Hahaha first world problems indeed. It's a big decision. Keep in mind it's unlikely you will sleep for the whole flight, so can so some sleeping and some lapping up the luxury of business class 😉

Same, we took qr909 on the a380 and then qr7 on the a350-1000 QSuites, so also get 7 hrs in the suites 😁. We liked the timing of these flights better out of Sydney, as we don't need to take annual leave in the day if departure if the flight leaves at approx 9pm. Also means we arrive in London...

Hmmm yes maybe. Will have to wait to see what comes out in the wash and then question it if need be. Every point counts with the 15% business class award points increase in Septemer!

Hmmm good to know. I will definitely query if they take out too much, hopefully will be able to get through to someone who understands my issue. The overseas call centres can be a bit tricky to deal with.

Can anyone confirm my calculations for yesterday's flight booking? I used 104K pts per person for SYD to DOH in J and it's meant to be 139K points each total for SYD to LHR via DOH in J. The rep quoted me an extra 96K points for adding DOH to LHR for two people, but it should be 80K from my...

HAHA ok will keep checking and not be too disappointed if they deduct the points! It was adding DOH to LHR to a SYD to DOH J reward flight. I used 104K pts per person for SYD to DOH and it's meant to be 139K points each total for SYD to LHR via DOH. The rep quoted me an extra 96K points for...

Hi all I'm looking for recent experience of selecting seats for an Etihad business class award flight booked through Velocity. Trying to decide whether to fly Etihad AMS to SYD, or use Qantas points to book Qatar Airways business class. EY have the better flight time and transit time in Abu...

Argh let's hope it settles down ASAP 🤞

Hi all, I did a search of the forums but didn't find exactly the answer I am asking for. Apologies if this is already answered somewhere. I called Qantas yesterday to add a connecting flight to a QR J award booking. The eticket numbers changed about 7 hours later and my credit card was charged...

The eticket number changed a couple hours ago so I think it's all good now. Been following Qantas up all day and my inbox is now full of etickets!

Oh that does further complicate things! I wonder if you can add a paid commercial flight to a reward booking? Hopefully someone has posted a process on how to book Canberra to Europe for you to read up on. You might be on the phone with Qantas for quite some time when you do call...it took an...

When i was practicing, the 9pm flight out of Sydney was still there every day for about 3 weeks, so it can work out without calling if your dates are flexible. However, if you are set on a certain day or if QR award seats are still glitchy then i would do what I just did and call the next day...

Good luck Pug1! In good news, our flight eticket number has changed and money come out of my credit card, so i believe the second sector got ticketed and the whole flight is ticketed now YAY!

I made a change to a QR classic reward today, and added a segment. Already had syd to DOH and added DOH to LHR. It hasn't been ticketed and I called Qatar airways who confirmed that the second sector is not yet ticketed. How will I know when it is? There one eticket number for both passengers...

I got an eticket email from Qantas but upon calling Qatar they confirm the second sector hasn't been ticketed. I wonder how I know if it has or not, there's one eticket number for each person. Should there be two? Or should there be a while new eticket number now that i have added a sector...

Argh no, I had to call Qatar to select seats as there was an error online, and they selected to seats for me but said there is no ticket yet. Just following up Qantas now. I have ticket for SYD to DOH, which was done within 30 mins yesterday.

OMG what a stressful morning but....i got it done!!!!! I called at about 820am and 845am, and the first callback was too early by 10mins and they refused to wait on the line, second call back was at 953am so i tried to stall it and it hung up on me! Anyway luckily it classified as "failed" and...

OK i have two callbacks set up (on two different phones) and will SMS at about 930am (the SMS people have been responding too fast so need to wait until closer to 10am lol). I'm so nervous! What if the flight doesn't get released! Then we are almost back to square one. 50 mins to go anyway...

This is what I'm worried about. I called on Saturday morning and was quoted 2.5 hrs but the call back was about an hour later. Might start calling at 8am just in case, and if I get through a bit early maybe I can stall a bit? Lol. It's tricky.

The afternoon flight didnt really connect to any qsuite flights from Doha to London, and we saved a day of annual leave if we fly out at 9pm as we cant work that day, but agree, happy to just get a seat up the pointy end! I'm not feeling confident for tomorrow now that I've seen those DOH to...
