QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

[Cessna 180]

The rise of the social media/you tubers/influencers/points hacker websites or whatever they are called has completely ruined the job.

As I partially mentioned on another thread recently, back in around 2019 I booked a OWA j award six months out from departure. All on line. A month or two later I booked a second ticket on the same itinerary for GF. No problems, just a couple of phone calls to add some flights.

I have not had a need to ring and make any request of late, but I have been watching this plus availability on other One World carriers with a view to making a booking for early 28 and am not overly optimistic. Plus the increase in taxes across ~80% of carriers makes it all less fun.

Yes, yes, yes. My view is we should treat this like fight club. Stop talking about it. Tbh same goes for this thread.

It will be taken away if not.

Unfortunately the ship has sailed…. There was an article last week in either The Australian or the AFR that specifically mentioned it (along with a bunch of other completely incorrect things as usual).

EDIT: AFR

Why airline status matters (especially if you want an airport massage)

Australians love to whinge about their frequent flyer points being “useless”. But if you’re complaining, you are doing it wrong.

Qantas platinum and platinum one frequent flyers can call the call centre to ask for reward seats to be unlocked on any flight. Seats are not always available, but if timing is flexible, most times a seat can be found on Qantas or Oneworld airlines.
