I have an award booking in J, travelling on JL HEL-NRT-MEL.
Qantas recently advised me of a schedule change, in a just letting you know, you don't need to do anything type email.
Only that isn't really true, because the new itinerary breaches the minimum connectime time at NRT for JL/JL.
I gave up after two 90 min phone calls without anyone picking up and tried FB messenger. Seemed to be easier to get someone there and after confirming there was no availability on an alternative flight on AY I suggested that I would be happy to leave HEL one day earlier, meaning a connection of 24h 55 mins in Tokyo. I saw that the prior day flight was waitlisted and yesterday that cleared.
QF now want to charge me an additional 17k points, obviously now pricing this as 2 awards. I'm happy to pay additional taxes as I understand these will be levied, but am I being unreasonable in finding the additional points charge ridiculous?
