Why is the NYC city pair stopover invalid on online? Does anyone know if an agent could book the following award ticket:
CTU-JFK (HU)
Stopover
EWR-SAN
Online, this is an invalid itinerary, and only CTU-JFK ; JFK-SFO,LAX,PDX,SEA are valid.

I have heard stories abroad that where the FF # should be good enough for Oneworld/Star Alliance, that sometimes the wallet card isn't accepted and they want the physical card. And that it doesn't always work to ask them to look up the rules.

Such a useless notification on the app

My pet peeve has been when the estimated boarding time doesn't match the estimate shown on the podium monitor or the airport FIDS. They should all be coming from the same source.

There used to be an iOS bug (haven't noticed it in awhile) where the boarding pass from the AS app showed 10 mins off boarding time from the iOS wallet version. Imagine it's a similar bug in software on one of those displaying boarding time if that's the case.

Access is not granted on other carrier codeshares operated by QF. Domestically within Australia, access is granted to the Quatas Club while international flights to/from Australia are granted access to the Quantas Business lounges.
I have used both domestic & international lounges in SYD, MEL, BNE & HKG. Time didn't permit a visit in NRT.
