Morning All
Received an email from Qantas yesterday notifying me of time changes to my QF5 flight on the 25th July. It's now flying to Singa via Jakarta, leaving Sydney at 13.25 and arriving Singa at 22.30 for a duration of 11h 05min . Called Qantas this morning and they weren't sure why this was happening. Flights on the 24th and 26th July are currently keeping the same original timing and routing. I'm actually flying originating in Melbourne, currently booked on QF426 and was planning a few hours flounging in Syd. Qantas have offered to book me straight on the direct QF35 but obviously this means I'm down 40SC (all flights revenue in J)
So first off I'm wondering if anyone knows why the flight is being diverted via Jakarta or has experience of this diversion (issues / delays etc?).
Secondly I'm pondering what my best option is from the following:-
1) Take the QF35 and lose the 40SC
2) Move QF426 to an earlier flight, enjoy the flounge and the tour of SE Asia
3) Move QF426 to a later flight and take the Emirates flight Syd to Singa
4) Move all flights to 24th July (Least favourite option as possibility of losing days work and $)
I'm WP with a renewal date 31st Oct. Lagging slightly behind the countdown at the moment as have had lots of Melbourne based work lately, currently sitting on 490SCs. However next few months looking fairly hectic so i should get across the line again this year. Open to anyone's thoughts and any other options i may have missed.
Thanks
