re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Any chance I could also take you up on your offer to check distance madrooster? Route is: BNE-SIN-SYD-DOH-FCO-CDG-ORD-HKG-BNE (FCO-CDG is a land route) GCmap gives me 34,860 miles.

No problem. Excess the grammar and spelling, I was on my phone! Paging Red Roo. :D

As per my previous posts, the issue here is not that gold may see some extra award availability, but the fact that close to all J international award availability has been removed from NB accounts for all available dates in 2017. This very large change happened overnight with no correspondence...

I have called Qantas and attempted to make a dummy booking using my NB account. They advised that there was no availability in J for the route BNE-SIN for anytime in Feb/Mar 2017. I then told them that this was what I was seeing on the website, however it was very different to what I could see...

The change happened literally overnight when they announced the ability to upgrade award bookings using points. I was keeping an eye on award availability at the time for an upcoming trip and there was plenty (75% of days) of J award availability on my bronze FF account for Jan/Feb 2017 and then...

Exactly. This no/low availability of award flights is far above the normal high demand cycle. Even typically low demand routes have no availability.

I also noticed ExpertFlyer returning strange award results for some Asian routes as well. EF shows almost no availability on QF metal for month Feb/March (same as Bronze FF), while a Gold FF account shows J on QF available nearly every day. Haven't had a chance to look at US or Europe yet.

It can only be 3 things the way I see it: - Website bug that just happened to occur at the same time they introduced award upgrades using points and only for NB. - A deliberate attempt to remove award availability searching from new/low tier accounts and you now have to call them to make an...

The debate? QF has removed every single business class award flight on QF metal for every single international route for all of 2017, basically overnight without any statement or release. The flights were all available last week. (based on my analysis of 8 different routes) How is this not a...

Seems like there may have been a policy change in award flight availability. There were plenty of available flights in 2017 on a lot of different routes on Thursday however over the weekend they just vanished. Not sure if it is a coincidence that it was at around the same time that point...

BD if you click into those couple of dates that are available (using bronze QFF) you'll see that they are partner airline flights, not QF. Doing my own investigation (of around 10 routes so far), I have found that there is no QF J availability on any international sector in 2017.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Yes it would appear being Gold is the difference. I just logged into a "different" gold account and the normal award availability was all there. The bronze account had no QF availability at all. This seems like a new...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread If I search Feb 2017 (SIN-BNE) I can only see J availability on the 27th and 28th and neither of these are on QF.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I mean every route I search there is no J availability on any date in 2017. Its only happened in the last couple of days since point upgrades were announced. There is no availability on any international route in J on QF. I...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Is anyone else having problems searching Qantas J award availability for 2017. For the last couple of days I have been unable to see any Qantas J award space on any international route in 2017? Only options that come up in...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Your mention of Santorini gave me some beach break ideas. Was a quick look so check for errors ;) A simple option would be an open jaw in JRO, take land/boat transport from JRO to Zanzibar (ZNZ) and fly back to DOH from...

Re: Vinomofo Wine Deals Anyone know what the Grand Cru fridges are like? Spend $200 at DM's and get a 34 bottle Grand Cru for $335. https://www.danmurphys.com.au/list/grand-cru?i_cid=dskmob:0303:GRANDCRUSPEND241115 Similar to the Vintec deal, although I'm guessing not as good quality.

Not the Sauvignon Blanc your after, however I can confirm the other one the Fo have up at the moment is the Evens and Tate Breathing Space. https://vinomofo.com/wines/white-wine/mof_-secret-deal-sauvignon-blanc-2014

Has anyone tasted the 2013 Kangarilla Road Alluvial Shiraz yet? https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/mof_-secret-deal-shiraz-2013-Oct-28-15

Vino sold it back in August with the same description etc. I believe this is the one where they included "Kangarilla Road Alluvial" in the email newsletter URL! https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/mof_-secret-deal-shiraz-2013-9c415243
