You can transfer AMEX Or Citi points to Qantas at a 1:1 ratio, Barclays points at a 1.4:1 ratio, Capital One points at a 2:1.5 ratio, or Marriott points to Qantas at a 60K:25K ratio.

Qantas doesn’t charge fuel surcharges for El Al flights.
Infants are free (besides taxes). They also get a regular checked baggage allowance of 23 kg.

QF runs regular transfer bonus promos. Be sure to transfer 500 points into your account and opt in for emails to get targeted.

Search availability on elal.com
Flights are bookable from NYC, BOS, MIA, and LAX.

NYC-TLV is 37.8k points each way in Y, 63k in premium economy and 78k in J.
On 9/18/19 premium economy will be going up to 70.8k and J will be going up to 90k (each way).
Cancellation fee is 6k points.

New to Qantas. You can now search from ewr to tlv instead of having to put in Jfk for ewr flights

planning on putting the SMS option on DDMS?

Hopefully not

Other than being selfish that you happen to know about it, why not?
It's a published help number on Qantas's website. And the cities that aren't bookable are clearly just a bug as a good agent can book them just fine.

Besides for availability it shouldn't mess anything up, quite the contrary maybe some more agents will learn how to do it.
Hate to have been so wrong.
RIP QF.

You're in quite a mood lately. What does SMS booking have to do with tech issues affecting the ability of booking certain LY flights?

It doesn't. Unrelated, have you tried QF text lately?

No. Please be generous when you post so we can follow the story and not have to piece together two unrelated stories. :)

Do 1 + infant

And 8 in another reservation.

Infant requires you to input everyone's DOB and passports in order to be ticketed. So it's better to put infant with 1 person than with 8

thats actually what I was thinking, but whoever goes with the infant gets more legroom so I’d rather put 8 +infant

Also no one else needed a bassinet. I have had confirmed bulkhead seats with a baby where one adult had to move due to another bassinet request.

Does texting still work to book flights, or need to call? I see flights on here, which is obviously not shown on QF.com, wondering what's best way to book.
