I'm new to this but hopefully someone out there can help.
I am going to Auckland in July to see the British Lions v All Blacks Test. I need to book a flight for myself and a travelling companion yet to be decided.
This is the problem I may not know whether my wife or a friend is coming until as late as May by when the flights will be very full or very expensive. With tickets and accom already paid for I need to get them out there.
Someone at Qantas suggested the only way will be to book a FF flight (availability ok at the moment) and therefore I can change the name of the person on the booking for a penalty.
However after more investigation this may not work as it is seen by QF as queue jumping and they may not be able to give the new Pax the FF award flight. Therefore I would be back to square one.
Any suggestions? Do I just gamble and book the award flight? If so should I change it early or just before the day if I need to? Any other ways?
Thanks for any help with this. :?
