Timing QR release and other questions

[squid01]

Need to be clearer too - midnight in which time zone…?

I’m in AEDT sorry.

6. Will be needing to add an infant (unborn currently) to the booking later. What is the process for that and what would be the charge (any extra taxes or points)? Will that also count as a change fee which needs to be paid?

Interested in this too, have you done any further research or enquiries with VA/QR?

Did this earlier this year with a VA rewards redemption on SQ. Was very straight forward. Called up once the we got the passport issued paid a small fee (was some weird amount like 37.4 AUD presumably airport taxes) and a ticket for the infant is issued to the existing booking reference. The lap infant also shows up on SQ’s website which then automatically unlocked the bassinet seats for me to choose as well.

I’d imagine the process would be the same for a VA redemption on QR metal.

QR certainly do release F awards after the original release of awards. They then appear on VA immediately if less than 330 days.
I wanted a specific day in August next yer BKK-DOH. Was after J awards but I had used seats-aero for notification if an award appeared. Late last week notified F awards were available through VA so I booked immediately though it was 1 day earlier than planned. selected seats immediately an the seat plan showed all F seats available.
