Change JASA (Sydney-AKL) for EKK F upgrade potential.

[Colster]

So am needing to travel to AKL in April. Looking to get a JASA and then change the flight to the A380 EKK QF service to use points to upgrade to F.

a couple of questions.
1. How easy is it to change departure day and time of a JASA?
2. What do you think the chances of an F points upgrade from a JASA will be? Is it even possible?

Am a WP if that helps.

You can't use QFF points to upgrade on EK.

You can't use QFF points to upgrade on EK.

Not to mention the codeshares are not on offer as rewards.

Thanks all... That sorts that out.

But if I manage to find a JASA how flexibly can you move them...am thinking of finding out say in May and then moving it to the day I want to travel in April. Sorry about the newb comments.

The only JASAs on offer are the point plus pay ones which map back to the fare rules of the ticket

You could try looking for a classic award, I believe you can book those in F (although I could be wrong).

They book in the EK code.

If you book a JASA (on a QF operated flight, so no A380) generally they're fine to re-date but still require reward availability for the new date - so I can't see the benefit of booking then re-dating over waiting until you know the actual travel date.

If it's a classic award it doesn't really matter what the booking code is, since you're not earning points/SCs anyway.

They do for the current points refund promo of course, not that its much incentive being 4000 back from 52000 spend.
