Oh that’s good to know! exactly what I want to do!

Quick question, that I think I know the answer to but want to double check. I booked flexible domestic trans-Australia flights during the double status promotion for a trip in June. Booked one of the flights as an evening flight due to work commitments during that day. Have now shuffled work...

Certainly something I learned from all this, and a mistake I'll never make again! Hopefully my multi-city Aus-UK-Europe-Aus-NZ-Aus in oct is cancelled , and thankfully is looking like it should be. But frustrating to have all business legs except for one domestic economy , and so they wont issue...

I’m a B who sees no better benefit in any of the other airline programs, and so once again deflatedly buy more qantas tickets

Thanks for the replies!! Juddles - that’s really helpful!! I haven’t been to Caribbean/Mexico and so was worried it’d all be like a Gold Coast hotel. But Cancun does sound relaxing from what you’re describing. As for Aruba etc - doesnt actually need to be ‘tropical’ per se... just warm, sunny...

Hi all, Need to pick the brains trust. I need to go to Vancouver for a week in October for work. Work pays for flights, and I have the option to have a week of annual leave before coming back. I’m allowed to book the flights myself, and get reimbursed. They don’t have to be return flights...

Mrs AD and I got an Op-Up to J a few years ago on Korean. We were flying Sydney - JFK via Seoul. Had no status with Korean airlines (Or any airline at the time!), and didn’t have Dr title on tickets either. Had booked the cheapest economy seats available. We were boarding and when they scanned...

I was born in Australia, lived in Canada for 6 years as a kid, and been back in Australia for a few decades now. Still get asked at least once a week if I'm either a) American or b) Irish?!?!

Thanks for the help guys, currently in the Sakura Lounge (JAL lounge, shared with emirates) at KIX/Osaka. It's very underwhelming compared to QP back home, only a few snacks (crackers or onigiri) and looks quite aged. But still somewhere to rest the weary feet :) Will try the emirates...

We're flying out of Osaka Kansai airport tomorrow night on to Dubai with Emirates. We have J tickets, and also Qantas Pub/club membership. just wondering which lounges wifey and I have access to between our Emirates business tickets, and QP membership? Looks like Sakura and Pacific from what...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread At work and so don't have the other itinerary in front of me, but I suspect it was from memory. Thanks for the help again guys :-)

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Good thinking! I'll try that! :)

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks for the help so far :-) Just redid the test booking online and noticed something interesting. Interesting as flying syd-sin-hkg-kix-hel-fco-lhr-jfk-dfw-yyc-yvr-lax-syd is 47k km's, but costs 226k points each, however...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Good thought! I went back and included HKG, HEL and DFW as the intermediates for those flights, all up comes to 48906 km, as our actual flights would be syd-sin-hkg-kix-hel-fco-lhr-jfk-yyc-yvr-dfw-syd which still is under...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Yeah I'd checked that, total distance including land segments is around 46000 km, so within the limits. So the issue then is the number of airports?
