Thanks for your help with this. I got in touch with the call centre late last night and they were able to do it AND at the lower rate of points. Very happy with the outcome.

They claimed the availability is wrongly there, showing up as 6 seats available but can't confirm them for me.... - the cross-code availability is an issue I've come across previously when trying to book codeshares on EK. At that point I hadn't looked at booking them as individual one ways yet...

No, not booking any international sectors. I have a separate booking already from Aus to LAX. And yes - if there was availability doing a simple one way then I would get it, but there's no availability doing it that way for some weird reason. Instead, what I worked out is that I can put in a...

Hi all. I've been trying to book a multi-city frequent flyer itinerary on AA flights in the USA with no luck at all. Can book the segments individually (at a higher cost of FF points) and I even called Qantas to see if they had any options - of which there were none. Worst part is I can select...

Thanks PJM! Appreciate the quick response. :)

Hi all, hoping someone knows the answer to the pickle I'm in. I booked a multi-city trip (six sector all domestic) when the double status points offer was on last week. I would like to change one sector in the middle of the trip. Does anyone know if I will lose double status points for the...

Thank you for this suggestion.

thanks for input. I figured the $400 price tag was not achievable. Best i could find was $600-800 return to PEK.... which isn't bad...

Hi all. Trying to hit gold for the first time. Just need 130 more before September 30. Need some assistance finding the cheapest way to attain gold. Here’s my situation: I currently have 570 status credits. 410 of those are on eligible QF and JQ flights…. So need 90 to get +50 status credit...

there is a lot of good advice here - just to add in my two cents... If you want to do Universal - it is actually pretty easy to do with public transport from the airport. get the LAX fly away bus which takes you directly to union station in downtown LA. Then you can get the subway to universal...

Thanks tortuga and juddles. All very worthy info. I have gone with the 1245 to RIO via GRU... At 95 minutes to change (provided that qf27 is on time)... Im hopeful that i should be good. But i will be crossing fingers and toes all the way that theres no delays. really appreciate all the input...

thanks mattg and doctau. Much appreciated. I think the best bet is going to be the 12:45 via GRU. Good advice. With a bit of luck, maybe on the day we will arrive early and they will bump us to the earlier direct flight at 12:15. But I'd have more comfort knowing that I have a seat waiting on...

Hi flying friends. So I'm in a bit of a pickle for an upcoming trip to Rio for the Olympics. (I know - poor me, right?) I have booked a return flight to Santiago from Melbourne, on Qantas (QF27 from SYD). At the time of booking, to go on to Rio on the same ticket was an additional $1000. I...

in my previous research - the best thing i did was look through youtube videos that people have posted of the rooms there. You can pretty much find every type of room with a little guided tour on youtube. Give that a shot if you are weighing up between a few. It is better than the photos on...
