    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April Yep - I can see that - hopefully not a benefit I will have to use (only time I have done something similar I had a week to travel due to delays in the funeral so did not need the 24 hours)

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April ANd with the ability to book classic awards within 24 hours which I see as a negative change. This will further reduce either OpUps or points upgrades for nonP1/CL. I know WP get some upgrades confirmed at 72...

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April So essentially we are in the same position that we were a couple of years ago - you can book award flights using points and pay for surcharges with increased availability for WP, P1 and CL?

    "Island Dining" in the Domestic J lounges: Tips, Timing & Menus

    Vietnamese beef noodle soup Nicely the chilli is optional. Not something I would normally choose but tasty. Not much beef - one large slice that needs to be cut and quite short cut noodles which aren't easy to eat. Taste beats inconvenience though...

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April It's a bit like any form of potential insider trading and is dependent on the ethics of the individual involved. Also joe public has no recourse only QF.

    New Job 80-100% int and dom often at last minute travel advice please :)

    Personally I wouldn't touch a job with that much travel unless I was single, had no pets and was an alcoholic - as you are pretty much going to end up in that position not long after taking the role. I only travel one day per week but the grind of the trips to the airport, from the airport in...

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April My point was the thread started as the end of the world and potentially now is a "have to make a call to make a booking". For the record I have booked about one ASA and the remainder of awards have been...

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April My understanding is that the information being shared with media at 4PM can not be shared until tomorrow morning - as such I do not expect a clarification by Red Roo.

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April I guess for me an extra 3000 points on a 250,000 award aren't a big deal and a long way away from the original thread title "QF are removing ASAs".

    [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10April

    re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26-was]10April So the current process is scour the website for ASA at classic rates and book. The new process will be to scour the website for classic awards and then call to book as an ASA. This is the sky falling?

    Recognition of QF Status on one World Partners

    I think the big thing on BA is free seat selection at booking. On a DONE4 you wouldn't actually get preselection of seats in J - but as OWS/E you do.

    Normal Lounge food

    It definitely isn't gourmet and is quite repugnant.

    Is this a scam?

    If you were going to start a scam then using as much genuine information as possible is a good start.

    Bereavement flights

    I was also able to get QF to release an award flight when my grandmother was run over. Due to all sorts of circumstances we did not have the cash for a flight (and I had limited leave) and QF were able also to hold the award until I transferred points from Amex.

    Recognition of QF Status on one World Partners

    I certainly feel like I get special treatment on CX - no OpUps though as sadly they dont fly F out of SYD. I always get a greeting (unless I am asleep on take off) and any complaints/special requests tend to have the CSM come running - I don't expect that but it happens. Example I declined the...
