Wow. I do hate the media but how long do you give it before you start making some noise? That might make United start to care a little more If there was ever a story to sensationalize this would be it

Will the new QF flights PER-SIN be an option?

Pilots, sitting at home in Sydney with no power and it howling outside got me to thinking. Can you remember your shortest take off roll or landing into the wind? I was watching a show called Alaskan wing men and in one of the episodes they landed a Cessna before the piano keys because the winds...

Yes it does and I didn't realise it was an AA partner. My bad! The next issue is no en route stopover to utilize.

And unfortunately not a oneworld airline in sight

I'm sincerely sorry you weren't able to find something. It's really disappointing, I know.

As it is so late in the game (I think anatol was throwing around 3pm Brisbane time today), your ONLY hope is to get on the phone, get your nicest personality/voice on and get them to search dates for you. It seems as far as availability goes, we tend to use all the tools to get options but...

The problem is the passengers remain largely uneducated/ignorant of the issues. I would say the general consensus amongst friends of mine would be that because the airline industry has built a fairly solid safety record, that then extends to all airlines. For example because of the Qantas safety...

From what I understand out of the membership guide you'll have to pay a $150US fee for "redepositing" the miles back into your account.

The other option I've just thought is to fly PER-HKG-NRT-YVR on CX and JAL There seems to be heaps of availability NRT-YVR in January..

11/1/16 - CX136 PER-HKG J 12/1/16 - CX830 HKG-JFK J 12/1/16 - CX889 JFK-YVR J 2 things I'd be worried about with this route is the large back track so you'd just hope the agent doesn't know which way they fly HKG-JFK.. I've heard it's been done before though. And the CX availability because...

12/1/16 - QR901 PER-DOH J 13/1/16 - QR701 DOH-JFK J 13/1/16 - CX889 JFK-YVR J 24/1/16 - BA084 YVR-LHR F (Overnight in london(less than 24hr)) 26/1/16 - QR006 or 010 LHR-DOH F 27/1/16 - QR900 DOH-PER J There are options.. You may find MPM issues with JFK.. But it's so close. Found these...

For 2 people?

I find other than a Qatar membership it's the Avios search where I find them. You probably don't want to do this but an agent will sometimes take the time to do a whole lot of searching for you as well. I will have another go finding Qatar/BA availability when I get home.

I meant to address that. You can't redeem on EK with USDM points. Only Qatar, and if MH is out then at this stage I think Qatar is it. Going via Europe doesn't exceed MPM. MPM should be 14,700ish and both PER-KUL-LHR-YVR and PER-DOH-LHR-YVR fall under that by about 800 miles.

It depends on the airlines you want to fly as well. I had a bit of a go. The best availability is of course Malaysian Airlines PER-KUL-LHR then BA LHR-YVR... There is Qatar availability out of and back to Perth. I almost had 6th Jan to 20th.. It might work....?

The number i used was +44 08456003300 as per US Airways | Contact Reservations

Absolutely loved that shot. Phenomenal!

FWIW when I rang the UK number and was on the phone for ~45 minutes, it cost $4.40US Skype credit

The 134, quick 1:15 connection and onto the 840 to JFK. Yea I found the night flights were much less. And heaps(!!!) of phantom QF website availability for CX.
