Limewood what am I missing. Our points have been converted to AAdvantage miles, therefore we go through AAdvantage award bookings don't we? Are you saying there is a US Dividend Mile operator we can call who has access to flights or routes AAdvantage don't?

Don't fly PER-BKK ia any route I am aware of given Thai direst is a 7 hour flight, I would like to keep any alternative under 12 hours or overnight stays.

I'm glad you asked (and so politely), it made me go back and re-look at my 'activity statement' at A Advantage. I misread it because I made the US and UK bookings at the same time plus a PER-MEL retn booking. I now feel a lot better about the cost. It was only 160,000 points each! Basically I...

Thanks, I didn't even know initial allocations are done that far in advance - I will need to plan ahead better. I did try JAL via NRT but no joy. Yes, sometimes I checked what came up if I was just looking for one seat and I could have done something, but two is harder. At one stage I had sorted...

Sorry smit, I looked at this subject and it appeared every successful booking was done as a new thread not a reply to a previous post. I am inexperienced, but hardly deserved your tone. It is that type of response which makes newbies reluctant to contribute or upgrade their membership level...

I tried Per-BNE for the dates I wanted and then BNE-CNS but no go. I should have mentioned that when I arrived in CNS I discovered that it was a few days before some international iron man event which had the coast road between Port Douglas (my actual destination) and Cairns closed on my day of...

Thanks Trixydoza - I misread my activity statement- got the wrong line. So have edited post to 37,500 points from original 62,500 pts.

I decided to try booking AAdvantage further in advance and certainly availability of Business and First Class was much better, but the dates were still limited. I am figuring that maybe because I am in the lowest rung of AAirways frequent traveller, few seats open up for e when I look? 19 Jan...

No matter how many different routes I tried and different dates spread around a two week period, I couldn't get business class to LA. The AAdvantage operator had no options so I booked on line to save some fees. 2 PAX US$133.20 each 9 Aug QF Per-Syd-LA Econ 37,500pts each 13 Sep LA-SYD-(15SEP)...

I have spent many hours using the AAdvantage online system and using the AAdvantage operator to get flights - the operator hasn't been any better than me online. Is there a better way? There just seems to be so little availability for Business or better and some routes there are zero economy...

With Star Alliance PER - BKK was great, Thai airlines flies direct and there was always business class availability with USAirways points. Now trying to get to BKK from Perth sucks. There just seems to be no availability for Business seats PER- SIN, KUL, CGK, even HKG. I ended up paying for...

Link didn't appear to work. But good idea. I'm having trouble getting fights out of Perth on Business to US and Europe using AAdvantage points.

Have upgraded :)

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: AA Adv Perth to US, no availability for J class, also BKK, and points expiry ques AV8 (love the tag) - which airline was that?

Re: AA Adv Perth to US, no availability for J class, also BKK, and points expiry ques NM, I assume as I am not Platinum level so can't use the Platinum desk. But do you think if I suggested a look at JL to the AAdvantage operator it may help? Especially if I pick out a JL flight first?

A pop up advertisement is coming up on this site appearing to look like a legitimate mailbox message waiting for you. When you click on it you are advised that you are the winner of a $3,000 travel package. To cut a long story short it appears they get you to pay $898 of the package valued at...

Re: AA Adv Perth to US, no availability for J class, also BKK, and points expiry ques Thanks Deeskick. I'll give your suggestions a try. Just to clarify, when you mention the AA tool, are you referring to the "book AA Award travel' link on the AA advantage site?

Thanks to this forum I got on to US Air Dividend miles and became a dab hand at the relatively simple process of booking Perth - Europe return, or Perth Bangkok with Thai as I have family there. (all J Class). I don't take to change well, but managed a Perth Doha- Dubai rtn with Qatar (Business...

Even though Qantas is a US Airway/American Airlines partner. I couldn't book their direct flight to Dubai from Perth because it is operated by Emirates which isn't a partner - weird huh? So the next most direct flight I could get with a partner was as follows: Qatar Airlines QR901 18Feb2015 Dep...
