Yes, I can get to SYD for $169 and from there to the States. Looks like a good alternative. thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks Mwenenzi for your imput. I use Mileage Plus for my FF program. The FF staff are quite happy to book TWO separate award flights, PER to SNG and SNG to SFO for 130k miles vs 80k that I normally spend. If I can't get to the bottom of this 'new rule', I'll have to hope and wait for ANZ to...

Hi Mark, that's a good thought. The United FF folks seem to come up with a different answer everytime I call. Some reject the Perth-Singapore-SFO route option straight away, while others give me the flight (however was way out of my travel request dates by about a week). The ones who reject...

Hello all. I've flown FF from Perth to SFO yearly with either ANZ or SQ. This year, I was told by the FF staff, that I can't fly from Perth to SFO via SQ as there is some new rule prohibiting connection in Southeast Asia (Singapore or Hong Kong in this case). I did this route about three...

Just got my UAL newsletter in the mail and found that they have increased the mileage requirement for international flights from 60k to 80k :mad: :( as of October 2006. A sweet deal while it lasted.. Luckily I booked my January flight (PER-SFO) last month. Don't know how this will effect all of...

AKL Day Room Great info serfty. I'll sleep soundly knowing that I won't be doubled up and snoring in the departure lounge the better part of 13 hours. Thank you. Cheers

Thanks NM - glad to see there are some perks that come from ageing gracefully!

US credit card cssaus, Forgot to mention - yes, I'm a transplanted Yank with the much sought-after Social Security Number lol! My main problem with the US card is that they charge a 2% foreign exchange rate, which kills me as I live off of my credit card to accommodate my snow skiing...

Thanks oz_mark.. will investigate Westpac. All the best.

Yes, I searched that same cc table when Ansett went bust and with it went my Star Alliance link. Being in Perth, I'm stuck getting to SYD and from there onwards to SFO via United FF on my yearly trip. I think I'm down to Singapore Airline to make the trip from here to SFO entirely FF...

<<<You may like to check this link out. It will display all the fees & interest rates in one location. http://www.cannex.com.au/surveys/credcard.htm >>> Nice list, but FF info not included. Is there a credit card that gives FF to the Star Alliance group available in Australia? I use...
