re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks for the superfast response!

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hello experts: I am considering my first 280k Oneworld award and have two specific questions: 1. I want to fly SYD-LHR-FRA and then FRA-DOH-LHR-JFK-.... Is that possible? (it works mile-wise, but is kind of "backtracking"...

That is because NZ is treated like a domestic destination by the Qantas booking engine, so it is treating the booking like two one-way bookings. Unlike the "real" international destinations there is no requirment (= significantly higher fares for one-way bookings) to book as a return sector for...

I agree that "the changed definitions" should be reversed as soon as possible and before 1 December. The system is already complex and some of the changes (MH, QR or BA Premium Economy as Flexible Economy) will lead to frustration, angry comments and bad press for Qantas.

Just a huge thank you again for everyone's suggestions and help! We have now included a nice Tokyo stopover and are flying Business Class all the way.

Acutually it is worse than that! The JAL online booking engine did not show at any stage that we would be booked into Economy for the SIN-SYD flight :evil: So in case that they are unwilling to change the booking to 10 July, I will consider going to NSW Fair Trading considering that they (in my...

Thank you MattG and JohnPhelan for your very helpful responses - I will try to change to 10 July.

The specific date is Saturday 9 July. If anyone with access to appropiate tools can check if a connection via BNE or MEL is possible, that would be a great help.

Thanks for the idea, but the ticket is through JAL - so EK will not be possible.

We (two adults) are flying a relativly complex discount business class itinerary from Sydney to Europe. The best option for the last leg of that journey for us is SIN-SYD with Qantas on a Saturday in July. However, as there is no D-class available on either Qantas flights (QF6 and QF82), we are...

Just to add to this, there is also a significant amount of Government travel to and from Berlin. So while the traditional business demand is relativly low, but growing thanks to many startup businesses in Berlin, there is strong leisure and Government demand. And the new airport should finally...

Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion On this busy night on the east coast, I just want to comment on the QF 1/2/9/10 issues. I have been travelling from Australia to LHR a few times in the last few months and the major issue at the moment is DXB. The airport seems to be...

After flying QF 9 just last week, I can tell you that you get supper and full breakfast on the MEL-DXB sector and lunch only on the DXB-LHR sector. The Tasting Menu is not offered MEL-LHR. I cannot comment on QF 10 as I took QF 2 back to Australia.

Re: MEL First lounge joins PER RSA push I fully agree and since I became WP in 2009 I have seen the standards in the Flounge definitely slip. The service is much less pro-active (is that a result of staff cuts?) and, while they are still great lounges, the Flounges in SYD and MEL are now...

As someone who goes mostly on his own money and with a choice of destinations (From my base in Sydney I choose either to visit friends in Perth, Auckland, Singapore or further aflield), I was excited when Qantas announced the "International-style catering" on their East-West domestic flights...

I find it very hard to compare seat types that noone here has actually used and I personally very much enjoy the Skybed Mk II on the A380s due to its "shell" that is great when sleeping and overall very comfortable seat position, even for a very tall passenger like myself. Only real downside I...

Yes, the Flounge is very basic, but I nevertheless hope that Qantas will keep it - at least there is champagne ;)

When I looked into this in detail last year (for a booking for my parents), Qantas told me several times that Y and PE can be combined without financial "penalty", but that PE and J combinations would be priced as one-way PE plus one-way J and would result in a crazy high prize. I am not sure...

Absolutely not (unfortunately) and they do not even have regular 747 traffic
