No, if there is only 1 available then only 1 will ticket. Only strategy I could really suggest is book 1 in First and 1 in Business and then keep and eye to see if they release 1 more First seat closer to departure. Pay the change fee of 5000pt+fare difference if one becomes available, if not...

The 318k point capped award is not a RTW booking. It is a Oneworld Award. a RTW booking is a cash ticket with requirements to travel in a certain direction.

I'd recommend doing as RooFlyer has said. A concise email to the CCO which outlines your unacceptable experience. You may get a reply, you may not. Send one email and expect that to be it. I had a similar problem in 2022. Cancelled an award ticket to re-book a different itinerary, did this via...

All good info, but I wasn't referring to compensation, I was referring to your right to choose between Reimbursement, re-routing to your final destination, or re-routing at a later date under EU261 in the event of cancellation. Article 5 and Article 8. The operating carrier is also supposed to...

In this specific case with AY wouldn’t EU261 apply? European airline flying into Europe.

I’ve found the same. Found two flights in J for a friend in July/August ’24. Aus to IST and LHR to Aus without any dramas. Booked on the day of release. Each day had about 4 options for airports. Looking for two for myself Europe to Aus in October, checking every day at release, nothing over...

What I consider strange about the whole thing is QF appear to be releasing J awards to partners, but not their own members. Pretty much the opposite of other FF Programs. I was fiddling with some routing the other day and using AA to search for flights via Japan to avoid JQ showing up. SYD -...

Confirmed is all well and good, but make sure there is a ticket number attached. Qantas starts with 081-***** Make sure there is one for each passenger. There won't be an error in your favour. The right amount of points will eventually come out, unless ticketing hasn't been done properly. If...

Great advice, thanks. It was Cathay who confirmed it would be covered if the flight was officially cancelled, so that makes sense.

I was very lucky. The flights were put back into the schedule at the end of March with an aircraft change. They have been back on sale for a while and look to be going ahead. September 10th out of Madrid 1682591845 I also confirmed that due to the flights originating in Europe that EU261 would...

There's Istanbul - Singapore - Sydney on the 9th of October. 15hr layover. Booked through Krisflyer only. It's the higher 'Advantage' rate, so it would take 259,000 Velocity points. 1 seat only.

There's 1 seat - Frankfurt - Doha - Singapore on the 6th of Oct in J, but you'd have to buy a revenue SIN-BNE in economy to get to Brisbane. There's 1 seat Singapore - Sydney through Krisflyer on the 9th Oct in J, but you'd have to transfer from Velocity to Krisflyer and cop the 1.55 exchange...

3 or 4 calls and 8/9 weeks? you've been spoiled - just you wait until Qantas takes 4 months and 47 calls to refund your taxes 😂

I would recommend calling Virgin Money. My name showed as my correct name, in the right order, in the rewards portal when the unsuccessful transfer occured. After fixing it my name now shows as Surname, Mr, Name. She said on her end there are First Name, Surname, and title fields. I think...

Ugh, my first 25k for the Virgin Money Flyer card was 'Rejected' on transfer because my whole name was in the Surname field on Virgin's end and First Name was empty, so it was a name mismatch. Lovely lady on the phone fixed it up and assured me I'll get the points next cycle. I honestly can't...

I selected the benefit 6 weeks ago and still no email, but the confirmation appeared instantly on my velocity. I'm assuming there was some issue with the emailing at the start and I'll still qualify. I applied for a card and have made the minimum spend, will see what happens when the points...

Selected the benefit 4 weeks ago yet still no e-mail. I've contacted Velocity to confirm I will be eligible for the bonus points given the benefit select page states "Hey *****, you selected 30,000 bonus Points* on 13/02/2023 - Now, it's time to choose your credit card with an annual fee" I...

Flew home in J on QF62 from HND to BNE on Thursday. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of it, but I had the worst meal I have ever been served on a plane (economy included). It was a 'Brioche with Fried Chicken and Chipotle sauce' that was the size of two fingers. The fried chicken was...

I understand where you're coming from, but I respectfully disagree. I think it's a fair bit greyer than that. Original ticket was valid. OP Never received a new valid ticket under EU261. A PNR doesn't count as a valid reservation and ticket. Which is what OP was entitled to under EU261. I'd...

I get what you're saying, but EU261 still applies to the original ticket. AF Indeed did attempt to reaccommodate, and QF failed to ticket. So OP has no longer been reaccommodated and still requires a remedy under EU261. QF Failing to ticket doesn't get AF off the hook, they still have an...
