Qantas to release thousands of Classic Reward seats in Y, PE, J, F on 24 Feb 2023 around 11am

[ShrinkWrapped]

I still just see the same, Qantas flights available short notice (next 90 days or so) and all the rest is Jetstar codeshare. That said - is there much of a difference between Qantas A330 and Jetstar 787? Same legroom, similar reliability. Might just bite the bullet and book the Jetstar ones.

I agree

ICN/HKG/HND all drawing blanks except for JQ

Can't even book a rev fare at the moment.

Doesn't help the folks with millons of QF points.

Now I'm just getting the "three dots increasing" ... I'm hoping that is an improvement over a 500 error ?

Flights showing availability on ExpertFlyer don't seem to be bookable using AA or AS miles

Collecting millions of QF points was their first mistake.

I've just looked on CXs website for the same Singapore > Melbourne flight that I've been trying on the Qantas website for hours - not only does it require more Asia miles (compared to QFF points), but I can't even use my QFF points to book on CX.

Sorry to be blunt, but unfortunately that post is next to useless within this thread.

I'm sure if CX had a sale going on, their website would experience some issues too.

That's for antother thread.

Availability to Haneda in 2024 seemed better yesterday (JAL flights were available at least) than today.

I should have just booked yesterday.

Well the flights I wanted have disappeared during the error fest. Disappointing but to be expected I guess

Just totally brick walls with 500 errors.. I have a call into the call center but if they are also under pressure who knows the chaos and the risks of errirs - especially with their track record over the last year.... Maybe wait a day, I think.....

I assume trying to book in the app results in same error?

I managed to snap up a bunch of seats SYD-LAX-SYD for way less than QF using CX miles, so it was very handy for me. All within a matter of seconds.

It's very handy for those of us who don't put all their eggs in one basket.

This is true but for the overnight return I'd much rather a lie-flat.

Also I'm just being opportunistic because I'm currently booked ICN-KUL in Y and KUL-ADL in J and don't want to have to endure 5 hrs in Y and I'm still yet to acquire a set of pyjamas

yea same issues for me

I'd 100% pick the QF A330 over a JQ B787.

The 2-4-2 layout works a lot better for pairs, unless you're travelling in a group of 3 (as JQ is 3-3-3).

Not only that, but also included in-flight amenities / food / entertainment.

Thanks, the seat layout is a big attraction. I could take or leave the food and amenities. I'll have to decide if it's worth the risk of waiting for a short notice rewards fare

All the CX availability appears to have been pulled, all gone from BA.com as well

What site and with what points?

On AA you have to call. Check the onemileatatime post, multiple people have called for first class and got them via AA.

Makes you wonder how many "lucky" pax got bookings today, that may not be there tomorrow.
