I am often quoting IT consulting type work inclusive of travel, so like to minimize the cost while maintaining flexability and picking flights home that suit my family life. I also need to be very responsive to my clients, so often don't know exactly what days I will travel.
I have recently started making (K) bookings for multiple days when I may need to travel, and the night before that travel day, if I dont need to travel, I shift the booking a couple of weeks forward. (I used to do it a day earlier, but got caught out a couple of times and had to buy very expensive seats.) This means that Qantas have a fair bit of MYmoney in THEIR account, but I dont get stuck paying for maximum price economy or missing out on my preffered flights, or possibly the only appropriate flights. Seems to be a good deal to me.
So my question is - Do Qantas frown on this sort of behavior? Will I get a rude shock one day and find out that I have made too many changes to a single flight booking after reaching a limit on numbers of changes?
Does any body else do this?
The only risk I see of using this buying strategy is that if forget to make the change, I end up paying for the flights.
Cheers,
Paul.
