Hi guys, Loving this forum and appreciate all the help in advance. Hoping I can continue to return the favour. Myself and the Mrs are planning to do a big RTW trip beginning in May 2019. The plan is to head to Europe ex Sydney before we have to attend a wedding in KL on 13 July. Hoping for...

Hi guys, long-time lurker. Previously posted about my trip 4 years ago but did not come to fruition due to some personal circumstances. Looking to resume this now and wanted to clarify a few things if anyone can assist. I've trawled through the majority of the thread but did not get any major...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I was thinking the CDG back to SYD with BA via LHR so that's probably something to work with. My preference would be to make it as direct as possible with minimal stopovers but I'll definitely keep those options in mind...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Absolutely agree with you on all counts. To be wholeheartedly honest, I would be very surprised if I push the 8 - 10 month period for long term travel as I would more realistically expect to be on the road for 6 months...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Excellent! Thanks so much for the clarification.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread That's brilliant! Just what I wanted to hear :) so then to reflect the T&C's, when they term it as one year valid from the time the booking is 'ticketed', your booking is only ticketed when you have taken your first flight...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Sorry so correct me if I'm wrong then as I just had discussion above you with vetrade that it may be tricky to do a 8 - 10 month long trip booking months ahead as that would limit my travel time.. If I'm reading you...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Good thing I've got a year to figure it out! ;) Cheers vetrade.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Definitely have considered being more flexible, after all, that was the name of the game for us originally but the lack of availabilities for award fares at the last minute is worrying! :S However, the reason for removing...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I see.. much trickier then.. I remember seeing 3,500 points, is that right? If not enough points, how much in cash do we need to pay?

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Understandable. Appreciate you doing that vetrade. Below is what I had in mind if anyone can foresee a less risky option if a) I am set in stone with this itinerary and b) would only look to change dates for all flights...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I was actually hopeful of just getting the itinerary all sorted out prior rather than adding on flights with just changes of dates. Hence, the question regarding when a ticket may need to be reissued? Do you think that's a...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks vertrade for your quick response. I don't foresee any issues with booking it in just before the commencement of my trip but that may limit (or even extend) my choices on what is available. I guess that's an inherent...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hi everyone, Long time lurker. I've just got a couple of quick ones as I seem to have trouble figuring out if someone could care to clarify: - I understand once ticketed, you must complete your trip within the year at the...
