QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

[HirafuHeartAttack]

HKG flights have been rammed in my experience. I was on a J flex on a recent flight. Even Y was full

Can agree with this. Outbound at the start of school hols was probably 90% full but return mid July was jam packed!

 

[I love to travel]

Got Bne to Nrt released 352 days out. Business sale was on website but interestingly was not the cheapest sale fare for that week. 3 "I" seats was in Expert flyer when I made the call. Overseas call centre but she knew what she was doing.

In March as SG, after a few HUACA calls we were very fortunate to get a competent agent who sorted our QF 30 as involuntary re route for late September when KLM flights changed and didn't meet MCT.
Hope you have some luck with it @Cessna 180.

Interestingly, I had another email overnight asking me to contact them regarding my recent request. From past experience I ring them and they just politely inform me it has been declined. It is still showing on the APP as 'on request'.

Sitting in the PER lounge waiting for my cancelled flight to MEL.
Perhaps I could ring them from here, walking around and yelling very loudly into my phone insisting they review my request!

As a Platinum, I've never been offered a manual review when the "bot" has rejected my request!

No surprise, manual reviews are unavailable to WP - has always been the case. P1 only.

WP requests were manual once upon a time - before the bot was introduced (which I think was around late 2019/early 2020?)

I think many people were/are confusing "no response" with a rejection.

Before being P1, I was WP for 5-6 years. Made P1 in early 2019.
I remember at least once as a WP, being told the request was rejected on the spot. The phone agent proactively told me that a manual review could not be sent off - that was only for P1.

Even as P1, I have had "no response" and been told to call back in 24-48 hours.

In any case, moot point now.

What were the points on taxes on that very lucky score?

My experience was the same.

However, I recommend putting in an expertflyer alert for Z class on LATAM.

Not every Z class seat results in an award seat, but sometimes. I’ve now got 3 award seats to SCL on LATAM using this method for later this year.

Have got a LATAM seat locked in, but trying to get a Qantas one for a OWA as it will be essentially free.

2 x F Seats released on QF11 on 18 and 19 March next year. (So theoretically that's 4!). EF was showing A8.
Ended up taking the 19th flight, and tacking on the domestic connecting flight in J.

Trying to get a pre Christmas J run across to the East Coast and back for two, all legs okay except MEL-PER, where my request for seats on QF9 on 21, 22 and 23rd were all knocked back.

Someone mentioned earlier in this thread (I think in response to a post of mine) that availability may need to show LHR-MEL and MEL-LHR in the appropriate classes, even when only travelling on the domestic sectors.

There is ‘I’ availability, but no Business Sale fares, only Business Saver and Flex.

Are you P1? No F request I'm guessing...
