myFR24 is a superior tool, but the import and sync capability is rubbish. Took me endless amounts of cleansing and retries to get it to import my openflights export. And the tripit sync doesn't seem to work.

Understood. Thanks. We are US Citizens here in Australia on a 457/488 Visa and just had a baby. We have travel booked in January to introduce baby to the family (we're here on our own) and I have no idea if that's going to happen. We could leave, but I wouldn't expect Australia to let us back...

Curious - why wouldn't you be able to leave using your US passports and claim you were here for work or other temporary purposes?

Yep, the other day I was upgraded at T-30 (as Gold) and then downgraded at Lounge. Thankfully someone misconnected and I still ended up up front, but it was not a peaceful time for me.

Who knows. I highly doubt you get anything unless it's a codeshare.

The short answer is no. Delta doesn't want to own a ticket that consists of all-code-share flights/partner metal. The long answer is, maybe. You can force Delta to price out certain tickets using ITA Powertools + ITA Matrix. I booked Vietnam this way (using an eCert). 1. Learn Matrix - ITA...

Update: called back and was able to book Etihad ticket for myself SYD-AUH-LHR in April next year for 87,000 + $128 AUD in J. The second ticket, for my wife, is stick in waiting for confirmation since EY hasn't approved AUH-LHR segment yet.

Yeah back then it was wide open. EF and Delta both showed space. Now that is no longer the case.

No, I'm looking at inventory directly on ExpertFlyer. When did you book?

Yeah it all dried up in the last month or so.

Lost in translation I suppose. Congrats on getting to use those points.

Etihad. But his words were "partner". Maybe because they aren't OW.

VERY interesting. They told me tonight they won't book partner flights out past 6 months.

Just got off the phone with Enrich where I asked to get a quote on points required for flight early next year. Gentleman said they can only book partner awards 6 months in advance. Anyone else experience that?

That's awesome! When is the flight?
