We have a dilemma. Currently have a fully ticketed OWA which at the start has: MEL-DOH (QR*) J (14h35m) DOH-CMB (QR) J (4h55m) 2h35m transit CMB-MLE (UL) x (1h25m) There is now 2x J seats available on DOH-MLE (4h55m) direct which was our original preference. I don't know if its worth calling...

If you have bought something over the duty free allowance (e.g. for $5k), when you declare it upon return to Australia, do you pay the GST back less the duty free allowance - for a $90per person benefit? Or is there no point claiming the TRS in the first instance?

There was heaps of availability in economy on all routes out of Aus on my initial planning. Originally we could only get business class to Male from Melbourne via Kuala Lumpur on (MH) then to Doha (QR) then direct to Male (QR). At one stage we had 1 business seat going ADE-DOH and 1 going...

When you have most flights in J but then have 1 flight in X (CMB-MLE) in this case, will we still have lounge access at the airport before the economy flight?

This shouldn't affect a 2.5hr transit should it?

I've gone to MMB through Finnair & Qatar (logged in on QR with the e-ticket number) and can see our e-ticket numbers listed on both sites (these match the text based emails received from Qantas). I sent the itinerary from each site and it lists our updated flights with the e-ticket number and...

Even billed out at minimum wage we'd be able to fund all taxes for our upcoming trips.

And now it feels like i'm living out the definition of insanity - expecting things to change but keep on calling and getting the same response even from Auckland. This is even after my DOH-BNE flight disappeared again overnight. I really don't know what to do. It does go through to the section...

I'm at a loss - every time I call (7 times over 3 days) I get told the same thing regarding my positioning flights - they are all ticketed fine and there is nothing they can do. 1 of these was a proud '18 year veteran on the Premium line (SA)'. He pushed me towards the feedback form via customer...

Yessss!!!! 1648026642 There have been a few changes along the way where received refunds then it got re-calculated today and ended up being $1,700pp. Happy to pay QR taxes when we get Q-suites!

Original itinerary was out of Aus via KUL and had 5 Q-suites flights ticketed. QR changed their schedule and one remained which was in the 2nd trip for the year and not during our honeymoon, which was really disappointing. If we can get the positioning flights ticketed, the endless time on hold...

4 phone calls so far since last night and I have 1 ticketed itinerary (new ticket numbers dated today on the PDF rather than text based email) - our main itinerary which now has MEL-DOH direct in Q-suites to start out honeymoon. Waiting for call-back (also on hold on 2nd phone) to pay taxes on...

Yep - 5.5hrs later changes made to 1 OWA - old flights removed, taxes calculated, credit card details given, on phone to ticketing team to ticket. Start working through next booking to change, get the flights and then get hit with the Qantas survey - nothing completed fully. Pretty sick with...

Just saw this too! On hold, wish me luck...

Finally got my call back [South Africa :( ] and he re-sent the tickets - the text based 'QANTAS E-TICKET ITINERARY AND RECEIPT'. He confirmed the ticket numbers and kept saying it has been ticketed correctly and all we need is the emails he has sent. He was adamant. I kept pushing for the PDF...

Hi all, I'm a bit stressed after reading the last 10 or so pages of this thread. I have a similar situation to many with the horrific number of calls to Qantas to get flights sorted for our honeymoon in May. On one booking I have the text based Qantas E-Ticket Itinerary and Receipt which has...

I'm thinking it may be human error on the flights I requested. Transit time was 21 hours. Miles come in at 32.6k currently. Will double check everything again before calling back.

Finally got my call back today (15hr wait) and tried to add JFK-MIA-CUN (this will then be Stop 4) We had already capped out at 318k points each, but they were trying to charge another 41.3k points. Explained it is a One World Award booking, but he wouldn't budge and proceeded to put me on hold...

For the positioning flights, can I make a booking on the Qantas website to include a domestic flight, then ring up and remove the domestic leg and keep the international booking? e.g: MEL-BRIS DOH-SIN-MEL

As the others mentioned AUS is in USA (would never have enough miles to come back to Australia). The plan was to use Doha as a stop over and use points to/from there in order to maximise Qsuites bookings where possible. I was eventually able to book the following online this morning: May 2022...
