Has anyone had any success in making a change without the $150 change fee after ticketing but before departure? In hindsight I would have changed a connection (same day / date / airline) but it's not worth $150 to me.

ur best bet is if there is a schedule change, but otherwise the $150 seems pretty routinely applied.
 
When LH cancelled one of their routes that I was booked on I was able to change the itinerary for free... Something also happened, think a change in schedule of one of my flights which meant that i got a third stopover (I had one in Atlanta and in Frankfurt and then my transit in Washington got changed so that I am actually here for 25.5 hours but they just let that one go..)
 
Same here, both my wife's and mine accounts are showing 25,000 bonus points.
Fantastic!
 
Got my points through to my 3 accounts this morning too. Immediately phoned up US and put my reservations on hold :-) Then, thanks to some other tips from this thread, waited a few hours and sure enough, extra seats popped up in one of the flights, so now we can all travel together in J on one flight rather than splitting over 2 days :-D

Thanks again to the OP for bringing this to my attention in the first place.

Hi Guys, Trying to see Thai J availability for next year April PER-Bkk-FRA and there doesnt seem to be any J at all from BKK-FRA :( Can anyone help please??
 
Thats what I am fearing. I cant see any availability on 920 or 922 to FRA from BKK and I have tried from Feb to April in j:(

Could be related to them bringing on the A380.

Dont think so. Was just looking around Xmas time and there are plenty of F & J seats available on the A380 - so no SQ style blocking.

...lack of April is probably just TG being TG and being slow to load award inventory.

Word on FT has it that it may just be due to TG being slow to load the inventory for that period.
 
When I booked my seats on TG920/921 in Dec/Jan, a lot of them didn't show up in Aeroplan. I could see them in ExpertFlyer (Z for business, P for first) and they were bookable with US Airways.
 
Thats great thanks for the replies I will just hang on and see how Thai go opening up availability for April in the next few weeks
 
Nice to see but not so good that you apparently have to do it via points.com again rather than just directly from the airline.
