    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    As far as I know, it’s personal only. Never crossed a business one.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Hmm that’s odd. It’s usually the other way around. Lima must be an oddity. Use the BA website. It’s accurate 99% of the time.

    Do a multicity and stick something random before LIM. Try SCL-LIM or EZE-LIM and then, as flight, LIM-MIA and flight 3 MIA-MEX. Should at least show you availability.

    Jury Duty

    Isn’t an official term for jury “the 12 people who were too dumb to think of a way to get out of jury duty”? 😏 Having property in two states has always saved me. I’ve just sent a rates notice and said I will be relocating.

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    I’ve wondered that as well. Wouldn’t want them having full access to something like expenses.

    Don’t think PayAll counts for the min spend?

    I think a lot of the issue is the constant “phantom availability” problem. There doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern of what is and isn’t available (and each call centre seemingly uses a different system showing different things). Backend Amadeus doesn’t seem to show the actual required fare...

    I suspect is a system issue and people are just making stuff up. An open classic award seat is a classic award seat. They’re all in the same fare category. I doubt there’s the capability in their systems to add the level of complexity alluded to.

    QF Mystery: We can see but the agent can't

    I love how that’s just considered acceptable at qantas 🙄. I wish I could advertise something and, when someone attempts to purchase it, just say “oh no, that’s phantom - but I can sell you something for a lot more”

    50 people injured on SYD-AKL LATAM flight LA800

    Which computers? And what is a “reset”?

    Yep. If there’s a ticket number then you’re good. If it just says “confirmed” then it’s not… well, confirmed.

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    India surprised me a bit. I was expecting it to be a little more tech savvy, but plenty of establishments (including hotels) didn’t accept international credit cards. They’ve got a QR Code based “PayTM” which seems to be all the go for locals (scan QR code, add amount, show vendor) but you need...

    Possibly. Just interesting that three call centre staff and one at the reward ticketing escalations team said they’re available, just not for this booking 🤷🏾‍♀️

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Yeah it was. I was getting as far as LIS (so with this JL sector) and then I ran out of flight segments so needed to do it on the phone. ORD is available, however the AA connections aren’t open for booking yet. The agent claims to have sent an email to “OneWorld” to ask them to release the...

    Yep, thanks came out much less once it was all pieced together (about $1600). Only issue is that JL sector that’s been booked in Y+. Website still shows J available, agents are saying “J is available but not for a one world award”. Now it’s booked I tried HUACA and the latest agent says “it’s...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Annoyingly not. No availability showing in IB and even AT doesn't have any seats on the CMN direct (which would be helpful, as that's one of the later stops) Phone booking is going as expected :rolleyes:. One sector showing online as available but the agent can't see it. Also shows on BA. Agent...

    Bit of a split. With the annoying 6 flight limit I can’t put it all together as one, but we’ll see what it comes out to when I book it over the phone. I can’t see it being any less than about $3000 though.

    Just trying to work on another of these. I'm not entirely sure the value is there anymore with all these carrier charges! SYD-KUL (MH) is 1$50 KUL-NRT (JL) is $310 HND-JFK (JL) is $550 JFK-LHR-LIS (BA) is $1551! I'm not even half way through the ticket and it's up to $2500
