    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Which airlines did you pick? QR/BA/AA/JL is 1.7k, but already having QR and BA make the fuel charges expensive right? Can't imagine it being more (unless you're flying S7 now...)

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Actually, something else regarding this itinerary - my previous itin had an extra sector: instead of JL52 SYD-HND, I actually had SYD-MEL-NRT. Not sure if it's because of this extra sector, but the phone operator from Hobart told me my taxes would go from 1.7k to 2.7k per person, and that it was...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    So after whinging about QR removing award space, I've found some after the 17th January. Now my RTW looks like SYD-HND-LAX-JFK-LHR-MUC-DOH-HKG-BKK-HND-SYD, all in J except AA2 which is in Y. Here's hoping that QR opens up more seats so I can call up and wait 4 hours for a change :)

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Of course, and given that half the A350s are grounded, we're only planning on flying routes like LHR-DOH where the Qsuites are most likely to be on. I've been using that resource too! That's why I'm fine with LHR-MUC-DOH, at least it's not on the 787 :)

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    My partner wants to try Qsuites, hence the stop at Qatar. I can't really force a stopover in DOH like with ITA using the QF website...And ideally, I'd like to visit one more Asian city before returning to Syd. Been toying with the idea of BKK or ICN, or even DOH-PER-HKG or something of the like

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    See itin here: I could confirm the itinerary on Qantas website - tickets not issued yet. Got that generic error so I called up QF at around 2am, got transferred to NZ centre and kind lady helped me to book. By that time however, QR showed no U inventory on any flight in or out of Doha. Other...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I have the following itinerary for two people in U: SYD-MEL-NRT HND-LAX (LAX-JFK) JFK-LHR LHR-DOH DOH-HKG HKG-SYD Travel after Boxing Day this year. Had the flights and everything, QF website error, and then as I'm calling, all the QR flights had U availability removed? So now my LHR-DOH and...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Successfully requested release for 2x Y seats for SYD-BKK return, one J released on return but I needed two. On a side note, if I requested a points upgrade from a Y award and it goes through a few days before check in, can I just cancel it and request for that J seat to be booked as an award...
