Hi Myztikal Again, I'm no expert so this is just my two cents. You imply you are running a credit card balance with the above statement. If you are and you're not clearing it before any interest free period ends the interest cost will quickly erode any benefit you get from your 2% cash back, or...

Hi Downgraded, This is a subject close to my heart! I actually think the choice of airline is less important than whether the timings, routing and aircraft type meet your requirements. On top of that having a solid plan for entertaining and settling the child is essential. When we bought our...

When I moved down here I found the cheapest way was to book a multi city itinerary, that way you don't get stung by one way fees. I booked LHR - KUL - MEL on MH for the same as the one way element of a return fare. As I recall Emirates and Qantas had competitively priced fares on the same basis...

I wonder if its simply a case of Qantas systems not operating as designed/intended. I received an offer to bid last week when I had already submitted a classic upgrade request (which was subsequently granted), reading through the thread I see I am not the only one to have experienced this. From...

Its not all doom and gloom at the bottom of the pile. I successfully upgraded to J from flex economy MEL-LHR on Aug 12th as a bronze FF. There appeared to be plenty of availability on the way back a week later since the aircraft was half empty on both sectors -I hadn't purchased an upgradeable...

Some good suggestions (and some fair blunt honesty) - thanks all. I'll certainly look at VA. I confess I had not looked at their international fares on the basis that historically Virgin Atlantic's kangaroo route pricing from the UK was always astronomical. But I see that VA are mostly...

Wow - lots of replies so quickly, many thanks to those who responded. For me it comes down to valuing the points at a level where they can provide me something I couldn't otherwise afford to purchase - i.e J cabin long haul. That being the case the difference between a flex economy fare to LHR...

Hi Everyone, I am a UK expat living down under who joined the Qantas FFP some years ago and have begun to build up a stash of points through travel and channeling household spend through credit cards. Because my travel is leisure only (in Y) I am unlikely to ever build up any meaningful...
