Large release of Qantas Business & Economy reward seats to London & Rome [Oct '23]

[CaptJCool]

What’s apparent from some cursory searching

PER-FCO or LHR gone early June
Return late August gone
In the middle still some availability but ever decreasing holiday length
At 216000 per person return to Rome and co-payment of $883

Some of the LHR-PER run at co-payment of $875 alone (the luxury PAX tax)

Like others have said, they have been taken. I've taken 2 personally. Along with a friend who took 2. Also others on here have said they have booked.

Okey dokey.

Try a different browser first.

Just closed it and reopened again, and then I got through ok.

But... the even better news, and though I hadn't seen it mentioned, I tested out SYD<>HNL on QF103/104 and managed to snare return business reward seats for my family of 3 pax during the NSW April school holidays next year! That's seriously unheard of before today! Amazing, in fact!!! Now to find some accommodation that won't offset my $20,000 airfare savings..........

Cheers,
Matt.

Well that’s cheered up my Monday, J PER to LHR July 26, J FCO to PER Aug 25….time to start planning, seat selection was limited…but as lowly Bronze, back of the plane sort of traveller…not complaining. Good luck to anyone else searching

I don't think so, as they may not land before the seats are gone.

True. Used to be immediate but not now.

Nice get. Were keen to points only for this one, so will wait it out

That is points only...... Well Classic Award

Well that didn't last long

Nothing for me in July. 3 seats in J, mind you.

I haven't checked expert flyer to see if P1 could open-up seats.

Will stick with the SQ bookings I guess.

Hmmm, only just noticed that this release had happened. Just had a look as a WP for the dates I need for travel between MEL and LHR and can't see any J or F. Oh well. I guess i'll have to go in the upgrade lottery if J prices don't come back to pre-COVID levels.

As just a WP, I doubt I'd be able to get seats manually released for that time of year.

Not surprised. So many Aussies go to UK every year ...... I would have booked if I have the points myself

good onya buddy!

What don't you understand? I'm simply stating that there were seats available, and also that you are waiting for a 'points' ticket, which is what people have purchased, which was exactly what you were quoting.
Don't know if you're expecting a non-payable taxes component? You can use point + pay for that then, at a greatly inflated rate.

I was fortunate to see the email before the press coverage and nabbed a one-way SYD-LHR classic reward in J.

I intend to build a RTW ticket off that so am happy with just the one-way for now.

Just booked 2 seats LHR-SYD classic reward J for early August. Had to most fast.

 

[nezbit]

Managed to snag 2xJ PER to LHR classic reward (which I didn't think existed prior to this promo)

 

[jase05]

Long haul QF doesn’t interest me but would love some more SEA awards to be released. Fingers crossed

 

[mrsterryn]

Husband just did a points only one. We did have a significant amount of points. With the half price points it was very good to spend lol
Few random reward flights were there

After my last J with Qantas 3 weeks ago, I'm not particularly keen on flying Qantas international again. I'd like some J reward on an actual top tier airline please

 

[mviy]

I would have needed return to make it worthwhile. I checked too late. Plenty of points for multiple return trips, but hard to use them.
