The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

I have an AAward for QF Y SYD-MEL, and then JL Y+ MEL-NRT on the next day. It is 22 hour transit but stay at MEL overnight.

Can I check through all the luggages to NRT at SYD and pick up both boarding passes at SYD, or I have to pick up all luggages at MEL, and then check in at MEL to NRT next day?

Im trying to set up a fare alert, but it seems to deafult to whY and I cant seem to find a way to get an alert only for J on specific date. Any clues?

Unless you deliberately provide a low price that may never get met, doesn't this simply provide the airline with insight into how much over the odds you're prepared to pay?

No overnight baggage in Australia afaik. So yes you'll need to take your bags then check in again thr next morning

My understanding is that it just notifies you if the price drops below the price at the time you set the alert, you don't set a price.

Given the route I'm watching Is not currently on sale, it would just let me know if that changes.

I have purchased J on the route before, so QF already knows what I've been willing to pay in the past, not worried about that at all.

My issue is that it only seems to work for whY and given there is not always a correlation between whY and J sales that doesn't help me.
