The MEL-CAI fares don't allow routing via SYD for free so if you're routing it via SYD, you're paying for an extra domestic fare for the MEL-SYD and SYD-MEL.

Well tomorrow is hump day as they call Wednesdays... it might be quite the hump of a day...

This is correct... but for itineraries involving certain carriers, of which CX and MH are on the list, they're supposed to call their seniors to issue the ticket immediately.

QF is only selling 7 I class on this flight. There's a total of 23 unsold J seats on this flight. One pax has not selected a seat.

ADL has runway works after 11pm so it's not a suitable diversion port. Looking at the history of VH-EBB, my guess is there's ETOPS restrictions or something along those lines. We don't have that many diversion port options in AU capable of handling A330s.

If it's a purely QF domestic itinerary, then changing to another cousin is easy. They will maintain the existing PNR and just change the name then send the PNR to manual ticketing to reissue the ticket.

Note that this feature only works on non-JL flights where JL has visibility of all of the other INF bookings, which the majority of the time, is not the case. You can very well have an INF that won't show on the seat map because JL has no visibility of the PNR that the INF is booked on.

Be careful with the midwest - you will run into HIP checks which means a higher fare.

You can actually pack in 6 AA domestics on the east coast. It's actually not a bad earner. You can also route this fare as far as the west coast of the US and then back to the east coast!

This fare has been around for ages - 2022 if I remember correctly. You can do JFK and PHL are the cheapest, BOS and DCA are the next cheapest.

You would ordinarily have gold until 31/01/2026 if the changes weren't happenng. You will still get at least that, if not end of April 2026.

It also matches IB.

I have seen it happen but far from consistently. I have erred on the side of caution in my examples for this reason.

Yes. Hence why I described it as best practice to get QF to formally cancel the segment and also suspend the relevant ticket coupon. It keeps things in sync and avoids breaking the QF manage booking functions.

I originally had MEL-PER in example D but removed it to simplify the example and failed to update the text underneath. I updated my post already.

What the first agent told you, was actually correct for the no showing part, if you were happy to forfeit that coupon. They were wrong on the 2x change fees - that's not correct. It's unnecessary to go and split the ticket up and it ends up costing you more than necessary. On a wholly domestic...

EK needs to have an IATCI agreement with CX not the other way around. This document is only valid where CX is the accepting carrier. But yes, EK has IATCI with CX and EK can check bags to CX and print CX boarding passes, so you can remain airside at SIN.

Don't bother unless you see the flight change to J9 - the allocation has been exhausted on this flight.

You cannot do EXST or CBBG on partner carrier awards, including a ticket where it is mixed QF/partner carriage. This is due to the way awards are ticketed - there is just no way for the partner carrier to get paid for the EXST. You are able to do EXST/CBBG award bookings on wholly QF prime...

As I stated previously, the lower 135 AUD fuel fine charged by the multi city tool is correct for a W award.
