redeem points

Just looking to book 2x redemption seats for MEL/LAX, but notice there is zero availability one year out. I don't have Velocity status so maybe the plats and golds have snapped them up. There are some partner airlines with viability (via Singapore or Doha) with long layovers and eyewatering...

On enquiring of Qantas I get a response that indicates all e tickets are queued whether paid flight that are changed by Qantas or redemption flights where Qanats initiated a change. Our reality is that it takes 3 or even 4 phone calls weeks after the change has been effected to obtain a new e...

Can anyone advise if I should expect to have KrisFlyer lounge access in Singapore on a SQ redemption flight as Velocity Gold status? I’m looking to redeem flights directly with SQ, but because of this, I can’t attach my velocity FF number at the booking page - will I still have lounge access by...

Hi, First time poster. I have a honeymoon planned for Next year and have Transferred points to Asia Miles when they had a 15% bonus. I am wanting to travel from Paris to Bangkok. Ideally via Helsinki as Finnair has a direct HEL - BKK flight however availability is limited, so thinking of going...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else having the same issue. I was able to choose seats from a Qantas classic reward booking until very recently when I manage my booking from Cathay I am no longer able to alter my seat selection and instead get this message. “Seat selection is not available...

A friend needs to go see her granddad in the UK as he has terminal cancer. She is strapped for cash and couldn't really afford to go. So I offered to buy her the tickets using points. Of course this is happening in the peak travel time (July) so there were hardly any availability. Found economy...

Looking at a PER-SIN-LHR journey using points PER-SIN is available SIN-LHR is available PER-SIN-LHR is not available So I can book it individually, but obvious want to book it as 1 booking so less points used, going to phone up tomorrow to see if this is possible to do Anyone had this...

Hi! I'm looking to book 2 x J redemption next Feb for MEL - SIN - DAD - SIN - MEL. When I selected my flights, all legs were available for selection - except I encountered an error message before I could make payment. While the booking was not ticketed, I could see it reserved in my portal...

I regret to have to moan about a not-so-good predicament I now find myself in regarding my SQ redemption booking. This is a prolonged saga so I will get on with getting down the details. 1. Originally I booked an F redemption from MEL-HKG-SFO for June of this year about 11 months in advance...

How do I redeem Enrich points with another oneworld airline? Have not been successful with their call centre

I'm trying to use my Asia Miles (expiring soon) to book 3 x J seats out of SYD In particular - trying to book SYD - KTM (one way) in Feb / Mar 2024 I can see availability for 2 x J seats (with MH via KUL) but nothing at all for 3 seats... so I'm trying to figure out what's the best way to...

I have just redeemed Velocity points for a shorthaul Etihad business class flight AUH-MCT. Cost: 18,000 Velocity plus AUD 265 The retail cost of this flight is apparently AUD 2,306. So I got $2,041 value for 18,000 points. That makes 11.3c per Velocity point. That must make this one of the...

Has anyone ever managed to redeem Velocity Points successfully on HA? I found some saver seats, both showing on HA and AA for redemption (HNL-HND). Called VA up today - and they couldn't even see the flight loaded into their system, let alone availability in J. I asked them why this is, and...

Hi all - was looking at flights today and noticed what appeared to be an improved display of both paid and reward availability including both economy and business... Certainly makes it easier to see which flights have the lowest priced Bus. Class seats!

Trying to book DFW-LHR for 4 pax in whY in June using QFF points and the QF site (one-way and multicity) shows nothing. AA shows plenty of availability as does the JAL site (although that doesn't seem straightforward for a new member these days). Does this mean that the seats can't/won't be...

Hi Brains Trust, Apologies if this has been asked before. I've been scouring the community and I'm tripping over myself with the different responses. I know rewards seats are released around 330 days out, so I think that's the first place I went wrong. I used to be a travel agent and waaaay...

Sick of my QFF points sitting there gathering dust, so I took advantage of the gift card sale they had. Fiancee works for Apple so we get a pretty hefty discount, and I needed a new Mac for the business so got enough gift cards to cover what I was after. 3 days later, still haven't had them sent...

Evening all - wondering if anyone has successfully redeemed a Business Reward Seat on United using VA points? I'm looking for May (I know, probably way too late - but I can hope). Out of interest I've looked months ahead as well and can see nothing. Do they exist?!

A question regarding upgrades: Say there is business class Classic Rewards availability for both legs of a return flight from Sydney to Bangkok. If instead of redeeming my points for this trip, I instead buy an upgradeable cash fare, am I guaranteed an on-the-spot upgrade with points when I...

If I may, I'd like to raise this from the QR FF thread to the consciousness of a wider AFF audience. (@boojah , @blingy90 ) Any ideas? It seems that over the years other airlines have had similar problems - see my links in thread The complicating but common denominator is the partner airline...
