Does QR return award space if ticketing time limit lapses?

Had a Asiamiles QR HND-DOH itinerary lapse and cant find seats.

Will this go back to award pool? Or gone forever?

Thank you! Yes they are all on the same ticket and both of us are on the same record locator. We are also not checking bags. I'm very happy to get 3 boarding passes!

Hello all,

I am flying HKG>DOH>xZRH>xCDG>DOH>HKG and input my CXGO (OWS) as FF. However I am not able to see the additional 15kg baggage allowance accorded to OWS. Am I missing some something?

Thanks in advance.

What is the crew row split in J on the 787 please? (Or is there none because its such a small cabin?)

Thanks

You mean seats for crew rest? I have never seen the QR crew using the pax cabin for crew rest, they use the crew rest areas above the passenger cabin I assume.

Sorry, very poorly phrased on my part.

The crew generally have a number of rows they serve in J and your food choice is (generally) prioritised by the row you're in. I'm yet to see my OWE status swing me a "sold out" meal, although the crew always ask their colleagues what spares they have. e.g. Row 1 gets first choice, then 2 and so on. On an A380 you generally get a crew member for 10-16 and 17-22.

That I have never thought about or noticed. I have never experienced asking for something that was not available, so I have never had to think further about it. I do think OWE gets a higher pecking order no matter where they are seated.

You're not suggesting that status should allow one to take a meal from someone who has already requested/reserved it, are you?

gbeb

I'm suggesting that I am yet to see any accuracy to a number of claims across the QR forums that meals are offered on OW status. I have personally found they are solely done on the row you're in and the crew assignment.

As someone who has twice not received their first meal choice, I'm keen, where possible to sit close enough to the front of the crew's assigned rows to get my choice, hence the question I asked.

Dr. HFH

It's not something I normally pay attention to, so I can only give you my experience on the last couple of flights that I recall, both a couple of months ago. I'm One World Emerald on both AA (EXP) and QR (PLT), although this flight was credited to AA. On both flights, the cabin crew member taking care of my side came down the aisle to me first (during boarding on both flights, actually) and asked me for my meal preference. On the first flight, which was going to be quite long (LAX-DOH), when I told her that I wasn't yet hungry because I had just eaten in the lounge and had no idea, she asked if there was anything I might conceivably fancy later so that she could reserve it for me before the rest of the cabin made choices. But now that we're discussing it, I'll pay more attention in the future to see how it goes down.

My experience as a QRPC Platinum, with QR is:

• In business they do not care at all about your status. Sometimes I even got the opposite feeling, almost as if they ignored me ;-)
• In economy class, the care about your status and come to ask about your meal preference before asking non status passengers

This is my experience also.

Hi guys!

I just wanted to ask if I purchase a Qantas ticket (operated by Emirates) under QF code, will I be able to earn Qmiles if I add the Privilege Club # to Qantas booking or does the flight have to be Qantas operated?
