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.
[Likely nothing bad] Does she lose her assigned seats?
[She should not. Its a bug in your favor.]
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.
[She should be fine] 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).
[Certainly 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).
