Thank you. That’s a good idea to speak to the call centre and see if they’ll switch them over for me.

How long does it typically take for points to be returned if you cancel an award booking with VFF? I booked a biz trip to Europe yesterday and today a better itinerary is available for less points. I don’t have enough points to book the new one so would need to cancel the old one and wait...

Yeah it's a pain. Had a hockey team in PER VA lounge last time I was there. They were SO loud and noisy. As soon as they left it was blissfully quiet.

Awesome! I have 3 days in October coming up in Japan. Thanks so much.

I guess this is not for stays already booked during that period?

Thank you @Mattg! I have a stay in Istanbul coming up in May so it was great to see this offer and register. :)

I’m doing this exact routing in October also coming back KIX-TPE with a few days in Taipei. Can’t wait to try CI. Heard great things. Seats.aero is amazing. Saves so much time. Worth the subscription.

Do they still have a choice of Champagnes? I was there in 2019 and loved the food and Champagne. I think there were 2 on offer.

That's very helpful info! Arrive on a Saturday morning, so there shouldn't be too much travel traffic then. Unfortunately, there are not many flight options for SYD-BNK. There is only VA at 10:50am and the next one is Jetstar at 3pm. Your idea of staying on QF is actually good one in...

I really miss the podcast too!

Thank you for the insight. Yes, bags could be the issue. I assume I must collect at MEL International, go through security/immigration, and then drop bags or recheck for the domestic. So if I have to recheck, perhaps my best chance is to ask at the QF desk when I re-check if I can get on an...

Thanks. That's what I'm wondering. CR tickets seem to have almost no flexibility, unless there's another CR seat available. My question is asking if anyone has had experience of being able to get on an earlier flight when it's a CR booking when there are no CR seats available. And does being...

I'm on a QF CR (JAL) business ticket NRT-MEL-SYD in early June. The flight NRT-MEL lands at 5:35am but then the MEL-SYD leg doesn't leave until 8am. I hope to catch a regional VA flight SYD-BNK at 10:50 a.m. because it's my best option without having to wait many hours at SYD for the next one...

Have you tried using seats.aero to find award availability? I've used it to book 5 international business rewards with VF points in the last 6 months. I'm not surprised there's nothing in April, though (from your screenshot). I generally book 6-11 months out. I did a quick search from MEL -...

‭US Number: +1 (866) 919-0081‬ then 2 for Engish then 3 for LM department

The first flight is SQ, and the second one is TK. Yes, the update is showing in the SQ app. I just got through to LM fairly quickly and got them to reissue the e-ticket. I have such little trust in LM that I want to cover all my bases!

I just got an email from SQ about a change of flight bookings with LM. The difference is only an arrival time of 5 minutes later. I clicked the ACCEPT button, and it said I'd be sent a new e-ticket, but nothing arrived. I guess this means I have to call LM and ask them to re-issue the ticket...

I don’t feel optimistic about your chances of getting new CR seats opened but you could try emailing [email protected]

Yeah, they tightened it up after everyone went nuts when Ozbargain and a number of travel influencers shared it. I just booked another 2 policies though and got 10K offer for Tasmania for 4 days (real trip) this week.

It’s a big ask but may be possible on UA. What month are you wanting to travel? I would be using seats.aero search HACK: United Business Class Australia To America For $487
