Re: Sucessful ASA Bookings booked at classic rates Reference Guide

I have formatted the data into a Google Docs spreadsheet up to this post using the format:

Date | Cabin | Route | Points | Co-pay | credit-card? | Max points cost (if known) | SCs earned | Classic co-pay*

The spreadsheet should be able to be viewed by anyone, as long as your local network does not restrict access. I.e. you do not need to request permission from me to view it.

Please PM me any suggestions you have to improve it, to save this thread becoming distracted from its intended purpose.

This is the link

*There has been a request for the Classic Award co-payment to be included, to compare with the ASA rate. So as you do your homework before booking kindly take note of it and include it if possible. Ta.

[TD="align: right"]$1,194.00[/TD]

The co-payment seems to have increased somewhat. Last year I was seeing 128k points + approx $680 one way SYD-LHR (I think the return was also similar, but maybe it's the LHR ADT). Did QF reduce the Fuel Surcharges for LHR routes to align with EK? I'm also consistently finding no QF2 LHR-SYD classic awards up to 350 days out.

How did you find out the cancellation conditions?

When booking an international flight so far ahead anything can happen and it would be nice to know if cancelled you could get your points back.

I asked about refunds and was advised that it would be a full refund, no restrictions or other fees. That is what I had expected but obviously wanted to make sure.
She then mentioned there may be a 3500 point change fee (for date change) - may have been confused with classic awards? It does not make sense, in this case you could just get a refund and book a new one?

MrsOpusman spent about an hour on the phone with QF last week trying to change a JASA, kept getting different stories about change fees and obviously the CSOs had no idea. She ended up getting charged 3500 pts, then at my prompting rang back to get it refunded, and got told that yes they would refund the points but they would charge $77 instead :shock:

I pm'd Red Roo at this point and it is apparently being looked into but she hasn't heard anything yet... ridiculous that the CSOs can't just look up the fare conditions but it seems like this is beyond a lot of them. To contrast, I changed a JASA of my own last week and it was done and dusted within 5 minutes with no mention of any sort of fee. Maybe being WP is the trick.

Re: Sucessful ASA Bookings booked at classic rates Reference Guide

Booked Today:

17/10/13 / U (Business) / MEL- ADL 40 SC
17/10/13 / X ( Economy) / ADL - MEL 10 SC

Total 24,000 points, $193.76 in Taxes/fees (Not sure if CC Fee was applied by the Agent on this occasion)

Sorry, not the best example to put on the Spread sheet due to the mixed class of the booking, but hope it helps.

With Double Status Credit Promotion at play this will get me over the line to Platinum. Yay !

Why would you book a X, they are never good value as the copay is normally more than a paid fare? ADL -MEL is 16K and $116, so the YASA cost 8000 points and $76??

Fair point, maybe should have thought that through as MEL >ADL is quite inexpensive in Economy.

However I did not intend to burn more points than needed to get me to the required number of status credits of platinum. 100 SC with a Double Status Credit promotion in play gets me over the line.
