That was pretty much the scenario I had in mind. As well as a 5th point, only travelling on awards, no revenue fares. As well as the scenario mentioned up-thread (quoted here) I was only just pondering the flexibility of having separate PNRs but others have shed more light on the pros and cons.

So the gist I get from the replies so far, if flying on points, and no connecting segments then maybe there's something to be said for separate PNRs. I guess I was only thinking of the situation where there are several days between flights.

I typically book my air travel on a single PNR, working out each leg & booking online when I know each date and airport. But I find it's a hassle when you just need to change 1 element...say you quite like a city and you want to change the day you fly. Or you've booked a Y classic reward seat...

Interesting @Seat0B I've just been through the exact same exercise. Same destination, same seat wish. Granted though, I was looking late Feb into March. I found 1 CR late Feb (I think it was 25th) on the SYD-HND leg. This was on Monday when there was a huge flurry about the announcement...

The point most of us are making is that CR to those popular destinations are rare. In your case, you got lucky! QF dropped a whole heap of CR Sunday night to various destinations (I personally have been looking for SYD - HND return in Feb/Mar next year) and plenty of CR seats became available...

Noooo! Please, your crystal ball is cloudy. But yeah, cynical me reckons this might be the future too.

Awesome Ian. That's great. Daily is fine for my needs. I was going to get into coding a c# utility using the API but if the check is daily or even every 2nd day that should be fine for my needs. My coding skills aren't up to scratch anyway!

OK, next question. My alerts have been set up and in my confirmation email it says "Once we find availability, we'll send you an email and then delete the alert. If we don't find any availability, you won't hear from us again. Remember that we only check for availability periodically." Does...

I just signed up with a 30% discount using code LUCKYDAY. I'm keen to set up some QFF alerts about a year out so I hope their software works! EDIT: Trying to set up my first alert and I keep getting the message "The alert you tried to create would already match an available flight. Please...

They're only for domestic lounges?

Quite normal. I'd say you're booking too close and should've started looking Dec or Jan. Also premium Y is quite high in demand so those get snapped up pretty quick along with J. And as many threads and discussions have mentioned, rather than QF releasing classic reward seats 353 days out, they...

Hmmm, thats what I was afraid of. Well, that is weird because if I go onto my QFF account and view my lounge invitations there is most definitely a 'cancel' button adjacent to my linked passes. So they clearly can be unlinked. But really my OP was asking if I could do that cancellation just...

Scenario: Flying in Y. I have lined up (booked, whatever it is called) a couple of QF lounge passes. All good. If I rock up to the check-in counter "Hey, any J seats available?". "Oh yes Mr Mizzum, I have upgraded you & Mrs Mizzum to business, that will be xx_ points." Yay! But that gives...

I have often found the same. What I usually discover, maybe not in your case, is that as I scroll down looking for that flagged reward seat, it's often on an undesirable flight, such as dodgy time or a flight with 1 or 2 stopovers, perhaps with a partner carrier. Else, yeah its just some...

Another example of good customer service...this morning I needed to ring QF again just to follow up a credit of points from a cancelled flight done last Monday (the cancellation, not the flight, lol). Points hadn't arrived back in my account. Got though to Sth Africa (can tell by the accent)...

I have had reason to call Qantas on the 131313 number a few times over the past few weeks. Just checking on things - a few specific questions regarding bookings I have. Some changes etc. Not only did I get straight through to a CS rep each time (no waiting, like what??) but they handled each...

Thanks @dairyfloss and @bussyboy . Exactly the answer I was after.

Although this thread title is for Qantas newbies, I'm not. But I do have a newbie question as I've never done this before. So I am booked Y to HND later in Feb using QFF points (me and Mrs Mizzum). Last year I submitted an upgrade request. That is sitting there until I receive notification...

I have read some chatter about this over on Whirlpool. I've had the free-for-life Citi card since the late 1990s. Over that time it has morphed (for me) into the Premier card. Currently still FFL but I am expecting a Citi email any day now...I guess these changes are in preparation for the...
