The benefit of flying Y, you can never be downgraded! :D *well, technically you can be offloaded to JQ, but still. :D

Nope. When I spoke to the service desk the answer was straight "it's usually fine, don't worry" (before I even hand over the booking#). The only time the agent checked with the computer was afterwards to make sure that the booking is still valid (just in case) - which it is.

Not quite true, at least not all airline. E.g. I missed a VA flight (although this one is domestic) on the outbound sector, went to the airport and asked the service desk "what would happen on my return flight?" and was given "don't worry, it's still valid :) but let me check for a bit.... yeah...

You can just paste the script into Chrome's Console (part of developer tools) while viewing the booking page, which will run the script in page (basically what GreaseMonkey does).

I'm about to book a SYD-LAX in Economy Flex, however I'm a bit confused about the upgrades. The fare rule on the booking page AUUSFF2JQI says: "For the purposes of redeeming Qantas Points for a Flight Upgrade Award, this fare is classed as Economy." According to the new table however: "~~~...

as of today, mine still shows 0 :( I've done quite a few squiggles. Also, the pre-simplification MASAs seems to count twice on the statement.

I have quite a few J A330 bookings in the coming months. Given that they preannounced this a year ago, I'll just assume it won't happen until I see it.

Perhaps this is related to the Melbourne call center closure?

With the amount of points accrued going up (in most cases, excluding maybe economy) and therefore more points being floated, I foresee a devaluation coming on the redemption side.

They could set up a Central-to-SYD flight* that you can book (and pay a bit extra for) as part of your itinerary. I think people would happily take that :D Extra credit if it earns SC too. *with QF number operated by ****tyBuses or ****tyRail.

Yes, the cost of Plus add-on is fixed, while Max add-on is variable (Fare+Max = Fixed). Sometimes it gets weird e.g. once the Max cost me less than the Plus (when baggage is included) when booking T-4hour. Perhaps QF can adopt UA's method of selling "points and sc booster" pack on each flight...

I remember in Japan, the boarding gate machine beeps differently when you scan your BP as a WP. Maybe something subtle like that will actually "train" the passenger e.g. you get a funny beep when you try to board before your turn or using the wrong (priority) lane.

Ok... I sort of do this thing for a living, and here are my thoughts: 1. The current most popular browser screen is 1366x768. This is typically 13"-15" wide screen display, like what I'm using right now (13" MacBook Air). This category (13-15" display, wide or not) happens to be 99% of laptops...

I believe that is correct. However I'm not confident enough to rely on this to be the case.

Yeah, so far the Melbourne based Premium desk has always been a pleasure to deal with. Hopefully the new Premium desk will be just as good, not enhanced... :(

Re: Sucessful ASA Bookings booked at classic rates Reference Guide You gotta love it when the operator says "I know what you're talking about". Few more bookings and no more points left :D Jun 14 | Oct 14 | J | MEL-ADL-ASP-ADL-MEL | 48,000 | $403.02 | ? | 92k | 200SC Jun 14 | Jan 14 | J |...

Not immediately. Last time I tried the cancellation went into a queue and were processed like 2 days later.

OMG. "Exciting news will be coming soon around rewards". I read that as if they're going to make rewards simpler and fairer to. *run to burn all my points before Simplification day*

Re: Successful ASA Bookings booked at classic rates Reference Guide Looks like it hasn't been ticketed yet. I suggest calling in on Monday if it hasn't been ticketed by then (you'll get an email with the e-Ticket), otherwise past July 1st it may become problematic (or not, I don't know).

Isn't that the same issue when they reduce the SCs too? How come that one goes quicker than the points?
