One obvious way is to book Y only. :lol:

I hear it's Amadeus outage that also affected other Amadeus-backed carriers.

My guess is that they're tweaking their yield algorithm to "optimize" revenue, with the side effect of more bumping and overbooking situation. Either it's unintentionally bad side effect, or they consider this the "normal cost of doing business" and we'll see this as the new normal, going forward.

At least if they try earlier, the victim can decide if they want to fly earlier (e.g. take a TG at ~3pm which will see them arrive at ~7am in NRT).

It can happen to you and it can happen to me. So let's keep it going in sympathy to the OP's colleague until it is resolved amicably. :-|

Re: QF selling more "extra legroom" Y seats - 80A/K,71D & Dom. Exit Their most valuable flyers fly in J or F on EK-operated codeshares, so in the scheme of things, this really doesn't matter much. :lol:

Re: QF selling more "extra legroom" Y seats - 80A/K,71D & Dom. Exit Yeah they can also charge for printing boarding passes, for any piece of luggage, for sitting on any non-middle seats, for any carry-on, lunch, etc, etc, etc. Because they're running a business and profit is king, right?

Re: QF selling more "extra legroom" Y seats - 80A/K,71D & Dom. Exit I noticed this about a week ago. Row 43 in a 744 is now also an "extra legroom" seat. My seat selection (43A) done a couple of weeks prior (was free back then) still sticks though. Looking upthread it's quite bizarre actually...

As with other machine solutions like the WP shadow and other stuff, it'll only get overridden (in both the good and bad way) by humans.

How do you use 4x vouchers in one go?

It seems that my purchase from yesterday, on top of not being delivered via email yet, is also not charged to my card yet. Looking up the voucher PNR it seems still valid though...

If nothing else, I would expect a WP to know the rules better than others regarding these kinds of things.

But I thought somewhere upthread it was mentioned that using the voucher before receiving the email will result in points crediting hassle later on :(

I bought the voucher yesterday but haven't got any email yet. Any idea how long does it take normally to "deliver" these vouchers?

Actually it's the other way around. From the numerous reports of missing mASA points, it seems that usually the pax knows better than the system :D

Just making sure before I take the plunge: can anyone with a voucher confirm that I'll be able to book SYD-KIX return (via NRT)? I was a bit unsure because it involves connection to Jetstar Japan.

Whoa, it's 30$ off any international booking then? :D Also, same trick apparently apply to Jetstar.

Business idea: check-in bot for J-seat protection. Will automatically check you in when it hits T-24 and get you single-digit sequence numbers, for the cost of 1$ per check-in. :D

I guess they really want to save the whatever thousands dollars worth of compensation they can, brand goodwill be damned. Compensation shows up in the book, brand value doesn't. Simple and fair, really :P

It's even worse, I've seen cases where award availability is not the same between the mobile and desktop site. E.g. the mobile site shows no availability while desktop shows a few available options. Even on my phone I no longer trust their mobile cough, luckily my browser has a "request desktop...
