Anyway of convincing QF to move an award seat?

[dajop]

Currently have two award J tix booked (since May 24) flying MEL-SYD-FRA-etc next month, with QF5 SYD-FRA via SIN.

I noticed tonite that QF5 is showing J0 C0 DO from SYD-SIN and SYD-FRA (with some seats open from SIN-FRA). I also noticed that QF9 from MEL-SIN that same night is showing J9 C9 D9. Is there anway I could convince QF to move the two seats to fly MEL-SIN direct instead of via SYD, without charging me 5,000pts + extra $100 in taxes?

If they did, that would put 2 J seats back into the inventory for them to sell from SYD-SIN. For me, it doesn't make a huge differencegoing via SYD (not worth paying the penalty, particularly the extra taxes, to go direct from MEL)., but you'd think occassionally they could bend the rules when it's a win-win for both parties.

I doubt it. Maybe QF might consider it if it is the same 1 week out from your flights but unlikely this early.

I doubt it as well.

It makes sense. You know QF are going to struggle with that!

At your request, its unlikely to happen, no matter how much sense it makes.

If it was their request for you to change, then you would probably be presented with a done deal and little choice.

I think you would have more success asking them to move a mountain.
