    Any tips for booking business class from Australia to Japan?

    I'm wanting to use points for a ski trip next year in Jan/Feb. I'm wanting to fly Business class (or first if I find the unicorn) and am pretty open with dates, but I'm finding very little availability and nothing that seems enticing. The AA site seems to only give me routings on Fiji Airways...

    Is there ever QF61 QF62 Award Availability?

    Is there ever QF61 QF62 Award Availability? Seems like those flights never appear in an awards search on Qantas,

    Is there a way to fly first class from Australia to Japan using AA points?

    I think you used to be able to get first class on Qantas to HKG from SYD and then Cathay Pacific from there. I can't find any first class flights with Qantas anywhere at the moment though. Any suggestions?

    New First Suites seem impossible to redeem as Saver

    The old style first suites are readily available as a Saver redemption, but the newer version is always 'waitlist' at best. Am I being blocked because I have no status? Do they just book out the instant they are released? Or am I just missing something? Cheers, Pete

    Have a 'go to first unread post' in sub forums

    I love being able to click from the main forum page to the first unread post in a topic. It seems a shame not to have this very useful function in the sub forums. Any chance of adding it?

    1 night luxury on a budget in HKG. Suggestions?

    Hi folks, I've booked my wife and I on a trip to Japan via Hong Kong. The flight is a 1st class award redemption with a 1 night stop over in Hong Kong. I'm hoping for a touch of luxury, is anyone aware of good value upmarket options for dining and/or accomodation? Cheers, Pete

    Flying Business Class from Japan to Australia

    I'm heading over Japan late January next year for some Skiing. I've sorted out getting there using AA points and am now looking to get home using my Qantas points. At the moment the best option seems to be to fly Business class CTS-HKG-BNE with an overnight in HKG. This comes to 184,000 points...

    Are there any 1st class flights on OneWorld from Aus to Japan?

    Hi folks, I've got a few AA miles that I'm looking to spend. I'm thinking of a skiing trip early next year. I've never flown 1st class and most likely never will unless I do it via points. Going 1st class to Japan would be fun, but does it exist? Cheers, Pete

    Buy a house with a credit card?

    I'm going to buy a house in the near future and will be paying for around 60% of it with a loan for the remainder. Seems like a golden opportunity for flyer miles, but does anyone know if it's possible to do this? (or has actually done it.) Cheers, Peter

    Credit Card for frequent flyer points while overseas?

    Hi folks, I'm wondering what people think the best credit card for travel is. I know the 28 degrees card offers fantastic value for cash advances, but I'm wondering if I should pair it with a points earning card for when I'm able to pay by credit card. I've noticed the Bankwest Qantas Platinum...

    Which program should I join?

    Hi all, I'm new to this traveling around thing and looking to get the most out of it. I foolishly didn't sign up for any frequent flyer program before my last holiday to thailand, but this time I'm going to get something out of it! I'm heading off to England in about 6 weeks flying...
