Qantas International Schedule changes

[justinbrett]

At least they offered to rebook you on Jetstar. When I had my Finnair awards changed last year I was told I could get a points refund and that was it - couldn't rebook me on anything as no reward availability.

In these situations they will always offer a refund as they seem to have done here.

The AY cancellation is outside of their control, so they will do less. The QF cancellation is within their control so they are supposed to offer more.

I thought JFK was a relatively strong route?

US Carriers have pulled back capacity into NZ so thought that would have only benefited this route.

It only went from 4 to 6 last week, so perhaps that was always the plan after the Christmas period was over. It’s only going down to 5 so still more than it was.

They’re also definitely making the most of NZ being curtailed so perhaps accounting for them to ramp up a bit. Increased capacity to DFW should lighten loads to JFK.

Super glad that the A380 is back into DFW. Yet more chopping and changing with JFK. I think the past year has seen it go from five to six and now back to five.

No, as above it went from 4 to 6 last week. Back to 5 after Christmas.

Key phrase - “if available”.

Of course nothing stopping you changing to other award options if there’s availability.

Award availability shouldn't be an issue if it's a QF change and generally their commerical policies are in line with that.
