    International Seat Selection

    I had cause to call the Qantas Call Centre yesterday about another booking - so I asked if I could be placed in front row (20) PE. The operator tried it and it stuck - happy days. Even happier days when my request for points upgrade came through (approx T-60) for two seats PE to J. Thank you...

    International Seat Selection

    @jpp42 you're correct - frustrated more than pissed off. I am travelling with a 20 yo who has anxiety challenges, so seat selection (and possible upgrade) makes a huge difference for them.

    International Seat Selection

    Thanks @justinbrett Yes agree normally, however, over the last week the seat availability function has fluctuated and has been inconsistent between iPhone app and website. I am so pleased about the folks here who put me onto EF, so I have an alternate "source of truth" to check against. I'll...

    International Seat Selection

    I have an interesting issue with seat selection for travel to US next week: On my "Manage My Booking" summary page it lists the seats I pre-selected weeks ago. However, when I select the "Change Seats" link, for two of the flights (BNE-LAX, LAX-BNE) it says "Seat Selection is Current...

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    Well there you go - QF600 MEL this morning. Premium Boarding was called first, and the Flight Attendant at the gate checked and put Silver/Bronze peeps to the back of the standard lane. She said it fairly loudly to the first couple, so a whole heap of people scurried away. And there were...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I was just able to get two Econ seats released BNE-CBR with two weeks notice - no award seats showing on line, but R-E Deal seats available.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Agree on the quality of the wine list - it really has pulled back over the last few years. I used to look forward to making time to spend in the F Lounge so I could embrace the experience (wine, food, spa, etc), but now it is just like a standard lounge with food a bit better than QC club...

    QF Double Status Credit Promos - I am not 100% sure I follow the logic anymore...

    I had to fly BNE-TSV-BNE last week at short notice. As WP QFF I would default to QF flights, but for the BNE-TSV leg only Virgin had a flight available at the right time. All researched on my computer. Booking on Virgin for the return trip done by someone else. This morning I receive a Double...

    QF Seat Selection - Not Working?

    I've had similar issues on a recent US trip - not just for seat selection but also for meal selection too within the 7 day window. Not sure - maybe my request for upgrades caused the glitch ?

    Seat Selection on QantasLink De Havilland DHC-8 400 Flight

    I'm booked on QF2566 (CBR-BNE) on 18 August. I am not able to view the seat map or make a seat selection via the Qantas website or app, and when I look at Expertflyer it says a seat map isn't available for this flight. When I booked the seats (via phone to Qantas) they said seat selection...

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Lucky roll - QF15 BNE-LAX and QF16 LAX-BNE from PE to J both ways, advised about 24 hours in advance both times. I've been fortunate so far on all of my long QF 787 flights picking up upgrades, and not having to "slum" it in PE. Hopefully with more US flights evolving out of Brisbane this run...

    Qantas Refuse "Assistance" dog

    The accreditation process for ADs is applied (I believe) under state legislation. To my understanding that legislation (at least in Queensland) is pretty clear on what is required for accreditation, and the onus should not be on Qantas to prove or disprove any accreditation agency at their...

    LAX connection to Alaskan T6

    On arrival at TBIT you will need to go through immigration, collect any bags and then go through customs. You will then emerge landside. Follow the signs for transit passengers and you can drop off your bags at TBIT. You will then need to go through security to get airside. My experience...

    As a QFF is it better to book QF or AA code ?

    Thanks all, very informative contributions. Looks like its back to transiting through LAX for me :)

    As a QFF is it better to book QF or AA code ?

    On a recent trip to mid-west US I was caught up in weather related delays, which meant my 22 hours turned into 48 hours. I travel to the US a few times a year, and I'm looking at ways to minimise the risk of being impacted by weather delays. My SYD-DFW QF7 flight was delayed (via PHX for...
