Thanks for that, JohnK. I decided to go all out and buy a return business class ticket from Qantas. My understanding is that a business ticket gets me into the Qantas Club.

Flying out 29 December

Yeah I have an AMEX. It's a Qantas FF Premium.

I'm going to be flying via Singapore on my way to London, and there'll be a few hours to kill at Changi. I'm not a member of the Qantas Club. Is there a club or an airline that will let me purchase one-off access to a lounge? I'm also looking for the same thing at Heathrow.

Sorry guys. Simongr messaged me earlier today and scored them both.

I have two legit ones that I'm not going to use. I'm happy to send them to you - just regular post though so it only costs me 50c.

I've stayed at Meriton Kent Street. Loved it! Very spacious and modern and just a stones throw from the Queen Adelaide Building, a Woolworths and Darling Harbour. It's a bit of a walk to the Rocks from there but if you go to Darling Harbour it's quick to catch a ferry to Circular Quay.

Yeah I've just looked at BA and couldn't find a comparable price. Points are a definite second to me. I appreciate the effort Dave, cheers for that.

How do I know I'm getting a J fare with BA? Plus if it's a special does the "J" mean it's flexible?

If I use the business combination fare it drops to $6,300 including taxes. Will that mean flying economy to BKK then business to London? Same price to fly to City as Heathrow.

Thanks, Dave. $7,226.61 AUD fully flexible business. That's pretty good! Travel Guru, unfortunately that Qantas fare I had had a huge leg with BA. Apart from the old dragons they have for attendants is business no good with them?

I'm looking at going direct from BNE to LHR (return) in January next year. I have found a Qantas Business Saver fare that will get me there and back business class for $7,600. The fare needs to be flexible in terms of the return leg ie. extendable. Does anybody have any views on the business...

I really appreciate the time you've spent on me guys. Thinking about your responses, I think my two bases should be London and Florence (or as close as I can get to it). I can then take a train or hire a car or follow some fellow travellers around for a bit. Very impressed by the routes I've...

You could be right on NYC - I should try it again, but not on this trip. Interesting about Copenhagen - anybody else feel the same? Trooper, that's fantastic! Very much appreciated.

I've actually been to New York and really wasn't that impressed by it. I've been to London before and it suits me a whole lot better - something homely about it. If I have to use a travel agent I will (at you guys direction of course) but it'd be so much more gratifying knowing I hadn't...
