The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

Just use a multi-city search and it works fine (even if just searching a single leg or a return).

Using the multi-city tool, I was able to get through to payment page for J and Y SYD-CTS RT (J around $6K, Y under $2K - in line with HND prices). Pretty sure the seat maps had tumbleweed.
Could also see plenty of YVR for $11-12K RT.
I haven't finalised my year-end plans, so had no reason to push the button.

Yup - still getting $22K. I think the personalised pricing algorithm has me. Skyscanner and Google still showing $12K.

Well, you beauty. Two hours after I noticed it, it now finds DPS and other ports ex MEL, HBA, BNE etc but finds nothing ex SYD.

They still want double the VA price for same B737 MEL-DPS and of course no award seats. Yet plenty will pay this! Bonkers.

Plenty of J award availability on SQ.

 

[SYD]

Not so much a gripe but curious observation. I have two seperate CR bookings SYD-HKG//HKG-SYD. The outbound seat map shows PAX initials as usual (FMS names) but the return shows SFM. It’s ticketed as usual First Middle Surname.

Is that a curious Chinese language thing or convention?
