With QF/AA there are often issues with PNR desynchronisation when AA mess with their flights. Ideally, as you say, it is best cleaned up to avoid an accidental no-show scenario. I once had a PNR with 6 duplicates of the one city pair! That was fun to clean up.

QF will be increasing the excess baggage charges for domestic itineraries on 18/04. The prepaid per piece price will change from 50 AUD to 65 AUD per piece. The airport per piece price will change from 100 AUD to 130 AUD per piece. If you need excess baggage on a domestic itinerary... make...

For BA... sapphires and above can select exit rows free of charge on short haul, but on long haul it is emeralds only. I've updated my post to reflect the distinction. For AY... no, exit rows are emeralds only on both short and long haul.

There are no changes to the timing of what rows are visible and when. It will still be T-80h when row 4 would potentially but not always become visible to a platinum/gold/etc. The mix of status pax and their PCV scores on the flight will continue to determine what rows are visible, eg. on a...

These book into I class, but that is irrelevant for the DOH-HEL QR*AY codeshare as all pax get free seat selection on these, irrespective of whether it is an unbundled fare or not.

You cannot mix pure redemption (not counting points plus pay type) and commercial on the same ticket. However, you can mix separate pure redemption + commercial tickets on the same PNR for the purposes of through-check and seamless ground handling though. However, it can only be done by a TA...

I take it you booked on the AA AU website?

DXB-SIN-MEL-PER must be searched as a single search otherwise you don't get correct origin-destination inventory. Furthermore, EK marries segments within 72 hours in DXB rather than 24 hours, so if your DXB transit is under 72 hours you might be getting hit there with incorrect inventory as well.

I sometimes see row 4 used to accommodate downgrades.

No. You would need to adjust the remaining segments accordingly so that everything fits within 12 months. The system will refuse to price the itinerary if you don't.

Not anymore - that was fixed a while ago! If you're still experiencing it, then something hasn't been done correctly.

Part of the issue is ABF staff at the border do not know their own processes as you've experienced. The procedure for dual nationals is well documented on the ABF website publicly. Dual national passports should be linked in the ABF APP (advance passenger processing) system. These links last...

Yes - it will be repriced as of the date that you make the changes, so if you know if you will be repricing anyway due to adding segments, then there's no rush as you'll get hit with the new YQ anyway at a later date. This only really affects those who have some changes to make already, but are...

Heads up... If you are planning on: 1. Making a redemption booking that originates in AU 2. Changing a redemption booking that originates in AU using QF/BA/JL/CX/QR points (but not AA/AS) and it involves JL flights ... you might want to consider making that booking on/before 31/03 as JL will...

What is the itinerary and what are you changing? This sounds like it is international as K class is flex on domestic. For domestic... Generally speaking, as an example, you can combine a e-deal SYD-MEL eg. Q class and a flex MEL-SYD eg. K class and change the flex MEL-SYD without a change fee...

Yes. Same rule.

Are you looking at revenue inventory? AF uses O class for both commercial as well as redemption. The inventory allocated to each purpose differs. EF for example, does not differentiate correctly.

They're still LA's to sell until airport control hence why they remain blocked.

All partner carriers require a reissue.

It should be done on the existing booking and yes, the INF is required to pay the appropriate taxes.
