I have had 2 flights over the last 6 months with this issue. Got a $20 eftpos gift card

Flight BNE to Hobart cancelled today. Free upgrade at gate on reroute via Sydney. Suspect plan was full of rerouted passengers. First operational upgrade in a while

I had a similar downgrade due to a late arrival in from lax to Sydney. The only J seat available required a 6 hour wait in the lounge so not surprising took a 1 hour delay to BNE. Most of the delay was having to hold for 45 min near Sydney then another 25 min for the gate. No compensation as a...

Not a problem to add middle name if you book and pay but if its a classic reward its booked in your ff profile name automatically, and when I booked over the phone, I had to add my middle name to my profile before they could manually book the classic reward. It seems that JAL doesn't always...

Not sure but I was told when I booked the flights last December for November this year

Yes I used points, a classic reward flight from Paris to Melbourne via Tokyo. My sons ticket was fine as I didn’t enter his ff number, so could enter his name. But if you are booking a flight on your ff ac it enters your ff details. Let us know what JAL say, thanks

No, I booked the reward seat over the phone as the site wouldn’t link the 2 sectors, and the Hobart agent told me for JAL in needed my middle name on the ticket. No idea how vigorously JAL enforce it though.

This is not correct. JAL has changed the rules. I had to ring the ff call Center to add my middle name. If you are not planning to fly JAL on a reward ticket it doesn’t matter

Question, is it routine to be charged the 7700 assist fee when requesting a seat, not going to complain but probably wasn’t Hobart

I have some reward flight J F to and from Europe in Nov, the Hobart agent was very particular about me ringing the ff help desk and getting my middle name added. I am now greatest by both names when ever ringing up but I would definitely follow up

I am not sure about the Qantas policy but NIB wind back the amount paid to providers significantly. Such that even if the provider charges a 1$ excess to what nib will rebate, you are up for substantial more, the $1 gap plus the decreased rebate which may be hundreds. Just doesn’t seem fair...

For me it’s a matter for cost / reward. I fly trans Tasman a fair bit so with a double status credit / creative routing it’s not bad. Saved 12000 k on flights for the kids to North America this summer, which makes it worth it imo. I have considered changing alliances but I could not earn as many...

3 Y seats to LAX from BNE just before Christmas which was lovely.

Small world, was on the same flight. Missed connections due to all the congestion

Agree, but if you have Qantas gold or above no problem

Just Checked in to with Alaskan in Portland. Have an 11 hour layover in LA before reward J on QF 12 to Sydney. Checkin desk was super helpful, booked bags to final destination and issued bording passes to Sydney too. F ticket was 200 US and 60 sc, good product and nice to fly too. The rules are...

Had my card blocked in Canada on a trip, triggered some fraud red flag, required a call to Qantas money. My card has worked in France last September

7 April BNE-PER Classic reward Y to J about 24 hours prior. PER-SIN No upgrade Y to J. 9 April Sin - Sydney QF 82 Classic Reward Y to J at T-36 as WP. Only 1 failed upgrade since covid reopening (but 2 were Y to PE, 4 to J)

I think its due to partner airline changes at the last minute requiring rebooking, the ticket class must change

I have done this but with the last chat to a Hobart agent they said it would be much harder for them to do once the fly flexible policy ended. She did move it forward but had to force the ticketing, not sure another call center would have managed
