It's beneficial if it's US->elsewhere, CA->elsewhere and also AU->DFW->international destination / international->DFW->AU as no baggage collection is required. You can also exempt some of the domestic ticket taxes on a separate commercial US domestic ticket, when it's issued conjunctively with...

Seat selection on LA codeshares operated by QF is often broken. As it is a blockspace codeshare, the QF PNR is only created 72 hours out. You can call QF at 72 hours out and they can find the QF PNR by name/ticket number and assign a seat that way.

Rubbish - you can even prompt them to use the 'find connection' function. They might take you a bit more seriously if you sound like you have some idea!

The ticket stock doesn't matter, nor does commercial vs award. When you do a manual through-check, you don't actually enter the ticket number. It's just name and flight details. The system then sends a query to that airline and the airline responds yes or no.

Especially when virtually all pax onboard require visas for India it's a bit of a nightmare.

Diversion to BLR was due to medical. Diversion to and termination in SIN was due to crew timeout. Pax will be rebooked to final destination on whatever flights QF can get people onto.

@lameyofth is referring to operational upgrades. It's often complained about by golds and above that BA will upgrade a silver or bronze to allow a lower tier member to "sample" a higher cabin to encourage spend-up.

No. QF charge for BSCTs too, so it's not that they are marked as extra legroom seats, they're marked as chargeable BSCT selections. https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/book/seating/select-a-seat.html

A B789 is possibly more sensible. QF63/64 going to an A388 means that some B789s will be freed up.

If QF was to run their fleet tight without much buffer, which we all know is a bad idea... it might just fit with 9, but ideally it needs to be 10. I suspect with SIN they want the frequency... not a single big aircraft.

Not without another aircraft back. MEL-SIN requires 1 airframe. It can rotate with QF93/94 on the days that it is an A388 so that it can cycle to the rest of the network.

The bigger picture is more important - you only need 7 aircraft to operate QF1/2/11/12/63/64. The schedule is actually quite loose as there's enough slack for all 7 aircraft to have a 24 hour block in the LAX hangar every fortnight or so. There is also some flexibility in SYD where they will...

I believe the issue has been resolved now, so it wouldn't have mattered which site you use to select the seat.

Lets clarify some terminology here... A ticket does not equal a PNR. A PNR can contain multiple pax, with multiple tickets for each of those pax. Think of a PNR as a book (PNR) - a book can have multiple chapters (tickets) and each chapter can be multiple pages (ticket coupons - up to a maximum...

The core issue is GDSes were built around one PNR only being able to hold a flight segment of the same sub class, eg. N class. This means everyone on the booking must be booked in N class. Basically it revolves around a flight segment and what class that flight segment is. The so-called New...

There was a reason why you were sent deliberately via DFW 🤣

Be careful what you wish for... SQ got rid of their equivalent product altogether when the complaints about them rose.

No one - I can enter the request myself as an agent, which I did for testing to confirm whether VA codeshares can select seats or not.

There's an issue with the BA seating server at the moment.

Did the flights show up at SQ instead? Airport staff are known to mess up FF number changes... so it's always possible it still went to SQ despite the request at check in.
