    Just now, when attempting a One-World Award booking, after selecting all the flights and confirming my details and the flights, including agreeing to the conditions, on the next screen after the red text "Managing you Booking" page, this error message was displayed: "An error occurred in our...

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

    Thank you very much DC3 (I loved that plane; Austrian Airlines had one doing the cargo run from Vienna to London and I often hitched a ride while working at Heathrow for the AUA), I have some more 'silly' questions which I can't find answers for: 1) if a J class OneWorld award is for two...

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

    I am unsure when the Sep 18 changes actually kick in, or rather, will the old 280,000 points fare apply to flight booked before that date or to flights commenced before that day?

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

    I am confused and trying to fully understand the conditions described in this paragraph of the Qantas rules for Classic Award flights, assuming that it also applies to the oneworld Classic Award flights: "14.3.9 If a Member fails to board a Flight Segment of an itinerary containing only Classic...

    Luggage allowance on CBR to PVG Journey with onward J class booking

    That was my question also to the Qantas online chat person - the reply was "no, per bag". Now, I wonder whether that lack of knowledge/understanding also extended to the information I was given in regard to carry-on limits (i.e. that it could only be one bag of 7kg), which clearly goes against...

    Luggage allowance on CBR to PVG Journey with onward J class booking

    SYD-xx_ in our case is SYD-HKG-PVG on CX110/KA808, later PVG-LHR on BA168, and more... Is that a qualifying "journey", I wonder.

    Luggage allowance on CBR to PVG Journey with onward J class booking

    Got to chat with Qantas Support eventually and learned that check-in limit is 40kg for each bag (that is onward Business ticket overrides Dash8 limit) but cabin bag is limited to one piece of 7kg and 105cm dimensions (that is Dash8 limit prevails). Hope that's correct!

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

    Re: One world Round The World Business booking using Qantas points. So, can each stopover also be a surface segment, making five altogether? Or, as I recall reading somewhere, are only two surface segments permitted in a 35,000 miles ticket?

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

    That's actually good news! I had thought it would increase to 7,000 points per change per person (hence my 14,000 per change calculation) and from the 1st of December. That helps!

    Does RTW OneWorld Awards in Business for 280,000 ff points still exist?

    Having read about it in the Best Round-The-World Deal booklet, I have tried to get Qantas Reservation to work with me on booking such a trip but they can't find it anywhere. Cheers, Joseph
