    Incorrect information you've been given by Qantas Contact Centre

    Interesting - exact same thing happened to me just this week. Qantas email quoted Old and New flight details that were exactly the same so I ignored it. After seeing your post I had another look and - as with you - a QR flight had changed departure time by 5 minutes. No consequence but a...

    Bestpricetravel.com.au flight cancellation 2 days before flight

    Had this happen to me on 2 separate occasions with the same OWA booking - including being told there was no longer availabily despite it showing on BA, AA and other websites. Thanks to advice on this forum I either HUACA or stood my ground and got the result I wanted.

    Incorrect information you've been given by Qantas Contact Centre

    I've had a similar experience with chat sessions that mysteriously go offline just when my questions seemed to get a bit too difficult.

    Incorrect information you've been given by Qantas Contact Centre

    - On our Oneworld award booking, BA cancelled our original flight from Zurich to Heathrow and rebooked us to a later flight. - Qantas emailed to request I get in touch to advise acceptance of the change - Did so and thought all was good - Next morning I checked our booking and noticed a KUL-ADL...

    Yes - and the message for me in particular is that if one of your carriers decides to change something tardy re-ticketing can put your whole itinerary at risk! What really frustrates me is that - like others - I have experienced call centre staff that have absolutely no idea (such as suggesting...

    Didn't expect to be posting about my experience again - but I couldn't agree with you more! Sorry for the length but the lessons are the same: Had my business class OWA booked, ticketed, finalised a few months ago so was sitting back relaxing - comfortable in the knowledge that my (very) late...

    How to best search for classic reward flights?

    I'd suggest trying BCD Travel's search tool (Flight Availability - BCD Travel ) and Award Nexus (Award Nexus) BCD Travel tool provides availability in all classes (U = Business award, X = Economy award) but only on specific dates searched for. You can check booking classes here...

    Try the Try "Manage Your Booking" on Finnair or Royal Jordanian - worked for me (and seat selections stuck) where IB wouldn't.

    Try this: MEL-ADL QF ADL-DOH-ZRH QR ZRH-LHR-MIA BA MIA-LIM LA LIM-MAD-BCN IB BCN-DOH-KUL QR KUL-ADL MH ADL-MEL QF ... for the bargain price of $2,133.26 per person. Searched for each leg as paid flights on ITA Matrix and the taxes and charges came up as several hundred more so decided to just...

    Great news! The key word here - in my experience as well - is perseverance. And unfortunately the other key lesson - also in my experience - is how variable the outcome can be dependent on the agent you speak/chat to. I think the pain will evaporate into the distance when you take your first...

    Looks like15 sectors to me and I don't see any other rules being broken. If you're prepared to try again, see if dropping sectors 1 and 15 helps (you can easily buy tickets for those sectors). If it works then it's the number of sectors causing the issue. Given my experience if there is still...

    I also found Manage your Booking on the Royal Jordanian site was the most reliable for seat selection. We have 2 Iberia flights in our itinerary that we had randomly assigned seats for - my wife and I at opposite ends of the cabin! Tried using Iberia website to fix to no avail - the seats...

    Worked for me too where other Oneworld carries didn’t- especially with IB flights.

    SUCCESS! - got my last flight added. I decided to try one more time and after again being told the the flight couldn't be added I pressed on what rule was not being complied with and initially got the response: "It's because there are different airlines and processing change or adding another...

    Is it too risky to cancel a OWA sector and rebook same flight as part of a multi-sector without losing the seats?

    Well I got my last segment booked and it seems like I wasn't breaking any rule - it was a QANTAS booking system issue related to Iberia taxes and charges. I decided to give it one more go via the chat channel in the app and initially got the same response - can't add the flight/computer says no...

    The consistent response I'm getting - again tonight - is that the computer says no. Don't know what I can do to escalate from there. I might give up.

    Is it too risky to cancel a OWA sector and rebook same flight as part of a multi-sector without losing the seats?

    Yeah it mightn't exist but I'm hitting a wall trying add that sector. Might just buy a ticket and stop stressing about it.

    Is it too risky to cancel a OWA sector and rebook same flight as part of a multi-sector without losing the seats?

    I have a question about rebooking a OWA sector that currently has no J availability (actually U) but which my wife and I are already booked on. To explain, our OWA currently ends with a flight from KUL to ADL although we are based in MEL - couldn’t find direct flights back to MEL so settled for...

    Thinking about it a bit more I suspect the previous poster is right about rule 14.3.15. I'm guessing the rationale behind that rule is that assuming you have some miles and sectors left from your international travel those spare miles aren't used for a few domestic sectors just to use up the...
