Thanks for your response, but having read multiple threads on this site and listened to several podcasts, we may have success doing that if we were prepared to pay up to $4k each for a fully flexible economy one way ticket, then the cost of hotel quarantine on top of that, but that's a...

Thanks @MEL_Traveller, I agree that it's too early to tell. I've got my fingers crossed for a game changer. I have a pilot friend who flies for qantas and he advised that there are people coming back in on miles - whether theirs are unique situations I'm not sure. We on the other hand, are...

Thanks @Seat0B - we aren't in a desperate situation as we are with family - just missing the rest of our family back home. If we end up having to pay for our tickets back, I'll be sure to contact @madrooster for advice.

Thanks levelnine - that will be interesting to see if they do indeed refund our points given we are on a business class oneworld qantas classic flight award and more than half of the flights have been taken. Who knows - maybe they'll refund the entire 280K miles each (LOL). We've had quite a...

Thanks @RooFlyer - you're absolutely right - it's a very fluid situation and I would be better served being patient. We made a choice that put family over our chances of returning - we are lucky to have been with our family when we needed to be and are not in desperate straits to get home - I...

Thanks @roogirl - we did estimate on being away for a year and we left on the understanding that it was our choice to leave so we aren't in a desperate position as perhaps others trying to return might be. We have had this itinerary changed so many times thus I have no expectation of that...

I’m hoping that more knowledgeable minds than mine may be able to help me here – my husband and I are in the strange situation of currently being in the UK on business class oneworld Qantas classic flights – due to a family emergency. We are fully vaccinated. We’re booked to return to Australia...

Yes - they emailed mine within 10 minutes of the changes being made - I received the booking confirmation and the e-ticket Itinerary by email. Might be wise to ring them back and request your e-ticket?

Great news @kleoline - has the itinerary been ticketed yet?

I booked a 2021 flight for the start date and then dummy dates for each of the flights thereafter about two or three days apart given the flights I want for the end of next year are clearly not available. I discussed with the agent my plan to ring back when the flights I do want become...

It appears those of us who have managed to have our Qantas Classic OWA's deferred at the old 280K cost have been lucky. In my case, the agent wanted to cancel my whole booking but when I insisted that I didn't want to cancel and that it was Qantas who could not supply my previously booked...

As both myself and @kleoline have had success in verifying that our new OWA departure dates for next year mean we have 12 months from the new departure date to complete our itinerary at the original 280k mile cost, I would persist until you get an agent who knows what they're doing. Rebook...

As per my previous posts, I was able to push the departure date for our Qantas classic OWA award flights from June 2020 to late February next year with no penalty and 12 months from February 2021 to take the itinerary (which is currently 32,500 miles - still working on a small addition to...

To further update my posts on my Qantas Oneworld Classic Flight itinerary previously, I am very happy to report that after sitting on line for over 2 hours (no call back options offered this time strangely) I have had clarification from the agent who has stated categorically that I have 12...

For departure date conditions, the rules state: "14.6 Classic Flight Rewards - ticketing 14.6.1 Classic Flight Rewards will be valid for one year from the original ticketed departure date" Given the above, I'm wondering why they told you your ticket is only valid for 12 months from issue date...

This is an update to a post from a couple of days ago about a Qantas Classic Oneworld flight award I had booked back before the mileage increase last year. As advised, I spoke to a very helpful Hobart agent who suggested that in order to avoid having to pay the new increased mileage cost of...

I haven't tried yet - as per Celeste's advice, I'll wait until towards the end of May and hope to make a similar itinerary booking for say early next year. I'll book dummy dates (if possible) for the last half of the itinerary and change those closer to the date when flights become available. I...

In answer to your concerns: 1. Yes, from my understanding of pre-covid-19 rules, the flights are valid for a year from original ticketed departure date but in a situation where Qantas cannot supply the flights for the ticketed start date, I am hoping that the onus is on them to defer the same...

I’m posting this for the information of anyone who, like me, made a Qantas Classic oneworld J booking prior to the points increase in September last year. My husband and I were due to leave on June 1 on an extensive itinerary, including a three month stay in Toulouse to spend time with our son...
