    Qantas Multi City Search Error

    Having somewhat similar problem with searching flights via PC in the past few days. Never before had this problem, search engine freezes when finding available flights, either domestic or international, for either award or paid searches. Everything else works fine, qff account details, future...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    But if search for the two segments separately then business options are available. Nevertheless, when it comes time to book, the call centre saying that the route cannot start from Canberra (even if the seat is economy) - making sense to anyone ? Yes, I forgot to add on an initial domestic...

    Qantas putting A330s onto MEL-CNS on Saturdays

    Some nice changes and some not so happy faces. Using the A330 on any route except the shortest and less patronised is just a win-win. The 737's (and I fear the new A220 and 30's) are like catching the 405 Ventura into the city. An A330 to Cairns and back would be a big improvement over the 737's...

    Best Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance in the new COVID World?

    If taking out travel insurance, always read the T & C's carefully. They DO change. They ARE NOT the same for every underwriter. Try to think of every possible scenario which gives reason to taking out the insurance. Typically this would involve (a) medical costs (b) travel disruption costs...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    It seems to be a common block. Not a transparent one, which is very annoying when you spend hours doing your own investigations looking for award availability to present itself. The explanation I received from Reward Ticket Escalations was that the Revenue Management system can show different...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Fifi2207 weirdly ? I'd use other adjectives like, happily, greedily or unfairly. Out of curiosity, has anyone been able to smoothly upgrade to a J sector in a OWA booking when a seat becomes available, when the rest of the booking is already all J, without having to persist and call up to 100x?

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Yes, I just had the same response when I found a QF J seat available on the initial leg of a OWA itinerary. Everything is in J except the initial PE scetor. I asked to take up that J seat but was told, "that availability is only for a new booking." Annoying that QF can put that block in.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    It's quite confusing but I have been told that if a voucher (issued prior to the DSC period) is used in whole or part for a booking, it will NOT be eligible for DSC. If unpon discovering this, the booking is cancelled and a new voucher/credit issued, the original booking reference attached to...

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Amex MEL-BNE-CNS in Y are fairly comparable. MEL-BNE-MEL in J are not according to Lat34. The latter is a good DSC earn on the new A220 if it's in need or interest or suits travel timing.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Can someone put my mind at rest or alert me to making a cancellation and rebooking? I have made several bookings to take advantage of the DSC promotion and received ticket and confirmation almost immediately. One (the most important one) I made partly with a QF voucher (comp as an apology for a...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I personally don't care where agents are located, so long as they have the right tools to do the job properly (ie. why do non Hobart and Auckland centres have limited awards seat visibility?). This - doesn't matter where they're located tbh, as long as they're able to solve problems. Totally...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Thx elanshin. Pretty much as expected but nice to have it clarified. Finding T & C of OWA is not easy @ either QF or OW.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Thankyou AFF, you've been a great source but not until now do I have a burning question, so add me to your members. I have a OW award booking made and ticketed for Sept/Oct. I'm very happy with what I found, (thx to seats.aero too), mainly all sectors in J and the 318,000 max cut in. In...
