Halfway there... I'll cheer you on from the sidelines!

they did Mel - nz before the Australia to Melbourne . Oh that’s confusing

Current situation on the same date/same booking. Previously was BNE-MEL-CHC. Now booking has MEL-CHC and BNE-MEL separately.

heres my suggestion .
For the brisbane to Melbourne ask to go the night before .

(Just pay the accomodation to stay at Melbourne )

go to the first class lounge for breakfast & lunch .

They also have flagship check in at Melbourne airport .

I hate the 8-10am flights leaving AU for NZ as they "waste" a day. I'll look for a rebooking on an afternoon flight that arrives around midnight in NZ.

Hi, I have a status run this Saturday from SYD-OOL-MEL-AKL. The SYD-OOL and OOL-MEL-AKL segments are separate bookings. I’m wondering if Qantas might cancel or reschedule due to the cyclone. If I get rescheduled to be like Syd -AKL, could i get still double status credits as per original booking?

Yes you'll need to request for ORC

status run this Saturday from SYD-OOL-MEL-AKL

Hi, I am in a similar boat. MEL-BNE-AKL all in J on Saturday as part of the DSC promo. BNE is not closed yet but trying to understand my options regarding ORC.

An obvious alt is just take the MEl-AKL direct however am I correct in presuming that I have to wait to be forced to change (if required) to even be eligible or ORC?

Say for example, on Sat at MEL check-in it is known there are major delays getting into and out of brisbane such that I would miss the connection etc, but my flight isn't actually cancelled. If I ask to be rebooked on MEL-AKL would I be eligible for ORC as this is still technically a voluntary change?

Another issues is are you prepared for economy what if business sold out ??

I did consider that implication as well. We'd have to take it if that is all there is. Provided I can still get my business SCs with DSC I'll be a happy camper. Once those are locked in then I'll ask for compensation for the downgrade lol.

Welcome to AFF @FlyingCasually hope it all pans out without too much drama.

In the Newbie Question thread, read my post #2571 re downgrade and refund/compensation.

Whatever happens, keep your physical boarding passes and emails of change notifications.

Also the see the Qantas PE downgrade to Economy thread.
Good luck!

I wouldn’t be asking for refund . Because they might cancel your booking

I would ask for orc ,after flight
but sometimes then compensation may not apply cause you agree to downgraded flight

Accept downgrade.

Fly.

Then apply for refund of fare difference.

Agree re ORC @JIMMYTHEJET

But best to get fare difference with downgraded class fare sorted and compensation - need to have conversation rather than email @FlyingCasually

Wait a bit, then email for ORC as that is important for your status run.

Economy last resort
