Called QF hope against hope to request a relatively last minute reward seat to LAX for a couple of weeks time (long story, not relevant here as to why ). Some flights had A and I class, some had I0(return) but I thought cant hurt to ask.
MEL-LAX J released on the spot for either 93 or 95. I cheekily asked about F on 93... a couple of minutes... I have a seat in F! Return flight date both flights on 787's J opened up (I0 flight) instantly as well on the 94. I ask about the 96 as I would prefer the later flight all things being equal and well that's requested and gone for manual review, but super agent in HBA (who was fantastic with all my requests and changes on the fly) seemed to think it should clear in 24h. He has put the booking on hold for a week just in case.
I don't know if the P1 gave any more "clout" over WP making this request, but I was super impressed given it's just a few weeks (and fares are insane)
Super impressed and again all done, bar that flight on request, instantly "computer says yes" ...
Fantastic agent. I believe his name was Rahat(or similar to that). He said he was in HBA. Fantastic service.
