Made it to SYD -check-in an security quick -look up at the board as I enter the lounge- and alert the staff that the flight is now scheduled for 2000 ...hope my late lunch does not turn into a dinner ....
Looks like QF like using the old configuration to LAX - should have checked expert flyer when I booked my ticket but grabbed it in the recent sale --I had the old one in June and now can see both ways LAX-SYD and SYD -LAX in October-certainly on my dates
Thank you for your advice.
I called right on 7am EST and this time Hobart answered the call----it was a different experience.
The agent confirmed U space -and the upgrade - in a couple of minutes
I booked a domestic itinerary after checking for upgrades on expert flyer but 2 flights (MEL--CNS via BNE ) did not clear -although still available in business for points,
I called -and after 1 hour on hold -I did not get anywhere with one of the offshore call centers
Is this a common issue...
Thanks for the offer but still unsure of my dates
I was trying to see what the business class options to Australia were like as I had not been back for almost 3 years and luckily Qantas has just kept extending my status
I have been looking at making a multi city booking from the US to Australia (essentially to SYD MEL CNS)-the international legs are in business but only options for the domestic ones are economy.
Pre COVID -domestic legs on a multi city booking always booked in business as well
Is this a change...
I am sure there are others in my situation.
I am an expat who has been working in the US for many years ---luckily in a flyover state with a relatively low incidence of COVID19.
I used to travel back to Australia twice per year to visit lots of family----some of whom are now elderly ---as old...
