The other thing about AS is that award flights booked through them accrue status miles.

I received a $6 chicken sandwich and cheap drink today but no points ones recently I'm pretty happy with the Fuel Lock though-regularly ~20c discount on diesel

That could be an issue as it wasn't possible to add QF number at that time.* The DSC wasn't the sole reason to choose the flight which is OK. I think I would still make QF SG anyway and it might have been a bit of a stretch to make QF WP anyway. I'll probably look to get a formal clarification...

I have a trip to Europe next year predominantly on (and ticketed by) WY but the SYD-BKL and MNL-BNE legs have QF flight numbers I bought during the DSC promo and don't see a reason in the T&Cs why they wouldnt count. Am I correct? (I'm assuming the QF legs don't later acquire WY codeshare numbers)

Good to hear. I have a trip next May on WY with one half in Business Studio. Seems like it will earn F rates

I did. Base price $150. $30 off. $11 shipping.. TCB. Did I miss another step?

Thanks bought a Best of Best SA Reds $131 inc shipping before 8% TCB.

Different Doh! for me. I registered and got into my head that it finished end of Oct.

Ive had QR through check bags on a MEL-DOH-HEL (CX award) to a HEL-LHR (BA award) previously

Its usually a condition of being advertised on the big sites that hotels can't publically advertise a lower rate. Properties cant afford to not be on the expedias etc even though the sites take a chunky cut. For local hotels, especially non-chain ones you may well get a discount (or perks) by...

No idea on the big picture but discovering you can get 5 QF/$ at Bunnings via giftcards on QF marketplace (3 bonus + 2 for QF spend with the right card) on top of the 2.5 VA/$ via Flybuys with a Onepass has been helpful for my points accumulation.

My plan is 40% CX, 40% Avios (BA likely as the Boost is cheaper than QR if I needed it) and leave 20% for VA

Realise I broke TR convention with so many real faces but all consented and I thought the flight counting was too fun to leave out

Flight 10 SIN-SYD SQ Y+ B777-300ER Va award as above Pax: mr&mrsandye and mstrs andye3&4 A reasonably tight connection so quick march between terminals. Never at risk but no lounge time Good flight. The extra comfort of Y+ appreciated particularly for the incremental points cost. And we were...

Flight 9 JNB-SIN SQ Y+ A350-900 VA award 97.5k VA + $89 pp (JNB-SIN-SYD) Pax: mr&mrsandye and mstrsandye3&4 I stuffed up and didnt check in until T-12. Couldn't allocate seats as a result. Beating myself up that what I hoped would be our best flight would have us dispersed throughout the...

Late morning came and back to Joburg. Staying at the Radisson again. All on the Exec floor and a great suite upgrade for me and mrsandye. Lounge very good with a Nestoresque guy in charge

Next morning we had our last game drive. A smidge jealous of the Swedish couple wjo'd ticked off the Big 5 ay Kruger the previous day. Howver, all agreed we wanted lions. It had been raining and not much to see, a 'rare' hornbill and eagle aside in the first hour. But the chatter went out...

The lodge put on a decent BBQ/braii that evening. Available pics dont to justice

Next day was allotted to a tour of various scenic spots aroind the Drakensberg Mountains. The Rondavels, various waterfalls and God's Window ( a scenic view Mozambique toward the Indian Ocean). It apprears on almost all the safaribookings tours as a Highlight. Pretty scenic but to be honest we...

We didnt have much luck with cats but did see a (slightly dishevelled) leopard just as we were leaving
