Domestic flights ticketing timescale

[Mickey Mouse]

Very simple question for the experts...

How long before I should worry about lack of ticketing for a multi-leg domestic reward flight? I know its a big problem for bookings on partner airlines, and seem to recall that its not supposed to be a big issue on QF - but... obviously I don't want to lose the seats and get a "oh, sorry, no seats anymore ..." reply!
(Booking made by agent of course, as QF IT wasn't match-fit).

... been days, no points taken, no visibility on upcoming flights list ...

No worries?

No points taken…I’d be worried and making a call. Never had an issue with domestic ticketing on multi leg rewards.

QF won't cancel its own bookings for ticketing errors. If it gets to that point it gets sent to a manual queue which is actioned by date of travel.

You can call and try to get it fixed if you want, but it should sort itself out eventually. If it's not sorted by T-80, then I'd definitely call.

Thanks for replies. Seems like it might just sit for ages. (Then disappear, given my luck!)

QF domestic rewards ticketing is normally pretty quick, I normally get it a few minutes after the call ends (if made through call centre). Sometimes the points may take longer to come out.

As mentioned above domestic ticketing seems to happen really quickly, the only exception is TL (Air North) operated QF marketed flights where I've found needs to be re ticketed and in my case wasn't done manually (have been burnt by this showing up at Broome Airport on new years day 2 hours prior to departure only to be told my ticket wasn't valid).
