I'll start it. I requested travel companions Y-J syd paris for 18th sept on 4th sept. still not confirmed.
no status on QFF sapphire OW</font>
QFF Platinum.
I get a lot of op upgrades, so rarely request one. Every request referred to below has been with upgrade credits, not points:
- DWN-SYD Y to J, no availability so I
decided not to waitlist, got an op
upgrade anyway.
- SYD-AKL-SYD, return flight confirmed
immediately, waitlisted for outbound
and confirmed the day of departure.
- SYD-LAX-SYD, Y to J, confirmed a week
before departure on SYD-LAX, no joy on
the return flight. Did get an op
upgrade LAX-ORD on the same trip.
- Multiple SYD-PER-SYD and SYD-CHC trips,
usually confirmed either at the time of
booking, or a couple of days prior to
departure.
In terms of actual award bookings, no problems. Latest itinerary was NTL-SYD-AKL-CHC-AKL-SYD-NTL, in January, all in J (except NTL-SYD-NTL) for two pax, myself and a bronze QF club member.
I still maintain that most of those whingeing about a lack of award availability are trying to book MEL-BNE on Good Friday, 3 days out from departure (or similar).
