So I have a very complicated itinerary for my daughter and I that I am using miles for March travel. Some we are on same locator, others separate. Some multiple award because I could only get F domestically. I made all these booking in April 2014.
QF is now offering a great sale. If I didn't think it would totally screw things up, I would be better off purchasing my tickets not only b/c its a good deal, I have the money, I get all those elite miles (which I'll probably need since work travel has diminished), I'll get bonus miles since I made XPLAT this year and also will now have a chance for "complimentary" upgrades domestically.
I have no idea what happens to my daughters award that we are joined on (same locator) if I pull out. Does she lose her assigned seats?
MIA-LAX (same locator - Z class)
LAX-MEL-ADL (same locator - X class)
SYD - DFW (separate locators b/c I was able to secure only one Biz award and daughter has separate locator for economy). I do have EF alert set up for another biz - see I'm a good mom.
DFW - MIA (same locator Z class)
I would purchase all these same flights for about $1500 for me alone and still use the miles for daughters tix. Would actually only be $200 less removing the mia portion and since I'm now eligible for XPLAT upgrades - why not? Now I'm using savers at 25K ea.
So the question is, would this totally screw up my daughter's tickets. Is there anyway I can change the name on the award ticket on the return from mine to hers for that Biz ticket (I think the answer is no). grrrrrrrrr
The sale only last another day so I need to make some decisions. Unfortunately their sale is really only good round trip (or seems multi - but not one way).
