Hi all, I'm thinking about doing a 1.5-2 week trip to Australia and New Zealand in August/September. I understand this is still the off-season for you guys? Any sample itineraries or things I should do while I'm there? I know this is a really broad request but I'm open to an itinerary that...

Main issue with Lifemiles is that they "devalue" their chart without any warning. I doubt ANA would do such as thing.... but I could be wrong.

Cheapest way of purchasing UA miles is by purchasing them through Mileage Accelerator, which is an option you get after booking a paid ticket. To do this, you will need to have a large credit limit on your CC since you'd need to purchase a full-fare Economy ticket from one city to another...

They're not sold out. SQ just blocks premium cabin award space on the A380 and B77W to partner airlines. So, the only way you can redeem award tickets on SQ is by having miles in a SQ KF account (or by transferring them from your AMEX MR points).

Possibly... I've noticed that AA C space for SWU upgrades have been non-existent for most of next year, even on routes that are usually empty upfront. I'm already debating whether or not I want to requal. for EXP next year. Not worth the $5K+ if SWUs are going to have fare restrictions and...

My same thoughts.. it's sad that they're trying to increase airport fees too. Not like the TSA already uses a small amount of $...

Have you tried to look for a BRG rate with either IHG or Choice Hotel properties? Considering you can get a free room, it's worth taking sometime out of your day to do this.

Award space becomes very limited after the holidays in the US since many families gather together and discuss their future trips.

Ouch. Thought about going back to Thailand on a last minute trip but doesn't seem to be a good time... Sick of the cold weather in Seattle... need warm, sunny weather...

I wonder what they use the money on...:rolleyes:

I might be the only one but I like Etihad's uniforms as well.
