It was BA flight. I might be BA's way to get back at QF for keeping the Ashes ;)

Just between all of us here, I've just looked at my activity statement and I've received QFF points (over 7000) for one of the legs of a recent 318K trip. Have I just had an unexpected win or will they disappear someday?

I've just finished my 318K OWA trip. All went well until the last leg which made for a tiring finish but also showed the benefit of not accepting the first Qantas call centre's solutions. Itinerary was : SYD-BLR with Qantas BLR-LHR with BA (great J seats) FCO-HEL with Finnair (smaller planes...

Qantas and Cathay should allow you to pick your seats on their respective websites using your Booking Ref No. Not sure about AY, no go with BA.

Have you thought about a stopover or transiting through Bengaluru (Bangalore). Qantas fly direct to there from SYD and then you can BA it to Europe.

Trying to get into Latin America on OTW is a bit tricky on the Qantas web site, I tried years ago to get to MEX, could finally manage it via Barcelona with Iberia but getting the same errors when trying it from Australia. You may need to get creative getting J class to the US across the Pacific...

I wonder if this a recent change by Qantas re the school holidays. I transferred a pass to a friend about 2 months ago for our flight last Monday (1st day of school holidays). He linked the invitation way back then and it apparently appeared on his booking (so I was told but he's not real QF...

It would be a good idea, it gives you the flexibility to source alternate routes yourself and waiting x days for your points to get refunded chews in the seat availability. When I was on the phone I tried to get the agent to book my new itinerary but the seats I saw available on the Qantas site...

Cancelled 2 international reward tickets on May 31 over the phone. Points returned while I was on the phone to the agent so I could rebook immediately for next year. Taxes refunded on June 6 to Amex CC

I'm not far off cancelling my 2nd ticketed attempt at a RTW Business trip. First was in 2020, Covid hit and then my partner passed away after a short illness. Got everything refunded. Ticketed again for Sept this year travelling with my sister but the itinerary is too tight to risk failing a RAT...

Thanks, will give them a call, maybe I got one of the unaware agents.

It sure helped when calling to add legs to the itinerary, less than 5 minutes wait time and Qantas called back next day when there were some pricing confirmation to be done with other carriers. I did dummy bookings with my Bronze vs her Gold accounts and some flights were only available with...

I just finalized my RTW Classic Award itinerary with the last 2 legs booked over the phone. I added one leg last week with no change fee and one today with 5000 points per person change fee (2 travellers) so it seems we only get one bite of the apple.

Thanks, definitely has benefits calling the Premium Call Centre, answered in about 5 mins the other day when I called to add to our RTW itinerary, CPH-MAD and MAD-MEX. No charges thanks to the Oct 31 cutoff for changes. Qantas had to confirm prices with Iberia but called me back next day to...

Thanks. Just hope we're all flying in 12 months time. Pleasing thing so far is that I could go to the Cathay and Qatar websites and enter the Qantas booking Ref No and see our booking - including the option to select seats on Cathay and seat preference (aisle or window) on Qatar. After entering...

Yep, sigh of relief when they come through. The issue was that they had originally assigned a lesser point value to the booking than it should’ve been, about 25K points less. Moot issue as it’ll cap out at 318K once I finish my itinerary and the agent confirmed as such.

Thanks. Started the ball rolling the other day with an online booking. J class Sydney-Doha via Hong Kong for late June 2021. Few days in Doha then Doha-Moscow. Finalised the booking there until the next legs become available in 3-4 few weeks when I should be able to add to the itinerary free...

First time poster, after 12 months of obsessive QFF point collection, I'm ready for my 318K J Class booking for my partner and I - she is Gold FF. I've been doing dummy bookings and the Qantas web site provides the itinerary and taxes payable but I go no further. When should I expect to see...
