Cancelling classic award
I have two highly prized classic award redemptions to go to Lord Howe Island in a couple of weeks.
However, I am starting a new job tomorrow so will not be able to go.
Am I able to cancel/rebook. I struggled to find this on the webiste

Is that the "heads up" to check to see if the seats go back into general inventory? And I'm sure, for the right offer, you could identify exactly when the cancellation might be made

Yes, would be glad for a heads up. Two seats are very rare to come by to LDH. Shame you can't go.

Has anyone had any luck getting them to waive this fee on compassionate grounds?
I'll probably need to cancel a domestic award booking made for my parents due to a family medical emergency, and whilst they do have travel insurance which should cover it, it'll make things much easier if Qantas just ignore the fee...
