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

    I just received the same change to JL47 which meant we can’t make our connection to Rhode (it was 50 minutes now 10 minutes). Just got off the phone with Qantas and they have made an involuntary change to the next day which is 24 hr 10 min later but they aren’t counting it as a stopover.

    Just 2 non-QF OW carriers. I was under the impression there could only be a maximum of two surface legs, albeit an unwritten rule? Surface sectors are allowed, and count as one stopover, but the distance between the two airports counts towards your total limit. Although there is no published...

    Was under the impression the trip didn't need to stop at the start but those notional miles (MEL-CGK) are added to the total miles. However finishing the trip in MEL would be problematic as it has already used as a stopover. Although the trip actually finishes in MEL, it is actually a stopover.

    Liklihood of AA availability with QF FF points

    I am looking for AA flights from JFK to DTW in mid November. On the QF award calendar only Westjet flights come up as options however if I search for flights directly on AA I am given the option of flying to YYZ via DCA or PHL. If I call QF, will they be able to book me on those flights? If...
