Cathay Pacific booking classes

I've a Qantas classic reward booking on CX BNE-HKG that's showing on my bookings page as earning 4950 Qantas points and 30 SC
My later HKG-SIN leg on CX doesn't indicate any earn, but even as Points Club Plus I wouldn't have expected any earn.

Does anyone know if this will stick as a (likely) bank error?

Unlikely but keep quiet if it does! 😂 Stranger things have happened.

We have an upcoming CR booking CX to QF and only the QF sector is showing PC earn.

did you by anychance have some sort of complicated award ticket and have it cancel/reappear later?
 
@elanshin Booking has 5 sectors, doesn't return to origin, 3 airlines, and a "gap" in the middle when I'm flying SQ on another ticket....

But I booked online so can't be that complicated!

(Weirdly if I added the domestic leg at the end to city of origin, it crashed out... but this isn't the Qantas IT gripes thread)
 
Personally I would take CX at that price, unless you have status that can guest 2 people at SIN.
I missed the boat with CX airfare. I had it ready to book for $2500 but hesitated a few hours and it went up to $3100 at which point there is no rush but is now available for $2970 on Booking dot com.

Wife is Velocity Platinum and I'm Gold so we have lounge access for 3 everywhere but I agree with you that lounge access is nothing special.

I also noticed that Velocity awards on SQ are ridiculously priced in recent times so no incentive to Accumulate Velocity points.

I'm in 'E' Class - Premium Economy PER-HKG-HND, does anyone know whether this just earn the 'Flexible Economy Rate' because it's the lower fare bucket?

IME, I flew from MEL-HKG-ICN with MEL-HKG in E premium economy earlier this year. It does indeed earn at flexible economy rates (rather than premium economy). You'll lose a few points, but at least the SC earn is the same.
