if you call the contact centre during frequent flyer centre open hours, they can cancel the previous ticket, immediately refund points and then book your new ticket

I've been told by the contact centre it's a maximum of 4 weeks Having said that, I suspect there is a huge amount of variability as usual. I got my points instantly refunded via the contact centre (since I needed to book another ticket). Nothing yet on my CC re: taxes 6 days later (though I...

I was just coming on to post this haha! 6499 LAX/SFO 6999 DFW 7499 NYC What I can't figure out though is why the transcontinental book into economy instead of I. I can't find the fare rules yet online Edit: Never mind .... no I class availbility when I'm looking

so NZ has been spamming my inbox every day about their new year sale..... the prices aren't dreadful ex-akl the probably the best I've seen in a number of months For J class on NZ Travel Dates 22/1/24 - 12/12/24 (no blackout dates - the blackout dates only in economy) Fare Basis: JSVNAM1 LAX -...

I’m surprised how nice the computer is to me had to make some booking changes since other half couldn’t go with me cancelled 2 x US-AKL rewards in U requested jfk-Akl QF4 U x 2 in October school holidays, bot confirmed automatically. First date declined, but second approved. I’m a happy...

Second success in two months yay as a WP (got QF4 JFK - AKL in U approved 6-8 weeks back) Initially was hoping to get U released on QF 3 AKL-JFK in late April. However, this week the one flight I was looking at went from J9C9D9I7 to J9C0D0I0 for whateever strange reason. It’s messed with my...

Hotel: ANA Crowne Plaza Fukuoka When: December 2023 Status: Diamond Elite Rate: IHG Asia Pacific Visa 20% off Rate Booked: 1 queen standard Received: 1 queen standard So…. This hotel is literally a blast from the past. Options for major chains in Fukuoka are limited with the Hilton being miles...

point of sale restrictions I suspect depending on where you are requesting a flight from a great example is for QF3 AKL-JFK expertflyer US or AOE POS never shows I for some reason, even when available on the QF website (NZ POS) I've been told by agents they needed to log into another POS to...

Hotel: Hotel Indigo Shibuya When: December 2023 Status: Diamond Elite Rate: Standard Room Reward (45000 points per night) Booked: standard room Received: 1 king premium high floor newish IHG hotel in Shibuya. I did appreciate being in Shibuya as it is not a place I normally stay (normally I'm...

Hotel: Voco Osaka When: December 2023 Status: Diamond Elite Rate: 23400 JPY per night (245ish AUD) - annoying rates tack on 10% service fee automatically in Japan in addition to 10% VAT. Asia Pacific Visa Rate Booked: 1 King Premium Received: 1 King Grand Corner * * interestingly the hotel...

Don't forget though, cancellation is merely 5k points. I suspect a large number will be book now, decide later and will possibly book multiple dates

this is very interesting - I wonder if the US routes are SG and above?

plenty of QF3 SYD-JFK throughout May though in all classes

I think there is inbound for LHR/FCO but not Americas from what I can see. side note, tried to see if qf3/4 were available, I couldn't find any classic rewards on those flights

I had to call the contact centre twice to get things sorted. interestingly had hobart both times and first agent got QF4 released. but with no email confirmation when I called again, Hobart agent 2 said Hobart agent 1 didn't set it up properly to ticket. still don't have a formal email, but the...

DOB was already on the APIS when Hobart made the booking, I’ve added the rest so See what happens Im hoping that I can get QF3 released at some point soon, fingers crossed

That’s interesting my JFK-AKL didn’t ticket within 15-30 despite being with Hobart. Will chase up tomorrow, at least it’s better if it’s a QF flight as opposed to a partner flight

very surprised at droid generosity today WP requesting (not P1) got through to hobart within 30 seconds QF 4, JFK - AKL , U class x 1 (I9 available, only 2 seats selected on seat map for what that's worth) May 10 2024, granted immediately by droid Tried to get outbound QF3 also, but droid said...

January tickets on non-QF airlines would have either been embargoed (e.g. not released with some airlines) or alternatively all gone in the 330 - 355 day window. The frank reality is if you want an award ticket in a premium cabin (actually even economy) during Dec - Feb, you have to book 11...

It’s really hard to predict availability right now - CX have basically zero’ed out flight over the next 2-4 days to accommodate for the backlog. I’m not sure re: the threshold to re-route via another carrier vs next available CX flight. It’s all a bit ambiguous right now …. I’m in Seoul another...
