    Best way to fly on points

    Thanks for the reply NM. I am only Bronze QFF. So what's the answer? Do I ditch QFF and join another airline rewards scheme. How do you increase your chances of an upgrade with QFF? This is what I'm trying to ascertain. What is the best way to fly J RTW or BNE-LAX. Thanks
