Don't think there's anything he can do about it now but you can call QF after to get the points refunded IINM.

Lol. That would be obvious, know ? I mean I didn’t fly J, I’m not paying for it. What’s the Isrealy law about compensation in this situation ? I see that there’s another thread about this so I really shouldn’t be posting here anymore... can merge this thread.

No, you can't always get the miles back.

Sry but I can’t believe this.... you can always get it back, but it may not be easy, I guess is what your saying.

I dont have first hand knowledge when bumped to PE, but in the past when they pumped to Y, they usually documented the record and it entitled you to a free round trip voucher in J

Besides this story and the story I wrote about last week, I was personally bumped last weekend JFK-TLV. I was very lucky when a old lady canceled after check in in the airport last second because she didn't feel well.

@Dan is it worth a post on the MS demanding answer front elal why they "officially" do this. And why no comp..

I don't understand how they can not give you comp. Is there something in the terms and conditions of using miles that allows them to just not give you what you paid with miles for?
I'm not who you think I am.
