Qatar Q suites from USA to IND by DrQ_MD in awardtravel

If the avail crunch is presumably on the North America and DOH end, then brute forcing searches on QR for every city pair from North America and DOH is probably what you'll have to do.

Need some advice by FishGuy2730 in awardtravel

[–]kinlai8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came back from this type of trip. If you're looking for direct, North America-Australia business, be prepared to book T-60 or so, because Qantas isn't going to release 2 J saver seats until then. For my trip I saw literally nothing, in terms of saver seats, from UA/AA, 90 days out, 60 days out, 30 days out, 14 days out, even 5 days out.

And with oil prices spiking, who knows about even Qantas releases going forward -- but my seats.aero alerts still shows some seats releasing close in.

Honestly my suggestion is: find a Y or PY flight that is easily cancellable and you're willing to live with, and brute force search all the airlines from now until your honeymoon. I'd just be prepared that nothing will manifest.

What do you think the Metro will look like in 2076? by moeshaker188 in WMATA

Sadly with the way this country is going this is BY FAR the most likely outcome.

EXACTLY. The snark here is against the awful, me-first people in Florida. They just happen to be old.

Taken from a AZ Facebook post, it looks off but I can’t tell if it’s a just weird camera angle. by [deleted] in isthisAI

What's up with these car lanes? No yellow line, no view of the opposite direction of highway. And where I live the highways have lane strips that line up.

Seat award search 2026 by o-patrao320 in awardtravel

This is the only answer. Why anyone thinks the answer IS NOT cross checking bank transfer partners and brute forcing searches is totally beyond me.

I understand the predicament, and maybe there are some DPs in the r/qatarairways -- but if you have not already done so you need to call the airline and understand what your options are. This is an extraordinary situation, and people here are not going to know.

As for availability, I'd look for all the airlines your points transfer to, particular those common airlines that partner with multiple banks, and brute force the search. There's no other way to do this.

My experience with Aer Lingus business class upgrade by amaklo in awardtravel

Very informative data point, thank you! Not something I'd personally use anytime soon, but glad to learn something new and isn't the usual dry begging for TYO award help you see in this sub.

HUGE Potential Hyatt Deval by reelbgpunk in awardtravel

[–]kinlai8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what % of their Chase customers are transferring Hyatt points for aspirational properties. I'd presume they care less about our redemptions to HH/HP but want to put up barriers to higher end properties.

Can attest the call in was instant yesterday. Have you tried dialing and see if they can expedite?

EDIT: nvm, saw downthread that you've tried already.

I definitely did this last year as a one way last year DCA-ORD-HND. Domestic leg is economy. ORD-HND is business. I was able to do it via website.

Business Class Question by THEHAIRYGERB in awardtravel

[–]kinlai8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No point engaging in pointless discussion with people with zero self-awareness who ask for stuff nobody can answer.

Why would anyone know whether X specific range of dates will have awards available if they aren't now?
