I have been waiting a while to see if any of my travel plans line up with possibly having the opportunity to fly on the Dreamliner.
Today I was looking ahead to later in the year where I may have an opportunity to book the Dreamliner (MEL-SYD) on a Saturday. I found this booking on the Qantas booking page and I am considering booking a Classic Award in Star Class.
I understand that there may be an equipment swap and I may end up on an A330, this has Star class so basically it would be J* just getting me from MEL-SYD and C'est la vie, I miss out on the Dreamliner.
What I am wondering is if this flight is cancelled, what do you think will happen? Given that not every J* plane has Star Class will I just get shuffled onto another flight and the points difference will be refunded? or something else?
I do need to be in Sydney preferably on Sat afternoon and at the very latest on Sun am (very early) so while I am looking at a "joy flight" I do need to be in town for a function. So I can't wait to travel on another day and as it is if I am to make the non-compulsory Sat night function I will be hoping that the flight is more or less on time.
I understand for this flight I shall go to MELi departures, boarding pass with a D sticker, security, etc.
Before anyone jump's up and down accusing me of just doing an FLounge run I am only a SG so no chance. Really, and truly, this is about my chance to go on the Dreamliner.
I have read other threads about JQ35, and the other JQ Dreamliner runs but if there is anything else I should know before booking this feel free to let me know.
