    80 minute connection from QF to Cathay in HKG - doable? legal?

    The faulting carrier, so in this case QF, is responsible for rebooking.

    80 minute connection from QF to Cathay in HKG - doable? legal?

    I would say this is an unwise move knowing QF's tendency to be late. The MCT is 1h at HKG for QF->CX.

    Qantas Courtesy Upgrade Love

    It's all routes, both domestic and international. They were originally supposed to end at the end of June and they were reinstated in mid July so there was a 2 week period in early July where they did not do these comp upgrades. No, they are processed by the same automation robot that...

    How to change my ex-CAI RTW ticket to a JL flight?

    No. Most oneworld carriers have it filed, in USD. AT for some reason has it filed as a lower fare... they didn't get the memo it seems.

    My DONE4 (oneworld RTW) booking experience

    QF can actually be fairly generous in earnings and in the right circumstances, QF ticket stock can be worth it. For just one QF flight crediting to QFF, for a well engaged member... there's the base QF points/SCs earn, Accor points if you have a linked Accor account, QBR points if you have a...

    How to confirm refund amount?

    This is mostly never true except for some obscure scenarios. There will always be something refundable... taxes for one, and potentially some of the fare. Lots of people think they won't get anything back, but that's actually incorrect. The majority don't know/think they can actually get...

    Oneworld Explorer ticketing

    It sounds like you've struggled enough with making sense of it all already. Please feel free to message me privately and I can sort one out for you. The rule was removed completely from the fare rules around Feb 2019 as it is long obsolete. The original rule where the fare charged had to be...

    Oneworld Explorer ticketing

    There is a catch though - you have to do an AA overwater segment and that one segment costs a few hundred easily in fuel fines. QR, QF, AS and JL are overall the best ticketing carriers for these.

    Missing Credit Madness [Qantas refusing Credit for Travel on Partner/oneworld Airlines]

    BA U class redemptions were crediting to QFF as BA I class, not J class. To this day I cannot figure out why BA was rewriting the class to I class. It was BA sending the I class across, it had nothing to do with QF other than QF just crediting as per BA's data.

    Linking JAL flight to Qantas Account

    QF don't have viewership rights for JL created PNRs. QF has viewership of BA/CX/UL/AY created PNRs even when there's no QF content, hence you can add these PNRs to the QF app ... that's all the ones I'm aware of. Of course, QF can always view a PNR that contains QF content, or has had QF...

    Linking JAL flight to Qantas Account

    Not anymore. When they moved to Amadeus they were forced by Amadeus to adopt pretty much the full suite of Amadeus products. I believe there's still a frontend ie. website difference where they maintain domestic vs international manage booking tools, but in the backend it's all Amadeus.

    Obtain PNR of the Airline you are Flying when Booked via a different program?

    You're confusing distribution agreements with PSS (passenger servicing system). Airlines generally sign distribution agreements with all major GDSes. Thus VS would have a distribution agreement with Amadeus, Sabre and Galileo/Travelport and possibly others. They would possibly also have a...

    Oneworld Explorer ticketing

    The global explorer, which has a 34000 mile limit, is the same price as the oneworld explorer, which doesn't have a mileage limit. Sometimes the underlying system throws up the global explorer fare by default instead of the oneworld explorer fare. I suspect this is the reason behind why the...

    Obtain PNR of the Airline you are Flying when Booked via a different program?

    You'll need to call VS to get the GA record locator. VS is actually hosted on Deltamatic. They moved from SHARES about 10 years ago so that they could be on the same platform as DL which makes pax servicing a lot simpler.

    American Airlines Will No Longer Award Miles Unless You Book Direct

    That's probably an understatement. A lot of US agencies in particular effectively stopped selling AA unless someone specifically asked for AA.
