| Qantas Ticket Downgrades at the Gate |
In recent weeks, several AFF members have reported being involuntarily downgraded on Qantas tickets. In each case, the flight was operated by a Qantas partner airline.
In one recent example, ozflier had paid for a full-price Business Class flight to South America with Qantas. The trip included a flight from Auckland to Santiago on Qantas' partner LATAM Airlines.

Then, upon arrival in Auckland, this member learned they had been downgraded to Economy for the long overnight flight across the South Pacific.
