The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

[RareAir]

@rare- another thought - just to double check - has your ticket been issued? Do you have the eticket receipt with ticket number? I am sure you do, just want to be sure for you. Sometimes that can cause probs for upgrade requests (not to mention flying).

I get you are short a few points, and that could be the generic way of saying so - and probably is the case. Just wanted to check.

Yes thanks e-ticket issued

Am booked in business on QF79 operated by an A333 and logged in at T-80 to try to change my seat to 1A/K, but these have remain blocked and only 1E/F have opened up. Is this normal? I thought all blocked seats opened up at T-80. There are two other seats in business showing on EF as vacant.

1A and K are the bassinet positions on that type.

Perhaps the flight has pax booked with infants and these pax are yet to select seats ( though you’d think the system would auto-assign them).

Or they’re taken? EF will show if taken or blocked.

Interesting, I wonder if it's simply the system blocking off bassinet seats until check-in opens?

EF shows they're blocked, not occupied.

I have a vague recollection that on some recent flights they opened around T-24. I wasn’t paying too much attention as I already had a 2A/K seat (proper window seat).

Do they have extra flight deck crew for 10hr flight?
If so, it could be blocked for flight deck crew rest?

I'll report back at T-24.

No idea. On previous such flights though I never noticed crew occupying any of the seats.
