Back in the day I was WP / partner gold etc. Now I'm stranded on lifetime silver but silll sitting on 700K points.
Planning a business cabin trip to Europe with Mrs JayBeeDee next year departing Auckland.
When I go onto the QF site there are next to no business awards available even 350 days out.
My recollection of when I was WP is that I just rang the call centre, said I was after an award booking fro 2 pax in business to Paris on the dd of mmm. The next day they rang back and confirmed.
My question is should I do a circle pacific status run to get myself up to WP which would also take me close to lifetime gold.
Will that help getting award booking requests approved?
Alternatively if I put together a oneworld itinerary and phone the callcentre is there any chance of getting something put together with a human on the other end, rather than trying to battle with the website booking engine. I did something similar a few years back with oneworld airlines and managed it but there were still a few constraints. Any tips or experience welcome.
Thanks
