Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[Captain Halliday]

I haven't looked for a 4-seat itinerary since Covid but I suspect it is even more difficult than before; and it was extremely difficult then (as I was looking for J).

I’ve not been able to successfully make one work for 3 pax post covid.

Was able to put three together prior to covid.

Anything more than 2 pax has always been a challenge; Extremely unlikely using QF but not impossible.

OTOH, SQ often has 3, 4 or even 5 seats on the same flight. But the cost in points and taxes is often lower than

If I make a change to a OWA booking, do fees get charged extra/refunded for the difference? This example I've found a different flight on the same route that has ~$700 lower fees, and I've never tried making such a change - so unsure if I'll be refunded or if I am still charged the original rate.

In theory they will reprice the whole itinerary, so if your new flight is cheaper but the other flights have gone up you could still end up paying more. In my experience they will charge more if the price is higher but they seldom offer to refund if the new price is probably lower (and it is very difficult to verify what the fees should be or what you have already paid).

Not sure how many flights are in your itinerary, but as already posted, the whole itinerary will be repriced if you make a change.
