    Why not stockpile AA points

    Like others here I agree there can still be good values. However, if you are consistently flying to Europe twice a year, it may be worth you looking at nested trips from Europe to Aus return when there are sale fares? can sometimes get good business class deals (eg on Qatar) that way from...

    Am I crazy? BCN-MIA-UVH (St Lucia)-NYC-CDG on AA (J)

    Is Hobart the worst Qantas Club in Australia?

    It is definitely better than the Hobart Virgin lounge offering though, so perhaps no need is felt to offer anything better?

    Panic is setting in! AA Points purchased.

    If I were you I'd book the BCN-DOH flights now (2 J showing on 19th). Then wait, and hope for some connecting DOH-OZ flights to turn up. They'll be flying into PER, MEL, SYD and ADL by then right? There are award seats showing in June/July to Syd and Adelaide, so may just be that they haven't...

Didn't cost any more miles or any change fee (as still the same origin and destination) and in fact...
