    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Am pretty sure the "original ticketed departure date" means the first departure date on your ticket. I've done a split itinerary before and had 12 months from the date of departure to return. Perhaps there's something else wrong with your itinerary?

    It's a transit if it's less than 24 hours.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    That probably explains it. I'm only Platinum (and a newbie). Thank you

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Would appreciate some information about "manual intervention". The bot denied all of my requests even though Expert Flyer shows I9 on quite a few flights. I asked if a manual request could be lodged and was told that what she was doing (the bot) was the only option. Thanks in advance

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Have been booking my third J OW RTW fare x 2 and to say it’s been a nightmare is an understatement. I had BNE-HKG-DOH-LHR ticketed with CX/QR with about $AUD1000 in surcharges. I rang to add CDG-LHR-JFK/JFK-YVR/YVR-HKG/HKG-CMB/MLE-HKG-BNE/ with BA/CX/UL. I had J confirmed on everything and...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Have read lots about the different fuel surcharges and have been doing dummy bookings to check out the fees and charges for the first part of a RTW trip BNE-LHR. However, total charges are not showing a lot of variation. I did BNE-HKG-LHR with CX ($305 with "other carrier charges" - which I'm...

    Thanks for that. I guess I was hoping the definition of "departure" was different from "transit".

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Have done a couple of OneWorld RTW in one trip, however, am now looking at splitting the trip over the 12 months and need clarification around departing the same city/country once. Is it possible to depart SYD, stopover BNE and transit SYD twice eg SYD-LHR stop MXP-HKG-BNE stop AKL-SYD-SFO stop...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Thanks but too late for us unfortunately. Am OK though with what we have and will just keep an eye out for future releases. I've just never come across the notion that something that appears available on the Qantas website for award bookings is actually not available.

    Rang up yesterday to book the last legs of our RTW J trip 2017/2018. FYI: BNE-ADE-DOH-ATH stop AMS-LHR-MOS stop MOS-HEL-TXL stop TXL-JFK stop JFK-YVR stop LAX-HKG-CNS-BRIS 33,299miles Could see the LAX-CNS availability as an award flight on QF website, however, when I rang was told the CSR...

    Qantas Ultimate American Express Card: 112500 Qantas Points Offer

    Hey Jhig, used your referral so you should get 20K soon if not already as my card has arrived. Time is running out for people to take advantage of this great offer. Amex site says you have till Jan 30 to apply. It's a great deal - I've noticed the bonus points on most cards seem to be shrinking...

    American Express Explorer Referrals now live - 110,000 points!

    Fingers crossed. I lodged it last night. No auto confirmation of acceptance but a let you know email. I'm well above the income threshold and had a reasonable monthly spend when I did have the Amex so here's hoping. If it goes through I'd like to try for the rewards Amex before the end of the...

    Am going a little cross-eyed reading this thread and the other on Amex Rewards card but am in urgent need of points to complete OW RTW booking .... can someone tell me if there's any benefit to getting supplementary cards on the Qantas Ultimate? I know there is on the other but am halfway...

    American Express Explorer Referrals now live - 110,000 points!

    Re: Your Karma balance will reward you too. AMEX best offer IMO. I've been reading through this thread and, if I remember rightly, you had only cancelled an Amex card in August? I'm presuming if you're looking for referrals you got the card. Did you get the bonus points? I'd love to apply for...

    Business class - worth the points?

    I think though that most of this discussion is about using points to pay for J. I couldn't afford to pay cash although I'm interested to find out more about the purchase of miles that some have mentioned. That sounds like a reasonable option.
