    Booking 2x Emirates First Seats via Classic Rewards

    I was in the same predicament for my Wife and I. I opted for one seat in F, one day apart under separate bookings. Worse case scenario we fly Syd-Bru via Dxb a day apart but am hoping closer to departure the extra seat will become available. Then just have to pay the 5,000 point booking change...

    Totally understand. I completed my first OWA in first a month ago, I had to concede my last leg in business (tokyo-bne) The only reason I suggested it is watching YouTube videos of QR first class the seat itself didn't look that much better to what I had experienced on CX and BA to warrant...

    I've had the same problem. Doing some research into qatar first class it doesn't actually look that great to be honest. I am leaning towards their business Q suites, so I have been looking at seats in J for planes that have the Q suite and found there's good amount of availability. Might be...

    VA and QF Plat. Now we choose one

    Seems a lot easier to reach status tiers with VA. When I used to fly domestically with them it seemed the whole front of the plane was at least gold. I like that it's harder to attain status with QF.

    First Class Oneworld RTW Award - your experience? was it worth it?

    No that's incorrect. I'm pretty sure it's an agreement between Cathay and AA as CX currently have no facilities to accommodate their first class passengers at JFK. I used your theory at LAX as i was travelling CX in first and was denied as I've read has happened to others. The way the AA Terms...

    First Class Oneworld RTW Award - your experience? was it worth it?

    I think it's because Cathay have no lounge at JFK and the first cabin is so small with CX (6 IIRC) so it's not a big load on AA. Tried to get into flagship first dining at LAX but failed lol

    First Class Oneworld RTW Award - your experience? was it worth it?

    Last month I got back from my first Oneworld award in first thanks to info from this site. Here's my experience: SYD-LHR on QF1 A380. Sydney F lounge is amazing, great food and massage. Great flights, food and seat, terrible service. LHR-JFK with BA 777. Concorde room is amazing, private...

    I have flights with cathay and BA in my rtw booking. I downloaded both their apps and entered the qantas booking number into both apps and can view all your flights for that particular airline and can change seats etc etc Just make sure you put the Initial of your middle name into the cathay app.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I found the easiest way to tell it's been approved without calling back is when you log onto the qantas app and look at your bookings, all your requests will be on there looking like actual bookings except for an orange tag that says 'on request' When it has been approved the 'on request' tag...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Not sure how familiar with the process you are but you are allowed to choose 3 dates around the time you want to travel, 1st 2nd and 3rd choice. For QF1 all of the dates came back saying yes meaning I could choose any one of them..

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    I had been watching it months earlier but did not check it before requesting. When I checked it months ago expert flyer was showing 9 available in first for most days except for one as i recall. Sorry, probably not that helpful.

    **Update** Got Hobart call centre last night, pleaded my case and managed to get on the same flight the day before on a 789-9 that has a small first class cabin. He agreed to waive the 6000 point change fee as it was not my fault. I cheekily asked to add some more flights to the booking to make...
