    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    I saw that the seat was tapes and the ground crew couldn't fix it. I've also had 1A on the QF A388s become inoperable and had the crew move staff out of 1K or other seats for me. So I have witnessed all of these incidents myself.

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Yes, my understanding on QF Intl is they are supposed to ask pax. Was on QF23 in J, my partner and in 1E/F. Woke up and found my seat selection was gone. Rang and was told seat was unserviceable. Got to the airport and asked if we could have 1A/E so we could be next to each other and the...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Have called at least 20 times in a fortnight and got Fiji each time. Booked on BA and wanted to changed to QF with an award seat release request and don't trust Fiji with any of my bookings, but especially partner awards. 2PM yesterday got a wonderful HBA Agent. I said "I know QF1 is...

    EK metal partner phantom availability on QFF

    Does the availability exist on EK's website as an award? They don't always match but is a good indicator. Remember Married Segments as well so individual legs may offer less.

    How do Hyatt treat you as an Elite?

    My understanding of UrCove from FT is that is a brand intended for locals only. If that’s the case, Hyatt should remove them from the booking engine. But almost none of the properties have English speaking staff and none take AMEX

    Well I'm stumped. Classic Reward, multicity, release dates, I must be doing it wrong.

    All of the release dates (published and unpublished) prior to Covid can no longer be relief upon. The only exceptions are the ME3 and BA who release close to departure. I suspect QF have pulled Classic Rewards in the last month or more in preparation for Monday's announcement. Looking at DPS...

    Downgraded without notification - what are my options?

    I've said it ad nauseam - downgrades occur in order of fare class and status. A WP in U Class is going to be downgraded before a NB on full J.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    QF have zeroed out I class until November on QF43. Found 4 dates prior with I class, called and made the request. Will spare the Fiji call centre nonsense, but HBA got all of the dates released and were happy to hold them until we decided to ticket.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I called on Monday for an award release request. An agent in HBA put it through and was approved in minutes. He held the reservation while I worked out other details. I have called several times a day this week and been on hold for at least 20-40 mins each time and get an agent in Suva. I...

    How do Hyatt treat you as an Elite?

    Nice review, like your FT posts, too. I looked at this property. We only book villas and they must have separate living and dining, a private pool and an Ocean view from the inside and pool areas. The price for the Villas that meet these requirements at this property are as high as a lux...

    Sydney First check-in when flying EK first, booked through Qantas?

    Walking to the Express Path I've seen the QF F check in line snake outside the cordoned off area on many occasions during peak travel periods.

    Sydney First check-in when flying EK first, booked through Qantas?

    Exactly this. As someone who checks in at T-(120-90) I have never waited at EK Check in at SYD.

    Does fare type matter for Qantas upgrades?

    Upgrades (and downgrades) are processed according to status and fare class. There is also the PCV, but that's a Pandora's Box.

    EK Award Availability - But Wow - those Carrier Charges!

    The options are QF, BA, QR (If you can get more than one award if any) or EK with QFF points.

    EK Award Availability - But Wow - those Carrier Charges!

    EK F taxes to Europe are around $1,800 each one way. Return for two is this $7,200. They want extra revenue, even on awards, and are charging accordingly. Only you can decide if you think it’s worth it. I pay it because I would rather use it QFF points to fly a better F product.

    Recent Poor LAX Business Lounge and Business class flight QF16

    Is it possible that you were very cold and not the three different spaces that you describe? I am no QF defender, I find the crew average at best, but unsure that the luggage and temperate issues are that concerning. The ME3 run the cabins hot and it is MUCH harder to cool down than warm up on...
