Hi,

I have a Oneworld RTW ticket booked through Qantas. As is par for the course the tickets were booked over a year in advance and a lot of flights in the latter half of the trip were pushed close together, with the intention of dates being changed when flights became available.

I have an issue with a flight from Denpasar - Perth where the only available flights are over 6 weeks after my requested date, obviously not much of an option. Qantas (over the phone in Bangkok) told me that I'd have to either re-route my ticket to fly through Darwin (and pay for a reissue, money I don't have) or wait the 6 weeks!

Neither of these options are particularly appealing. Can anyone advise on what I should do? Would it be possible to upgrade to premium economy on the same flight? If I push the issue will Qantas let me board another Oneworld partner flight instead? From my limited research I think there are a few Oneworld carriers operating the same route.

My next flight is from Singapore in 3 weeks, I'm hoping I'll be able to sort it out at the airport then rather than que for hours on the phone as usual.

Any help would be much appreciated, I want to have my facts straight before I talk to Qantas again.

Cheers,

Simon
