Thanks Jacques - I did it again a couple of times and got it to show the 280k - I must have either inadvertently selected a non-partner (Emirates) or gone over the 35k miles, or actually now I think about it I wonder if there was a 3rd transit spot through London. Thanks for the tips.

I did but IVL wasn’t available in the QF tool so tried HEL instead and couldn’t get it to click over to the 280k at any point just kept adding points up to 492k.

Hi everyone - have done a couple of Economy class versions of this over the years, but looking to do a Business one in the next 18-24 months. Itineraries in the past have not been overly complex, but I just tried to put one through the oneworld engine to check validity of flights for itinerary...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread A big thanks to everyone for your help on here - just finalised and booked our 2nd OW Y awards (for 4 of us) with 10 flights/segments over 7 weeks in Xmas/NY 2015/16 ... booked it in parts, paid the change fees, lost some...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hi all, can you fly US Airways on the Oneworld Award as an affiliate airline of AA? I'm checking availability for flights on the AA website and it shows a stack of options on there for the route I want, but they are...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Does this mean an open jaw counts as an additional stopover? For example, if I flew Melbourne>Washington, made my own way to a 2nd US destination, flew from there on this award to Orlando, drove to Miami and flew from...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Have taken prior advice (thanks) and booked to the US next December rather than trying to get back to AU from there in January - but planning the 2nd major leg now and have a couple of quick questions.. a) We are looking to...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks again. 1) Is that 10am AEST - and 355 days out for QF awards? 2) Happy to fly BNE if necessary to get home (or out) 5) Interesting thought - checked NRT and still fits within the km requirements and flies direct...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Good thought - 27k miles for original planned trip - MEL-SYD-JNB-CDG-LHR-MAN-NYC-WAS-MCO-LAX-MEL (although if doing ground legs, do I not need to include NYC>WAS>MCO and just go NYC>MCO for example? Reverse route using HKG...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hmmm more food for thought, thanks vetrade. Do you think I'd be better to look at coming back a week or so earlier (ie. mid-ish Jan) and work out the earliest date I want to come back and just check availability 355 days...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thinking of one of the "RTW" itineraries for 2 adults, 2 teens (16/14) late next year/early next - ie. Dec/Jan... MEL>SYD>JNB JNB>FRA FRA>MAN MAN>WAS WAS>MCO MCO>MEL I have a couple of questions... 1) I can't find any...

Hoping you guys can provide some advice. Looking to book a Oneworld multi-city/RTW 140,000 point fare for the end of next year (starting early December) where the first destination is JNB. I'm concerned that SYD-JNB is typically a very busy route need to book that pretty quickly to get 4...

Re: Oneworld RTW 140,000 point fare Hi JohnRM, I booked a RTW flight this week for 140000 pts per passenger so definitely can be done as a OneWorld award. The rules are different though to what you see as the OneWorld Explorer tickets - 5 stopovers, 16 segments, 35000 mile maximum, must...

Re: Oneworld RTW 140,000 point fare Sorry I was probably a bit unfair to QANTAS in my post - my qualm was why did the f/flyer award booking engine even show the flight option when I had entered 4 passengers and only fail after I got gone through picking all the legs (and trying repeated...

Re: Oneworld RTW 140,000 point fare Hi FF's, Thanks for all your help - finally got an itinerary sorted (dropping Cairo based on what's happening there at the moment). Tried booking online and got all the way through each time with an error at the end stating "fare not available" - tried for...

Unfortunately still the case, so had to go via HK as no direct SYD-JNB availability.

Re: Oneworld RTW 140,000 point fare Only looking at Economy cabins, but the only other way to get to MCO I can see would be via NYC (without having to go further inland to Chicago/DFW) - would the taxes therefore be much of a muchness departing from JFK as opposed to LHR (although this would be...

Thanks JohnK, I knew it was you who mentioned it, just didn't know if it was correct board etiquette to mention you by name in a post. I had a feeling this might be the case given that SAA is no longer a OneWorld carrier, but was holding out hopes that it might be ok with a QF flight number...

Hi there. Can anyone advise if they have successfully purchased/travelled on a OneWorld "RTW" award including a QF numbered codeshare flight on South African Airways (Perth > Jo'berg)? The QF award booking engine shows the flight Ok, but another user mentioned it may give trouble trying to...

Re: Oneworld RTW 140,000 point fare Thanks again JohnK. I got it to work in removing that flight, but taxes are in the realm of $4800 for the 4 of us - would this be mainly because of the London transits do you think? I was expecting maybe 2-3k of taxes, but perhaps this was unrealistic on...
