I have a Qantas classic rewards booking for myself from Frankfurt to Melbourne with the following legs:
1. Frankfurt to Hong Kong with Cathay in First
2. Hong Kong to Melbourne with Cathay in Economy (all that was available at the time of booking)
I've just found that a Business reward seat for the second leg is now available. I called Qantas to change the second leg from Y to J, but they advised that I would have to re-book the entire itinerary. However, this is not possible as there are no longer any classic reward seats available for the first leg - in F or otherwise.
The only option I've been offered is to cancel the itinerary, hope that the seat on the first leg returns to availability and then re-book. Seems a bit risky to me!
Does this sound right? Are there other options I haven't considered?
Sorry if this has been addressed before - if so, my search skills are clearly lacking!
Thanks
