Thanks for all of the replies. We tend to be there early, especially when hanging around on long layovers. Unfortunately we can't justify paying more money to gain status. We often find savings of $1000+ by flying with a random carrier, and that adds up pretty quickly. E.g. $580 BsAs >...

Hi All, Was hoping someone could shed some light on this. We've travelled quite a lot lately, all one-way flights, never the same airline (really, I don't think we've ever flown the same airline). And very often we get to choose our seats when we book, but when we arrive and check-in (web or...

Hi All, Are there any catches/tips/tricks to booking one-way award seats with QF? I've searched the forums already, but couldn't find anything definitive for QF. Assume immigration at the destination is fine with it; I'm just wondering if I'll encounter issues with the airline (booking the...

Thanks for the info serfty. There's a bit of a catch. We're hoping to leave sometime early June this year and don't have the QFF points yet. We'll easily get there by the time we leave, but I suspect this is an issue. Do you think we have any hope securing an award RTW for departure in...

Hi All, Quick question: what would be the best way for me + 1 to book the following: a QFF award LONE4 seat, plus a paid LONE4 seat to go for the AA plat challenge We would like to sit together with a minimum of fuss, but we'd like to take advantage of existing QFF points for one of...

Many thanks for the advice DrR and AC. That's a good idea; one of us can focus on QFF one on AA. Not sure how likely it is, but we may be able to book one award RTW and use the other paid RTW to go for AAPlat. But consensus seems to be that we shouldn't forget pricing in aiming to achieve...

Thanks lovetravellering... that's a really good point you make about just saving money. It's so easy to get caught up in all of this, when really, most of us have bigger fish to fry. I found this thread on the QFF vs AA debate...

Hi all, I've talked about my rough plans and intermediate understand of QF and AA on this thread http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/about-embark-indefinite-rtw-travel-21720.html#post299918. It seems that the QFF program doesn't really give me much love...

Thanks for the reply Mr scibo10 I'm really struggling to see value in the QFF program. If I can't upgrade (being a lowly QFNB), then the only use is for award seats (talking international here). From my understanding, premium award seats are just as rare as premium upgrades. So the only value...

Hi All, Wow, what a forum. I've been reading and reading... and reading, but this "other world" is still very otherworldly to me. Nonetheless, I've learnt a lot, so thanks to everyone for the content. I'd be very grateful for some advice regarding frequent flyer programs. My partner and I are...
