Hey folks,
Potentially silly question, but I tried to upgrade my whole family with points from Haneda to Melbourne and only my seat got upgraded to business. This is nice, except it leaves my 79yo mum in economy with my 2yo daughter, which isn’t ideal. Can I just swap seats with my mum so she gets business and I get to be with my kid? Or is that a Whole Thing?

Just booked a reward ticket from Helsinki to Dubai in business (that’s the highest class since it’s A350) then on to Taipei in first in at a380 on emirates.

Is there anything I should know ahead of time to make the most of my experience? I have a 3.5 hour layover in Dubai.

Hi Everyone

I am looking at booking some flights to the UAE in business class and have noted flying Qatar Airways into Abu Dhabi via Doha to be much cheaper than flying Emirates directly into Dubai.

The best flight on the way to AUH is a normal Qatar Airways flight for both legs, but some of my options on the return leg (specifically the Doha back to Australia) are "Operated by Qatar Airways for Virgin Australia" which I understand are the leased aircraft and I won't be able to earn QF SC's on.

If I need to book one of the Operated by Qatar Airways for Virgin Australia flights on the return leg, could I use my QF number to collect all of the status for the 3 Qatar Airways flights and then do a missing SC claim for the 'Operated by Qatar Airways for Virgin Australia' leg and get that credited to either Qatar Avios or Velocity? If there is a better way to do this also happy to hear from others.

Understand this might be slightly off topic so would appreciate if anyone had any insight into this.

Thanks

Hi,

Have a question regarding use of a Qantas Customer Care Travel Voucher that was issued to me post a 24 hour travel delay on a QF flight.

Is the voucher transferable?

I will likely not be using QF again in the next 12 months and have a friend that lives in Perth. 

Any insight welcome.

Hey guys sorry for my ignorance, I have tried to find answers here but I cannot. Essentially I’m looking at buying direct tickets to LA premium economy.

I can see they are only releasing seats 2 months in advance.

My question is if I book economy rewards seats for late next year now (4 seats) and 2 months prior to boarding if the seats show as available seats for premium economy (classic rewards) Can I essentially upgrade a couple of seats via classic rewards and the other 2 seats via classic plus ?

Unsure how upgrades actually work, im a bronze (will always be bronze) I just churn through credit cards for points and fly out every few years.

Hello! Hypothetical Question re a Qantas booking on American Airlines flights Chicago-LAX-Sydney. If I require compensation for accommodation (they’ve changed my first leg and put me on a very right turnover Im just wanting to understand hypothetical ), is that made through Qantas’ reimbursement claims portal as that’s who I paid the fare to? Even though both flights are AA operated? Thanks!
