I understand that you have a cause you'd like to promote, but is this really the right forum? And to keep things relevant, it'd be handy if you could let us all know the OneWorld airlines that work so well with QF MMB.

I'd recommend this as something to contemplate along the way: Author Brad Parks

Smartest thing would be to learn to crunch the numbers as quickly as possible for yourself. I don't mean that harshly... it's just not that hard, and a lot of people here still can't do it.

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Or that you can have a window seat to yourself if you fly on the (wide-body) A380 (with a QF flight number, of course). As RichardMEL suggested above re the 1-2-1 configuration. I'd be inclined to just let sleeping dogs lie.

If that's the case then it sounds like QF have been doing a pretty good job!

Nothing to apologise for! Yes, it's a QF flight, but apparently they treat award bookings differently if they're not made via QF or EK. So no chauffeur service, for example. (Although you may still be able to arrange it via MMB, there's no guarantee it will work out in the end.)

And even then, I think if you book QF F using (say) AA miles out of SYD/MEL, you don't get called by the First Host. But I digress. This is entirely a BA issue. QF doesn't deserve any criticism here.

Would you rather you weren't able to deal with the booking via QF MMB at all?

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! If you don't mind hopping on a bus to Canberra, some good stuff under the current NZ sale:

Can only hope, but no, the article doesn't say that.

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! A tad over, but there are dates where you can fly to Jakarta for AUD2107.98 and earn 240 SCs.

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! What days before October 31 do you see that for less than $2,000?

Or thinks that making too many award seats available in general might reduce the probability of some people buying a revenue seat.

And that doesn't even take loyalty programs into account. If you only sell one award seat at $xx_ but its very existence influences the behaviour of multiple people who had hoped to get that seat, you have a multiplier effect that makes the "profitability" of that particular award essentially...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion You'd only need to pay full price for the first 1,000 points...

There is definitely interest.

It's difficult to understand why you're so obsessed about the SCs, or why you see a need for any individual fare to be "profitable" independent of the rest of the QFF program. I could pay AUD10,683 to fly SYD-LAX F next August. Or I could use 144,000 points and AUD468.19. OH MY FREAKIN'...

Excellent. I'll be flying this in a couple of weeks, so very much looking forward to hearing about it.

Interesting that you also get a discount for (say) the CBR-MEL leg of a CBR-MEL-AKL booking. Also works in reverse, so if you want to fly AKL-MEL... just sayin'.

The option you've chosen says "1 stop" (presumably in Melbourne). So it's perhaps (120SC + 20SC) * 2.
