Was hoping to book some Qantas CR seats home from Osaka to Syd in mid April 2025 however the portal hasn’t released any QF or JQ flights throughout the entire month of April (not just from Japanese city’s but after a quick search there is no QF or JQ flights from any other cities during April, only partner airlines)
Have been checking at 10am daily and the last seats were released for 28th March 2025 for JQ14 direct from Osaka which is $130 fees and 26k points.
I am no stranger to booking points seats through Qantas portal and normally they release seats in a patterned way but it seems to have stopped and become irregular? Any insights ?
I am aware April is peak travel season however there have always been plenty of CR availability in April in previous years and most months until April 2025 have had plenty of availability?
Are you Gold and above? If yes, it might just be QF avoiding the peak Sakura season.
