Hi team, I am doing a domestic flight in a couple of weeks with my family, VA metal using Krisflyer points to book. We have a 1yo who is turning 2 a couple of weeks after we travel, and really needs his own seat as he sits still for around 5 seconds. When I booked there was no option to book a...

Since 14 June 2022 I have been trying to get Qantas to ticket me on alternative flights due to a schedule change by Japan Airlines. Today, 8 July 2022, I got my e-ticket. I am still waiting on my wife’s (we booked separately as she was a chance to cancel her booking). This was a classic reward...
