United (or ANA) is a better idea. LM can't fish everything in *A especially since you can string an itinerary together in US DM that you can't in LM.
ANA is still the best IMHO!

I like it, even though I've lost the ability to go straight to *A partner search due to my small points balance expiring. The speed and weekly search ability is fantastic.

Couldn't find this info with a quick flick through - has anyone had success booking Qatar flights out of Australia? I'm looking for 1 J seat PER-LHR on about 1/1/15 and returning MAN-PER about 10/1/15. How are others searching for Qatar seats? When I try the Qatar website I get that I don't have enough miles for a search. Many thanks.

There could be false availability on the CX flights but its worth a call. |

Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
Would this work?
BNE/HKG stay less than 24 hours
Then DOH stay less than 24 hours
Then to CDG (destination)
Then CDG/HKG (stopover)
Then to BNE
As per bcworld's MPM chart it is fine for mileage.
I was not sure of transits/stopovers.
it is best to wait for the award return date 330 days out to be available? or take a chance and book outbound first, then the return later?.
As for what to do about your return, it is possible to get a hold on your outbound flight of up to 30 days while you wait for the return flight to open up. See this article for an example: Hold Award Tickets For 30 Days With US Airways | Frugal Travel Guy
keep in mind his award was done entirely on US Airways aircraft
I have a booking in 2 weeks to GUM and have received an email from US Airways to advise of a schedule change.
The email includes all sectors except SYD-BKK and BKK-SYD. Also the TG flight from HKG-BKK has been brought forward by 40 mins which is no problem.
Last night I phoned the US to check the flights and they told me that Thai has cancelled the first and last sectors :shock:. They spent an hour trying to phone TG and also sent them an email and suggested I ring back this morning.
I checked my booking on the Thai website and also on checkmytrip.com and all sectors are showing. I was even able to select my meals on the TG flights.
When I phoned US back this morning nothing had changed - still no sign of the sectors from and to SYD.
Unfortunately Thai's offices are not open until Monday morning so I am on tenterhooks!
Has anyone else had experience with this issue?
