I have booked a J class rewards ticket from Mel- LHR with Qantas and onward to Milan Linate with BA (all on one ticket). When I go into "manage my booking" using the Qanats PNR # it won't let me choose my seat on either leg. I'm not surprised I couldn't choose it on the BA leg but I would have...

Hi everyone. FYI in the last couple of days a few more J Class Qantas FF rewards tickets have popped up to get you to Europe in May. I was able to get a J- Class seat Mel-LHR and then onwards to milan with BA. I was able to get a First Class ticket back in June AMS - MEL with Emirates. And...

After much searching I have finally found a more convenient J class awards seat from Melbourne to Milan. QF9 MEL -LHR arriving at 5.05 am and then transferring to a BA flight 564 at 07.15am to LIN. It would all be on the one ticket but it looks like the BA flight is leaving from a different...

Day of week Thursday Time of call 1230 AEST Number used General number 13 13 13 and followed the prompts Status Hold time 3 hours and 10 minutes Call Centre (if known) Based on the accent of the operator I presume it was Cape Town Matter resolved Hopefully Details I had...

Yes, I saw most of those too. June 3rd is too late for me. And the Premium economy was ok time wise and transit wise but I'm trying to hold out for a J class fare (tricky back). I did find a SIN-HEL-MXP in J class with Finnair but getting to Singapore was time consuming as there were no direct...

Hi Happy Flyer Family, Yes I'm trying to get to Milan (the quickest and most direct route) using business classic rewards but on the days I'm trying (24 & 25 May) there are economy seats but nothing at all business class with EK or QR. I'll search again. Thanks.

Getting me to Europe in comfort episode #37! Ok, I have ditched the idea of going via Bangkok as that was too complicated. I have now found a flight with QF FF points from Melb- Dubai with Qantas in Business class and then DPS - Dubai with Emirates Business class and finally Dubai -MXP with...

Hi everyone, My ongoing issue is still ongoing - I'm traveling to Europe (to MXP or Zurich) in May trying to use my points for a J class ticket. I have now found a nice J class EK flight BKK- DXB and then onwards from DXB -MXP. The flight departs BKK at 09.30am so have to somehow get to...

Thanks Pagans. Yes the more I read the less I liked the sound of them. We ended up going with Allianz.

Yes, I'm looking at that too but nothing in J class is appearing on my dates of 24th or 25th May ex Melbourne. I'll keep looking and that's definitely one of the routes I'm looking at.

Hmm, only a 1 hour 35 minute connection. If it's an hour late I'm stuffed :). I think I'll discount taking the via singapore option. I'll just keep my original QR seat to Rome whilst still searching online every day for something more streamlined and on one ticket straight into Milan. Miracles...

Hi everyone, not sure if I'm posting in the correct thread. I'm traveling to Europe in May trying to use my points for a J class ticket. Got an excellent QR flight Mel-Bris -Doha- Rome but travel plans have changed and I now need to get myself into MXP (otherwise I'll get off the plane in Rome...

@kangarooflyer88 great questions! Thanks. I do know the answer to one of them 😀. As I’ve rejigged the itinerary I’m going straight from FCO into Rome. There is a great public transport system from the airport into the city. After a few nights in Rome we will go to Florence for a few days...

@kangarooflyer88 The rabbit hole was a long and winding one and I just couldn't find any Zurich flights for my dates later in May. But I decided to take your advice and seriously looked at Rome and I did find a very nice business class Qatar flight to Rome ( albeit via Brisbane) although it was...

RooFlyer88 you are a savant! Great idea, I’m going into the rabbit hole now. Wish me luck and thanks !

Hi everyone, I'm possibly going to book a ff flight from MEL - MXP in may and the flight route is Mel- Per on Qantas and then it connects with a PER - Doha and Doha -MXP Qatar flight. There would be 2 and a half hours in Perth to connect from one flight to the other. Forgive me if this has...

Thanks Kangarooflyer88. Yes I love Rome too and I would have considered it as a starting point but our itinerary is a bit tight and the day we arrive we are going straight to Lake Como so flying into Milan is the best/ easiest option time wise. I did find late last night when I was going the...

I've been monitoring for a few weeks now looking for a MEL - MXP J class flight in May. Lots of economy but nothing up the pointy end. Today quite a few odds and sods popped up, mostly starting in Singapore. Finnair, KLM and a few random Qatar flights. I'd happily use points to/from Singapore...

My 21 year old daughter needs insurance in the USA pre and post a stint as a camp America counsellor in June for 3 months. She will mainly be travelling in the USA, Europe, the UK and Turkey (and will be doing a cruise with me for a week in Italy). Many insurance companies don't cover cruises...
