On Request F (p) your experiences please for reference.

[Bindibuys]

Quick back story: Daughter on her honeymoon US/Canada. I have already booked them CX Bos-Hkg-Syd in J on 28 Jan 2024. (they are in NY for Xmas with his family, and BOS was the only city I could find with Awards seats in J to get them home)

Wanted to gift them F experience. As a WP I have asked QF to release P seats on QF12 Lax-Syd on 28 Jan 2024. That request is now "On Request"

May I hear your experiences on having QF tickets on request.

How long before the flight did you get notified?
Success rate?

I need to work out at what point do I arrange flight from JFK to LAX to connect with this flight. A couple of days prior in LAX is fine, but also don't want to loose the J flight home out of BOS if request is declined.

Lets be careful to not confuse Air China (CA), a Star member and PRC government airline with China Airlines (CI) of Taiwan, who QF have a relationship with.

It can be common for some to confuse the two carriers with the similar names.

As per @RichardMEL was referring specifically to CA (Air China)

I will fess up I got confused and made a honest mistake. Although I am *G I used to also get confused between AC and CA and search on the wrong codes, most of my *A travel was with SQ, NH or OZ but mainly SQ. It just goes to prove after 3 years of reduced travel I am no longer 'match fit' . My booking is with CI.

No travel class?

No travel class?

The no travel class information is a limitation of the QF/CI booking engine. CI business rewards are fare bucket O. I have a QF ticket number and the PNR can be used on the CI website so I am safely tucked away in 12A.

There are also 2 lavatories at the back of J cabin before economy. Not sure what the SO is and do not really care. We are starting to go OT.
