I am looking to find flights to get back to Australia mid next year .
I am hoping to score business reward seats from JFK-AKL- .
I just cannot find any seats even in economy to give me an indication that the flights are open for reward bookings.
I am going to have to find a day when there are "I" class seats on sale and revenue prices available under "Business Sale".
I rang QFF yesterday and did not get thru to Hobart - the agent says they were all very busy because of faults in the booking system !
In any case , I requested release of seats 22 and 23 June 2024 where the above criteria were there , The agents refused to send thru the query because there were NO economy reward seats available on those flights!
I tried to explain that sometimes there are no reward seats in any class available on the standard QFF reward booking engine but Platinums could request Business seats as long they were in the appropriate window.
I would have thought that at 350 or so days ahead , that I would have had a chance .
I did check DFW-SYD on the net and they had economy rewards out as far as 2 July 2024.
In any case , I will try tomorrow and hopefully get Hobart.
Any similar experiences?
