    Thanks for all the advice. Outcome is I have a new connecting flight ticketed after taking the following actions: 1. Emailed the new rewards booking escalating email twice, first time was 5 days ago - no response at all. 2. Contacting Qantas by messenger - got an unhelpful reply after one day...

    Hi all, I was advised that our OWA JAL flight HEL-HND (in Aug 23) has been rescheduled to a day later which means the connection HND-SIN will be missed. I have accepted the change we can work around this but do I just wait now to see if they reschedule the connecting flight? Or do I need to...

    It has been 5 days since all this happened @cjd600. Still no new e ticket number from Qantas but all flights listed in CMT with correct timings and old e ticket number. Flights are all still listed in CMT including MH flights so if they haven't dropped off after 5 days I'm hoping this means I'm...

    Seeking advice on ticketing for OWA already booked if anyone is able to help. Received email from Qantas advising changed landing time for a Finnair Flight (pushed back 15 mins from 1.45pm to 2pm, take off time remains the same). Accepted change via link in email from Qantas but no new e-ticket...

    Yes @Warragul, there is a ticket for all flights in CMT and taxes have all been paid but the full number of points for the OWA ticket have not been taken out. Only the 281,000 points per ticket for the initial flights booked have been taken, not the additional points for the return flights that...

    I have a OWA flight booked and ticketed for March 2023. I added the final flights over the phone in Sept 2022 (I won't go in to that drama) and the extra taxes were paid and new e-ticket received. However the extra points have still not been taken so in effect I have a OWA ticket for around...

    I have called Qantas (more times than I care to recall) to have an additional flight added to a ticketed award booking. These are the first few flights on what will end up a OWA booking but so far the itinerary hasn't reached the 318,000 points. Finally have the internal EU flight added to...

    No the original departure date never changed. There was obviously an error coning up that the agents couldn't resolve and I didn't have the mental resolve or energy to fight anymore after many phone calls to many agents so gave up and booked flights home on a separate booking :(

    Thanks for the reply, I assumed this meant the actual original departure date of the first flight, not the date the original departure was ticketed. What am I missing here? I have already made similar changes to a different OWA where I added on return flights that were more than one year after...

    So after 6 calls, 3 hours on the phone, 4 HUACA, and 2 apparently competent staff I finally have my OWA e- ticket with return flights added. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself until I noticed the extra points have not been deducted from my account (extra taxes have been paid). Should I be...

    I made the call to add return sectors to my existing OWA booking today and as expected things went a bit haywire. The first staff member sounded like she knew what she was doing and all seemed to be going well with all the flights I had planned available. Then she said there was an issue with a...

    I've been researching for months and I'm almost ready to book OWA commencing in March/April 23. I've been trialling lots of options in Qantas multicity bookings and have a question about surface sectors. I know they are allowed and must be counted in total miles. Is there a limit on the number...
