QF previously had full access to QR PNRs... they don't anymore. The change happened at Amadeus level.

Send me the flights and dates. The lowest class you need to earn at BA is N class so it'll only be a mild hike compared to the lowest Q class you're seeing online.

Make sure AS can see your bag tag number in their PNR. Otherwise they may not onload it as it won't reconcile. As you've found it's becoming harder and harder to do separate ticket through checks on separate PNRs... for this reason it's better to have it all ticketed on one PNR to curb any issues.

Assuming that you flew: QF SYD-LAX stopover at LAX IB LAX-MAD stopover at MAD AY MAD-HEL-ICN stopover at ICN QF ICN-SYD The ultimate ticketed destination is MAD which is outside of USA/Canada therefore the US/Canada baggage rules do not apply. This means that each journey will potentially have...

If a pax asks for USA as the destination and mentions Finnair, a typical travel agent would probably ignore it since there's no Finnair Australia-USA fare via the Pacific. In relation to commission, NH pays no commission ex-Australia to USA anyway. AY would've actually paid a lot more. Not...

You will need to collect at Sydney domestic and make your own way to international and re-check in with BA.

Yes.

If it's one booking with a bronze and a platinum, the upgrade request, as long as it's requested by the platinum, will be processed at platinum priority. The source of the points for the redemption is irrelevant.

For SIN (QF-QF and SQ-SQ) and DXB (EK-EK) you'll get incorrect inventory doing this, as segments within 72 hours at SIN/DXB will marry and therefore married segment inventory is how a SIN stopover should be looked at. Unfortunately EF is not capable of handling this scenario correctly.

https://www.bankwest.com.au/personal/credit-cards/no-annual-fee No foreign fees, mastercard so has better FX rates and comes with reasonable travel insurance that has no activation requirements.

Yes. As many as 8 seats for long hauls.

If it's under 24 hours in DXB you must search as MEL-BOS to get correct inventory.

1. No. The requests are independent of each other. The date of request is only used as a tie breaker within the class you've booked so the majority of the time it's not even looked at. Someone booked in a higher class than you, of equal status, will have higher priority to clear. Eg. someone...

Is this a connection in DXB within 72 hours?

Yes.

The ticketing robot takes about 5-10 mins to issue a ticket for any carrier. So if it's any longer than that, either the robot rejected it, or there's something else wrong with the PNR.

This loophole exists in the old reservations system that up until recently was the main system in use, however they've mostly transitioned to the new reservations system now and the new reservations system does not exhibit the same behaviour.

EF sprouts a lot of incorrect info these days... I found the AA2165 in question and yes the MCT is 40 mins.

The correct MCT for D to I at LAX on AA to AA, even from the eagle's nest, is 40 mins.

All QF Y fares to Europe haven't allowed DXB stopovers for well over a year now.
