I may support/ answer your post honestly, we are going to the Harbin Ice Festival in Jan/Feb 19. As per my usual routine I book MrsM and MissM on points, no issues both of them in J ADL-SYD-PVG-HRB, ticketed and sorted.
When I made made my revenue booking MEL-SYD-PVG-HRB (work means we have meet in SYD prior to going to PVG-HRB) I did not care about the price I just wanted to be on the same aircraft and booked QF129 and QF4041, an MU code share. 12 weeks later no ticket and after many calls to QF and a couple to SST I was advised that this option was not available (although it is still being marketed and sold as I write this post). In the end, I was informed I can only get a paid J fare to HRB if the final sector is PVG-HRB was in Y and on the MU Flight Number, although paying QF J price, this is apparently to do with the QF/MU contract.
As a positive QF did back date the fare price and in the end we are all on the same flights just but 1 of us is not in the same cabin on the final sector.
Is this disappointing, yes, but it is a 3 hour Y flight which MrsM and I will draw straws on (I already know who will win) is it worth getting worked up over, I think not. I will argue the toss with QF for points and SC sometime next year.
I have gone seriously OT and into a rant. Apologies
Just wondering would this not constitute false advertising and would be a Fair Trading or ACCC issue
