Isn't simply 5K FF pts / pax and refund of all taxes paid? That's what it cost me when I cancelled an F rdpt early Sept.

Correct. I just wasn't sure whether you had to have 5000 points in the account to cancel, or whether they deduct that from the ticket you already have.Isn't simply 5K FF pts / pax and refund of all taxes paid? That's what it cost me when I cancelled an F rdpt early Sept.
Hmmm ...As I said - I just know that my 'china plate' serfty will respond with exact timing of award seat release.
I knew you wouldn't let me down - just a week late - I sweated on QF site last Sat til 10am and up popped 1 x F avail on 93 MEL-LAX - was all over it - I actually wanted 2 but alas didn't eventuate - but thanks for thinking of me 'Cyril lover'!Hmmm ...
It midnight UTC, 353 days in advance.
I always state it as 10am Brisbane time as local time varies in those states with daylight saving.

Been a busy week - just put in 3 x 11 hour "professional" work days in a row.- just a week late -
Back on matters QF - anybody here tried to get their name updated in QF profile? Like add a middle name which is reqd to ticket USA flts? What a nightmare:
serfty will explain how to overcome droop? I'll look forward to thatSerfty will explain how you can rectify that if you encounter it!
I cannot show you a snip from the QF web site right now MEL as it is on iPad at home but I will do so ASAP - original booking 'disappeared' because it could not be ticketed without my middle name in profile - QF agent was able to manually input middle name and re-instate original booking.Middle name is not required for travel to the USA, despite what it might say.

I have NFI - all I did was wait until 10am - up pops 1 x F - so I grab it - input pmt details etc and thought that is it. I received email from QF saying they require this:Interesting - but how would the system know you have a middle name? Or did you enter the middle name on the ticket booking page but it's not on your QFFF profile?
I tried to achieve this a number of times but it just would not accept the info - so after booking eventually disappeared I called QF and that's when she informed me no middle name in my profile was the problem - it has me stumped!Step 2: Provide your Advance Passenger Information and Secure Flight Passenger Data before we can issue your tickets. This information is mandatory for travel to the US.
Step 3: Your tickets will be issued once this information has been received.
@MEL - this is what appeared on QF site in Your Bookings 5 days after I booked F rdpt on 93 MEL-LAX:
After I made rdpt I followed steps in QF email - but when I tried to input APIS details would not accept it - next I knew booking changed to above - call to QF and my middle name updated manually and booking reinstated - too complicated for a simpleton like me!
Try not to take it personally, rows 1 and 2 are blocked to non-status passengers. At T-80 jump online as that's when all seats open up.I know I am probably one of QF's least lucrative customers, but is it really necessary to block out 2/3 of the cabin to me?
Folks, Mrs Fish and I have booked 2x J awards BNE-ADL for a Barossa weekend coming up (on a 737). As a NB, rows 1 and 2 are blocked to me in seat selection.
Now row 3 is fine for me when we're not travelling with Toddler Fish, but some other poor plebs (NB too, I assume) have already chosen 3C and 3D, so we're left with 3A and 3F.
While a stranger is much less likely to interrupt my ipad movie which I am more than OK with, my lovely bride would prefer we sit together.
The call centre's solution was to not chose a seat and link the bookings (which are separate) in the expectation (hope) that the airport will seat us together. Is that all I can do, or is there a particular day I should call up and try and sort it out?

Not always. The points will be deducted when the redemption is ticketed. That can take ~2 weeks as happened to me August/September.Sorry for the dumber question - if you make a QF rdpt online are the pts instantaneously deducted from your account as per SQ?
