    Award seats on BA using QFF points

    This depends on whether your source of avios is buying them or earning them. For example, if you bought the avios, in many cases using the lowest avios amount and maximum cash can be the best value depending on what the value is that you assign to the avios, because you stretch your bought lot...

    Can a Flex Y ticket be changed to a Sale J ticket without charge?

    For QF, the equal or higher rule is based on pure dollar figures. QF don't restrict changing between cabins. Some airlines however have rules where it must be equal or higher AND also equal or higher RBD (ie. subclass). Eg. if your ticket was in D class, you can only go to D class or higher and...

    Booking AA Flights - Use AA US or AA Aus?

    AA scrapped that and fired Vasu Raja over it too... heads certainly rolled, as the industry long expected when that change was initially announced. AA realised eventually, albeit a bit late, that you don't mess with the travel trade.

    Booking AA Flights - Use AA US or AA Aus?

    You qualify by virtue of having an international ticket that bookends the domestics, irrespective of how long you stopover. Basically if you have an international ticket... (that can be train, ferry, cruise, flights...),, you're covered,

    Booking AA Flights - Use AA US or AA Aus?

    For more expensive domestic fares, you can exempt two taxes on the domestic ticket if you also have an international ticket.

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    For QF direct bookings, if your ticket was worth $500 and you book a new fare that is lower, eg. $200, then the $200 fare will use the existing PNR and a new PNR will be created for the remaining $300 credit. For agency bookings... you can just re-use the same PNR over and over.

    Oman Air seats now showing up as QF Classic Rewards

    I have seen this incorrect information being sprouted for quite some time now... so for the sake of getting it right... For QF flights, QF sets the fuel surcharge. You are correct that these go to QF's bottom line. However, for non-QF flights, QF doesn't set the fuel surcharge at all. Carriers...

    Adding 2 passports in APIS? Dual AU/US citizen flying EU->USA->Australia

    The correct process is you use the passport you checked in with in the smartgate, so that means you use the USA passport in the smartgate, not the AUS passport.

    Qantas partner airlines page... Airlink There, No Qatar ...

    This list is all the carriers that QF codeshares on, hence why a variety of non oneworld carriers appear.

    VA cancelled half my trip - no notification

    Something is not adding up here... SQ is probably the only major carrier who does very few schedule changes and certainly cancelling flights altogether is not something that SQ does often. So why were the flights cancelled?
