Thanks to all for the posts. I have gone and had a look at the statement again. It seems as though one of the return flight has not come in yet. Will wait a while longer.

Can I ask a question which I am not too sure has been addressed in the thread. I have had some of the credits post. However I think they have posted incorrectly. For example I had a return flight in Y between Melbs and Sydney. The flight down was in discount (so 10 sc). The flight back was...

If it is any use now I can confirm that a small purchase of points online will keep the points active. Minimum spend is $24 usd from memory.

I should also say, now, that it has been gently suggested to me (ever so!) that just finding a resort in California might be an option for a beach break close to SFO or down past LA. I could drive it I suppose which could be fun. So spend a few days in SFO and then drive down to a beach...

Thanks Oz also! I have some QF points that I am happy to burn. I tend to try to accrue into SQ now. QF is generally only picked up when flying domestically. I have tended to avoid them internationally for a while which is a shame when I think about it. In terms of the points I have, you are...

Great thanks Opusman. Seems like the prices for late August/September are a lot higher than they have been lately generally to the USA. That is necessarily a by product of summer season I suppose. I wonder if I push it back a bit the prices might come back a little cheaper. I was thinking...

Hi All I am looking at flights between Syd and HNL and SFO. August/September. Ideally I would fly from Syd to SFO (or LAX to transit) and then fly home with a stop in Hawaii and then onto Sydney. I want to avoid the fly into the US, fly into Hawaii and then fly back to the US at all costs...

I will probably not leave Australia until either New Years Day or the 2nd (so as to avoid the whole NYE tariffs). So that might keep costs down. Hong Kong is a city I love and enjoy so it is looming large. How easy is it to go across into China these days?

Good afternoon all. As always, I am keen to draw on the collective wisdom of our community. It seems that my workplace has decided to 'shut down' for the week of 4 January 2016 with the consequence I am being forced to take some annual leave. Not wanting to let the opportunity pass, I started...

Really enjoying this report.

Does it have to SQ or a Star airline? I was looking recently for almost those exact dates and found plenty of availability on BA. Getting back to SYd was a problem though. When I did look at SQ, I thought AMS had some availability if you could transit.

I have managed to find the following possible routing: SYD-SIN - BA J SIN-FRA- BA F (the Euro sector in J) FRA- HKG - CX J HKG-SYD QF Y As it is a mixed bag of travel classes I was wondering if I would be charged at the F or J rate? I was hoping the Y sector would cancel out the F...

Anat0l- thanks so much for pointing this out to me. Much appreciated. What seems to be coming up is Syd-sin-Frankfurt on BA. As it transited through the UK I thought I was going to be hit. But thanks for pointing it out. The BA fines are a bit of a concern. I had thought that HKG limited the...

I have had a bit of a rough run and began dreaming of a trip to Europe. I have some free time and started looking for flights with USDM with short notice. Aa.com is showing availability on BA. This means two things both fuel fines and the UK APD. Does anyone know what these are generally coming...

Class was j

Just did a dummy rewards booking on SQ. Looking to go from Syd into Europe so chose to fly into AMS. As I am looking to go soon I managed to find some flights (seems to be on the 777). But the surcharges came in at $1100. Is this about right? I have never redeemed with sq before.

Many thanks for the replies. Interesting about MXP. Is CX what people are using to get out of Syd? I am only looking for J if that helps. I tend to be a buy and book straight away kind of person. Will look at signing up to that service recommended to search for more availability.

Thanks Sergeyvzn. Does anyone know what the current fee for expedited booking is? Also early reports were the CX availability tended to be good if you were prepared to leave it late (-30 days). Does that still hold true? I am looking at late January. Happy to fly into anywhere in Europe...
