If you haven't done so already, I'd look to see if this seat is available on another Oneworld airline's awards booking page (e.g. BA or AA). Expertflyer is the other way of checking if this is real or phantom

Given JQ’s recent international track record with all their broken 787s, I know where I’d be putting bets on delays happening….

I’d be questioning the longevity of my relationship if + 1 wanted to fly JQ Y instead of business class…or at very least saying “sure I’ll see you in Melbourne when we both get back. I look forward to comparing trip notes…” 😝😝

The Ladies who Shoot Lunch red used to be a regular in Dom QPs and possibly also plastic mini bottles in Y golden triangle flights? QF’s wines have really really been enhanced lately across the board

Here’s a hack worth noting that could save a lot of heartache for minor OWA schedule changes. 1) CMT notified of a 45 minute change of departure time for a QF flight as part of a OWA. Trip includes legs on MH so panic set in about losing flights if re-ticketing or revalidation required. (No...

Very interestingly I just got a push notification about a flight time change on my upcoming OWA, despite the trip not showing in the app. So their back end systems are still working. Now to see if the change has screwed up my whole OWA….

I have a few random past trips still in the new CMT app. Plus a very weird QF one called “Platinum” from 3 days ago (I’m not WP). Origin FFA - (Kill Devil Hills) at 8:13am to PTU (Platinum) 12:00. Actually the PNR refers to a real EK F booking I have…which thankfully still shows up...

I waited a couple of weeks last year for points to be taken for a QF classic award originating from an overseas port. Then another week or two for ticketing. As others have said, if it’s on Qantas metal and still showing in your QF profile, you needn’t be too concerned….as annoying as it is...

The person I spoke to last week who quoted me the full points cost for a changed award was otherwise totally on the ball and got the changes I wanted to my OWA, so I think if you manage to get that far with an agent (as in you found one wh saw the seats you want and can add them to your PNR) I...

So just sheer, peculiar coincidence that in all of my recently cancelled and rescheduled golden triangle flights I was looking at very light loads on seat maps and high availability on EF an hour or two before the flight. Then looked at other flights either side and saw equally light loads. Pure...

I had an agent the other day quote me the full total points cost of my F/J OWA when I made a change rather it a the difference. He was unable to see on his screen what the difference was between points paid and new points required (ie difference between J and F OWA). I tried to clarify a few...

My strike rate of agents who have been able to solve problems or add flights to my upcoming OWA vs those who lie/bluff/hang up on me has probably been 1:6. That's a lot of wasted time for me and for Qantas dealing with people ill-equiped to help and wasted time for the rare competent agents who...

250 rollover SCs just landed in my account. My anniversary date is 31/1. Still waiting for 100 more SCs for Points Club Plus.

That was my concern yesterday after an agent told me they didn’t want to touch my booking because it was in the queue. I then watched as a couple of MH legs predictably disappeared so I called back and won the Qantas call centre lottery. Well division 2 prize. I don’t get Hobart but I did get...

Fairly common response unfortunately. You got a dud agent. HUCA. It can definitely be done. It’s potluck however whether you get someone who can do it properly. Also there’s a very high risk if you still have MH segments on your new itinerary. They will auto cancel within a few hours when (not...

No rollover and no PC+ 100SCs for me either now that 24/2 is nearly over. Like others here, year ended 31/1. I retained gold by about November and hit PC+ around the same time.

This advice actually made my day! I managed to get on to a very experienced and helpful agent in CPT on my subsequent call who helped me get the F seats I wanted to add to a pre-existing booking, triple checked everything while I was on the phone and promised to get it sent for ticketing right...

Data point: I just got through on the phone after a 25 minute hold - not too bad considering website meltdown - to try to add a leg to a OWA. It was my second change for the day. Sadly because change #1 is unticketed (of course) the agent said they couldn't make additional changes. Bugger. Right...

"Gerr" is what all the pissed of customers are saying. Their browsers are listening!

It seems Cathay has coincidentally realised a bunch of seats this morning. I changed a couple of legs on a OWA over the phone a couple of hours ago from MH and UL to MH and CX (in F). Naturally it only has a snowball's chance of being ticketed in time... I can see a bunch of issues with all...
