    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    QF is not required to offer up space on their own services due to an OAL schedule change. In this case JL is the faulting carrier... not QF. If it were the other way around, where QF caused a misconnect at MNL where QF20 had a schedule change, then yes, QF can offer up space on alternative...

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    The taxes can change almost daily due to exchange rate movement and other factors. Ask them to process this as a voluntary change, with the change fee waived due to the cabin downgrade. This way you will get your points back and your taxes back now rather than after travel.

    Confirmed upgrade then IROPs, what to expect.

    If it's one ticket, and AA is late, then AA would rebook you in J for the transpacific. However, if everything is full, then you may need to downgrade in order to get home in a reasonable time.
