Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[madrooster]

@madrooster do you know if an involuntary change months out, QF can substitute a QF flight with an EK flight? (Already started the OWA).

For a schedule change, no, you need to remain on oneworld. For an involuntary reroute within airport control window, yes you can.

To expand on this in the context of a OWA…

Hypothetical routing FRAxNRTxMNL-SYD.

Airlines JL,JL, QF.

QF ticket stock (obviously)

Would a JL schedule change on either sector enable a switch to HND-BNE or HND-SYD on QF metal?

If I call what is the likelihood they will be able to change my classic award to the following day?

Quite good IMO.

Sure, if there are award seats available on the alternative route, you may be able to change free of charge.

I don’t see a reason for QF to create inventory to accommodate a schedule change by a partner.

QF is not required to offer up space on their own services due to an OAL schedule change. In this case JL is the faulting carrier... not QF.

If it were the other way around, where QF caused a misconnect at MNL where QF20 had a schedule change, then yes, QF can offer up space on alternative services. That's because QF is the faulting carrier.

I have seen instances where contact centre staff who aren't across the procedures and policies may do things out of line with policy... if you get lucky, you get lucky.

You can always request a seat release if platinum or above on QF services at the time of such a schedule chnage and move across that way, if you can successfully obtain inventory that way, otherwise no, you'd have to work with whatever JL is willing to give.
