Hey all Just thought I'd share my recent 280J booking, which will be my second 280J. Originally I was just doing a return trip to North America which cost me 196,000 points and around $900 tax. Considering that for only another 80,000 odd points I could get another trip in, I decided it was...

Perhaps the definition of 'transit' varies for a OWA and the assessment of whether the APD is payable? I have no idea... just putting it out there.

Yes, sorry it doesn't help. More just letting you know you're not alone...

I was looking at add an AA flight to my current OWA booking... I've been checking availability often and there was heaps. Now searching today, I get the same error message: "We are unable to find recommendations from the airlines we search. Please change your search criteria and resubmit the...

Go PER to SIN via MEL?? Who do you work for... Qantas? :)

Noting that QF don't sell F to HKG... even when the A380 flies there seasonally.

Seems fine to me. Have you seen much YVR-HKG-KUL availability? YVR-HKG seems tough to get a seat in my searches. Also, perhaps coming back from HEL, you could do HEL-HKG-PER, instead of HEL-SIN-PER. Get to fly home on CX with better business class and cheaper taxes than QF

Noting, if this is an economy booking, you need to add the service fee (8,000pts) per call. If booking economy, you should try and do it in a single booking if possible.

Just to clarify, the flights "link together" because you should be making them using the same booking reference number. You can't book individual flight segments with different reference numbers and link them afterwards.

I would treat that with some skepticism... the airport isn't even built yet.

Did you sign a contract with the previous firm? Have they "just" listed the default with credit listing companies or obtained a default judgement from the local court/state tribunal? Complaints about incorrect credit default listings can be made to OAIC...

Well actually, before I booked ORD-HKG, I actually booked into ORD-HKG-SIN (with HKG as a transit) on CX without drama. I ended up ringing QF the next day and changed to ORD-HKG as going through to SIN took up too many miles (there was J availability on ORD-HKG-SIN and just ORD-HKG) Not sure...

I previously had booked: CBR-BNE-LAX (stop) on QF LAX-SYD-CBR (stop) on QF After changing, I'm now doing: CBR-BNE-LAX (stop) on QF ORD-HKG (stop) on CX After Hong Kong, I intend to book a separate economy ticket home and then after a few months return to Hong Kong and do something like...

It sounds like an issue caused by the flights being 'married'... can't just swap one.

I just changed a QF segment (LAX-SYD) from an existing booking to a Cathay segment (ORD-HKG) without any dramas.

Probably part of the issue is that Cathay don't fly to Houston... so the search engine is looking for possibilities from there (depending on how far out it is, AA may not be bookable yet). If you're looking for Cathay flights, you may need to search from one of their departure cities through...

It's getting to the point that it's only safe to add QR as your last leg.

A common misconception. This is not a RTW award, rather a one world award which allows 35000miles of travel. Travel where you wish. You can only stop in a city once, you can also transit it though (twice if I recall correctly) They way you are getting to IAH is going to be the most...

I recommend flying to a destination you wish to visit on an airline you think you'll enjoy flying! Off the above suggestion, you could do AUS-HKG (cathay), HKG-EU (cathay), EU-USA (Iberia) and USA-AUS (AA) or (via HKG, Cathay), (via Tokyo, JAL)... the process will be a lot easier if you post an...

Fair enough fair enough. I'd probably would have routed through Madrid on Iberia and taken a Y domestic AA flight... but that's just probably showing my prejuidice for BA's J product and my desire to avoid their fees (if their product was world class, then it be a different story... just can't...
