I’m hoping that more knowledgeable minds than mine may be able to help me here – my husband and I are in the strange situation of currently being in the UK on business class oneworld Qantas classic flights – due to a family emergency. We are fully vaccinated. We’re booked to return to Australia in mid January 2022 (flying Cathay Pacific) - we couldn’t get permission to leave Australia unless we advised we would be away for quite some time. I note we left voluntarily and don't expect special treatment getting home. Having said that, we didn't foresee that Australia's vaccination rollout would be quite so glacially slow.
Does anyone have any idea what our chances will be on returning at that time? The one year timeframe for these tickets is mid February 2022 but our worry is that we might be bumped from the flight as we’re only quantas points passengers as opposed to full fare paying individuals. Does Qantas have an obligation to honour our return tickets, given they were paid for with points, if those caps are still at a low level?
Does anyone have any thoughts?
