    Millions of Points but No Seats Available

    I don't believe you can transfer Qantas points back to Amex. If you can't find flights, you can use you Qantas points to buy products through Qantas.

    Cheapest way to "spend on Qantas services"

    I spent $20 on a 500 point top up. This was considered a Qantas spend by Amex, and I received the 2500 bonus points. I'll wait to see if I get the QC invites.

    Connecting flights - different tickets

    If, for example, I purchased a return ticket from SYD to BKK and used points for BKK to Europe with no stopovers, would I be able to book luggage straight through even though the segments are on 2 different tickets. Similarly if both sets of tickets were purchased separately?

    Tight connection in coughet

    I wouldn't risk it. My experience at HKT are only delayed flights. I don't think there is any decent accommodation near HKT. I'd stay in coughet Town - it is quicker easier to get to than the beaches. The Royal coughet City Hotel is supposedly the best in town (about $AUD50 per night on...

    Unaccompanied luggage

    My brother recently transferred at LHR to a BA fight to NRT, then on to SYD. Due to delay, the connection was tight and his luggage was forwarded on one of the other BA flights to SYD (via BKK I think). I always understood that luggage must travel with the passenger. Could anyone shed some...
