So using points + paying taxes, surcharges etc will get me Melbourne - Hong Kong - Melbourne (or same points Melbourne - Singapore - Melbourne). How much will it cost me in $ to get a return flight from Hong Kong - Seoul - Hong Kong (or Singapore)? I've tried messing about on zuji and...

Thanks Serfty - of course it was late and I hadn't read your post correctly:oops: Sorry! Thanks for the update...cheers:)

Hi Serfty - is that one way or return? I thought it was 60,000 pts Melbourne - Singapore - Melbourne per person? If so - are those taxes/surcharges return as well or do I double them for return? Cheers!

Hi Mwemenzi - sorry - forgot to say thanks for letting me know about taxes, surcharges etc. Now that you mention it - I had read about that somewhere but had completely forgotten! Will have to keep on eye on those "extras" so I can budget accordingly. Cheers.

Thanks so much lovetravellingoz - as my son and I will be flying to Seoul we will probably use points for a Melbourne to Singapore or Hong Kong return, while purchasing a flight (with $$!) from SIN or HK to Seoul return. This may be the most "economical" way to spend points, $ and time. I've had...

Thanks so much everyone for this great info - just checking...if I have enough QFF points...can I purchase two return airfares for myself and my son with my points? (There's nothing silly like "the points in your account can only be used for travel by the account holder"??). With thanks for your...

Thanks for the reply Evan...just wondering...does a magazine subscription via Qantas Frequent Flyer equal "account activity"? Also - just received the email late yesterday from Qantas about changes to some credit cards. The Westpac Altitude Rewards is one of the ones that will be changing - so...

I'll be doing three trips in next three years - 2009 (UK/Paris), 2010 (Seoul) and 2011 (Italy):p For the 2010 trip in particular I'm hoping to get the fares on points. I started my Qantas FF balance with a trip to Singapore last year and will probably fly Qantas to UK next year. My husband...

Dajop - thanks so much for taking the time to look at those points for me. More options than I thought I'd have using points! And also - I hadn't realised Altitude Rewards can be used for Malaysian Airlines - I'll have to read stuff more carefully. I just saw that I can exchange Altitude Rewards...

Thanks so much for responses. Good to know I can use QFF points on CX via Hong Kong - otherwise I thought I might just have to use points for Qantas flight Melbourne to Singapore return, and then pay for a flight with someone (Singapore Airlines??) Singapore - Seoul - Singapore. Does anyone know...

Hi all - have a Westpac Altitude Rewards credit card (points redeemable for Krisflyer or Qantas FF points) and am also travelling to UK with Qantas next year. In 2010 I want to fly with my son to Seoul but when I look at Qantas website it only offers codeshare with Asiana out of Sydney (I'm in...

Just on Qantas Premium Economy and use of toilets discussion earlier in this thread...I emailed Qantas recently with the following question: Question about toilets for Premium Economy use. In the 747LR out of Melbourne, do the PE customers use the Business Class toilet in front of them, or the...

Thanks for that TravelGuru - I had actually wondered about BA WTP so now I know Qantas is better! And I too was a bit so-so on the Y leg home after a great 4 weeks away. However - there was that great special recently where if you travelled in WTP on BA they upgraded you to Club World in one...

Hi all - which would you choose?? Budget allows a spend of around AU$5,500. For this I can fly Qantas Premium Economy MEL-LHR return, or a combo fare flying economy to Singapore or Hong Kong and then Air France or possibly Swiss International Business Class via CDG or ZRH then to LHR - and same...

Many thanks TG and Fred. I will investigate the AF flights further with a TA. Cheers for now!

Hi Maninblack - thanks for comment. I tried again last night and fare still there - this time I went through to the Payment page and it clearly stated in a column down the left side - Business, Business, Business, Economy. So I suppose that means I can hold them to it?? (Would hate to be stuffed...

Hey maninblack - doesn't this somehow fall under false advertising then? The leg is called "l'Espace Affaires D" operated by Qantas - by choosing this leg it is a $6,700 fare, while if I choose the economy Melb-Singapore leg the fare is $5,500. How can an airline's website offer a fare and class...

Me again guys - and many thanks V8 for confirming my "messing about"! I have just used a couple of different dates - late May until early June this time - and got the $6,700 fare back again as per my original post. I can see the "Economy D" on another day that someone mentioned earlier but the...

Hey guys - just tried to do same dummy booking (which was in May 2009)as per my quote above and suddenly the prices have changed and now same thing is up to $7,500 ish. Can this sort of deal change overnight? A fare that was bookable yesterday for May 2009 is now not available? Or could this be...

OK - am trying to copy and paste fare from air france on to this forum but I got booted off. I'll try just to c & p the bit that is in question....AF80913:30 PMMelbourne, Tullamarine (MEL) - Australia9:05 PMSingapore, Changi (SIN) - Singapore22h50mn direct flight, B 747l'Espace Affaires D...
