BA Pilots strike impacting on Qantas award booking - advice please

[MEL_Traveller]

I don't think that would have helped as BA is the only oneworld carrier that services LYS.

I initially thought this too, but Iberia flies there, as well as Iberia Express.

According to the oneworld map, LYS-MAD is marketed by IB but operated by Air Nostrum which I don't believe is a oneworld member (it certainly can't be used on the xONEx product anyway). I don't see any IB marketed and operated in the map.

Air Nostrum IS permitted on the xONEx product .....

Who told you it was not ?

My mistake. I don’t see YW in the list of accepted carriers but I see it’s listed further done in the very long rule sheet.

I flew Iberia Express (I2, who are a Oneworld Affiliate) on LYS-MAD and after making a missing points claim, received points and status credits with QFF. They actually gave me the wrong booking class, so I got an extra 5SC. I was actually told I couldn't use the lounge, and didn't bother trying, though that didn't sound right. Did get priority baggage tags though (not that that's worth much given the time it takes for the first bag to appear at MAD).

But this is a bit off-topic...

Wow that seems a very quick reply. My Dad is trying to claim EU261 given he had a flight LHR-BCN in J ended up going LHR-MAD-BCN delaying him by 5 hours or so from final destination. This was around 5 weeks ago, only just got a follow up saying "We are still looking into this". Maybe I should make him create a twitter account to get it resolved quicker!

I don’t like the prospects based on Qantas official position on this specific outage

Qantas Award Booking? You should have contacted Qantas first.

Their policy with oneworld bookings on Qantas (081-) tickets is to re-accommodate on alternate oneworld flight(s) in the same cabin as booked at no charge.

Qantas and Other Airline Schedule Change Policy

A schedule change is an involuntary change to a flight more than 72 hours prior to flight departure. A disruption is an involuntary change inside 72 hours. This policy outlines options for managing and servicing your customer’s booking for Qantas and other airline tickets.
