    Oneworld FF Program Based in Asia

    Sticking with Qantas is probably the way I would go. Flights in Asia on Malaysia Airlines in Business accrue healthily to Qantas and the international lounges are quite good. Then fly Qantas to and from Australia to make sure you get your minimum sectors to maintain status next year.

    Doha (DOH) Stopover Tips

    I used to reject the Oryx for the same reason. I used to go to the Doubletree Old Town which was about a 15 minute drive. I had an issue once where the immigration official wasn't going to let me through. I had a print out of the reservation and said that I couldn't afford the airport hotel and...

    Amsterdam (AMS) Stopover Tips

    The Netherlands has a strong cash culture and you may find that you cannot use a debit card as commonly as you are used to. Most train station ticket machines are cash only and may not have English translations. I found this to be a helpful guide: How to Use the Airport Train Ticket Machines |...

    Vegetarian/vegan meals in J

    I'd be going JAL purely on the website. It seems to be covered pretty well which would give me confidence ordering. https://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/service/meal/special/menu/ China Eastern is appearing much more challenging to find information on.

    Brisbane/Gold Coast to Oman Muscat

    If you do break up the trip, consider a fifth freedom flight between the Emirates and Muscat. I believe Swiss Air fly Dubai - Muscat and that is usually a very affordable flight.

    Canada, Mexico, Europe, oh my! RTW here we go.

    Abisko Sky Station is about an hour out of Kiruna if that is an option. I was lucky enough to see the lights five nights out of seven there on two seperate trips. The locals told me that Lapporten nearby apparently helps keep the sky clear.

    If you had 5-7 days free where would you go Tibet, Bhutan or Mongolia ?

    This was going to be my recommendation. Plenty to do and a good time of year weather wise. Hualien Gorge would be my strong recommendation whilst you are there and there's plenty to do in Taipei and immediate surrounds.

    If you had 5-7 days free where would you go Tibet, Bhutan or Mongolia ?

    Out of interest, what has gone on to the shortlist? I am always keen to consider new short trips and may be able to suggest some more (depending on where you have been).

    How to best search for classic reward flights?

    Thanks for your advice @penguino - I am. Not too fussed on the class, it's the daytime flight that is important to us. I have picked up the flexible dates trick which is handy the downside is the inability to see the flights that we want and not the Jetstar redeye via DPS. I will keep fiddling...
