QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

[encryptededdy]

But why give BNE the precious day slot instead of leaving the SYD flight in the day slot? You'd think you use best slot for biggest market.

Because there's only one flight to SYD a day, and evidently they think it's better off as an overnight. Evidently Qantas doesn't see the day slot as more precious than the night slot.

impact as booked airport hotel for early morning departure which not need it late night departure, better to stay in Tokyo

Yep, I'm impacted too Used a Qantas hotels $100 voucher which cannot be refunded.

daytime JAL flight

JL51 is overnight
The only daytime will be ANA's NH889

So I need to insist I'm moved to BNE flight then, hopefully being WP might help with that (but will require an overnight in Brisbane and being on early morning flight to get t work on time come Monday since last flight form BNE to SYD is at 8:45pm which doesn't meet MCT).

Or work out a multi-stop way home via somewhere else.

Or even hope their request gets denied and SYD flights remain in original slot.

We're OT but that comes down to yield.

The numbers in EF can only be used as a very rough guide, but I see more 9s on the day flight than I do on the overnight flight.

That doesn't directly corelate to revenue or profit, but it certainly appears loads are higher at night than they are in the day.

To get back on topic:

SYD-SCL various dates June I5>I3 declined

School holidays so not surprised.
