanks for your thoughts. Sometimes you just get overexcited and stop thinking clearly, but after a good night's sleep I saw sense and cancelled it.

Sorry to necro this thread, although I would appreciate some thoughts about a similar situation. My partner and I need to get from DRW to SIN (one-way). The simple option is to book SQ Y, a straightforward 5 hour flight, for $1550. Earlier today I unexpectedly found 2xJ seats for MEL-HKG for...

Not as great as some of the others on here, but was successful last week as a WP on SYD-PER and PER-SYD (red-eye) from Flex Y to J. 10,900 points each way and managed to get a few hours sleep so worth it for me.

Just an additional data point - I reached exactly 500SCs from a Points Club classic rewards flight on 28 Dec (three days before the end of my year on 31 Dec). But by the time the flight posted in January, the loyalty bonus counter had reset on the website so I couldn't select my reward. Took a...

I don't have first hand experience but JQ's policy seems to be to through check if it is both a partner airline and booked on the same PNR. However, China Airlines isn't listed so I suspect you'd have to collect the bag in DPS. https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/articles/baggage-transfers

Thanks, I suspected that might be the case. I'll finalise my plans in mid-April so will have another look then but not getting my hopes up. Otherwise I'll just have to slum it in Y for a few hours! Don't have much by way of Velocity/Singapore unfortunately.

Tried my luck as a WP for the first time requesting 2xJ seats on MEL/SYD - SIN in June (and return in July) last week. No luck for either request. The phone consultant advised that there was a 'hard block' for the outbound flight in June and couldn't even make a request (despite EF showing I9)...

I can see it on my profile too with an expiry date of 31 July 2024, which doesn't align with my membership year (ends 31 December). I am currently WP and have requalified (at least) SG this year so it doesn't look like it's linked to my status.

I transited DPS a couple of months ago on a single (JQ connecting to 3K) booking. If your bag has been checked through to SIN and you hold your connecting boarding pass, there is a transit desk / security screening point just before the immigration counters (head straight rather than turn right...

Thanks all for your comments. I will get in touch with Jetstar through the online chat and maybe call Qantas too to see what they can do. Cheers.

Hi All Not sure if this is the right place to post (mods, please move if not) but was hoping to get some help for cancelling flights and receiving a refund / flight credit for compassionate reasons. My partner had booked the following flights over Easter: DRW-MEL on JQ (Starter fare using...

Have booked DRW-BNE-MEL return in J which should accrue 560SC ($2,827 @ $5.05 per SC). Not the best deal compared to others on here, but need to be in MEL for work anyway.

Thanks, I suspected that sadly that may be the case. (Sorry, should have posted it in this thread to start with!)

Hi all Did a quick search but couldn't find anything concrete so hoping someone knows the answer! Currently looking at a potential trip on QR from SIN-DOH (J) connecting to DOH-CAI (Y). I believe we can have access to the new Gold/Platinum lounges based on Oneworld rules (arriving on a...

Terrible news. My partner and I are booked on BKK-ARN-LHR in February on separate tickets (one cash, one points). Hoping we now won't be separated. So far I've been re-routed to BKK-HEL...but the ARN-LHR hasn't changed yet so I have 25 minutes to get from HEL to ARN!

I don't think there's a right answer for this one, since it's so dependent on various factors (which routes you usually travel, how frequently, what benefits you use, etc). For someone in Leon Loganathan's position I can see why his approach would make sense, especially as he's based in DRW...

I've been unable to make FF changes on the AY or QR websites for a few years now - I can make changes, but it never sticks to the booking. I've taken to using the RJ website - not sure if it can change reward tickets but may be worth a go.

Hi All Have been playing around with the Amex Travel site over the last day or so looking at some options for a trip to SE Asia in August. Just hoping to confirm from people's previous experiences that: - The DSCs will apply for bookings on the Amex Travel website? (I think so, as travel...

Hello, Do you think I would be entitled to ORC in the following scenario? I was booked on a ticket that routed me from CGK-SYD-MEL-CNS. QF later changed the MEL-CNS flight time so that it departed before my incoming SYD-MEL flight and advised me to contact the call centre. Upon doing so (about...

I believe so. A lot of partner flights do not provide any status credits (or FF points for that matter). For example, QF will only award points / SCs for fare classes KLMV and above, this means that nothing will be earned on flights booked into fare classes SNQTOWG. These situations are not...
