    International Qantas Awards Available One way but not Return.

    It's easy enough to test whether it's "fishy" or just the impact of school holidays. Try a ghost booking. Instead of March, try putting your outbound as the first day of school hols. Suddenly the outbound award availability is horrible. It's Classic+ at twice the price, or routings via KL...

    International Qantas Awards Available One way but not Return.

    Your return date may fall in NSW school holidays, in which case you would have needed to book some months ago to secure award seats. The reason the award seats disappear quickly during school holiday periods is because many of the bookings are for multiple pax, eg: families of 3, 4, 5 etc...

    Melbourne to London via SIN?

    The other factor is the traffic from the opposite direction, ie: the poms, and other Europeans visiting AU from LHR. The most popular port of entry would be SYD, particularly for tourists and business travellers.

    Melbourne to London via SIN?

    Only if you limit yourself to Qantas though. Singapore airlines is the obvious alternative if you’re set on Singapore routing, but there’s plenty of similar 1stoppers eg: Cathay, Thai, Malaysian, Emirates etc.

    First reward flight SYD-LHR. Are my expectations too high?

    At the very least can you refrain from being abusive to staff as you have foreshadowed. Maybe it’s the way you’ve written the first post, but it comes across as a potential passenger from hell scenario. If you’re this worked up now, how are things gonna go once the journey is actually underway...

    First reward flight SYD-LHR. Are my expectations too high?

    Perfect is the enemy of good. If you’ve already worked yourself up to this level of butthurt, over what should still be a very, very good flight experience, you’re setting yourself up for a dreadful trip. And you’re going to absolutely hate London on the “expectations vs reality” aspect.

    Alaskan Airlines has just revealed the new livery specific for the 787 fleet It is supposed to represent the Northern Lights and I have to say I like it a lot. The famous "smiling eskimo" livery will remain for other non 787 aircraft.

    Booking a Multi City cash fare in Europe

    Those would be better off as separate tickets. Trying to do the whole shebang as a complex multi city adds risk. If you miss one of the flights the whole itinerary gets cancelled. Multicity may also add some complex fare rules, married sectors etc. People think they won't ever miss a flight...

    Easiest way to keep kids' QF points from expiring

    Yeah that's pretty much how we used to do it, if the kids had low balances. But the minimum transfer threshold is lower these days, so no need to do the conga line thing.
