Yes, thanks alot to the 2 ^^^^ posters for clearing things up. But also for pointing out about the 1world carriers. Look I dont have a huge number of points about 110,000 and return Syd LAX was 96k but that seem like hey unreal.....til I saw I needed to shell out about $800. But it was a good...

Yeah thanks for the replies. I guess doesnt have to be Qantas but just thought I could or should do something with the points. Actually am planning to go after school holidays to avoid the peak here. Just wondering when you talk about status I guess that the status points or bronze, silver...

Yeah OK thanks. I mean I'm happy to fly economy, I like way up the back. You just gave me a thought about maybe buying an economy seat and trying to upgrade to premium. I guess I'm thinking what will I use these points for as I'm not really a frequent flyer at all, but I understand and...

Hi, Not that long ago I came here in deep regret on booking my first trip to the USA. I returned and ate humble pie because it was great. Anyway the daughter is going to LA for 1 week in July and asked me to go. Well I jumped at it. So my question is that I have enough points for an award...

Hello All, Well I went and returned this morning on QF 12, and went straight to work after dropping my bags home. Thanks to all who encouraged me to go, I'm grateful for your encouragement, just some thoughts: 1. Last night the flight from LA to SYD was delayed a bit because 6 armed police...

Well couldn't select seats because according to Qantas in the fine print somewhere if you select using points you have to select all in one go. If you only use points to select the first leg, then log off then that's it you are locked out of using points. Over the past few days I've been trying...

May sound silly but was wondering if you can convert points to cash or an eftpos card, could find anything about that, so I guess not ?

I understand. It cost me 10k but mates gave me the $25. I guess I'm thinking the impression given is you can pay by points which Qantas staff weren't sure about. But really I don't have enough points to do anything anyway, like an up grade to premium is 130,000 I think each way (?) so 70,000...

I went today to book my seats online and found out something interesting that others may or may not know. Any trying and trying to select seats with no luck, so call Qantas and the lady is stumped as to why I cannot choose points as an option to select my seats in advance. She has to refer to...

Kate, well done on your honesty, seriously you have my admiration. But I feel very similar, the ocean bit, yep can feel that as well. I think though, there are probably a fair few places along the way they could make an emergency landing, like Hawaii. Your planning seems to be doing well, I...

Hi Kate thanks and good luck to you as well. I know somebody, an author who travels to Europe a few times each year, he's a plane nut, knows so much about aircraft & flight. Anyway, he gets jittery flying. And I reckon many many people don't like it or get anxious, the issue is to what...

Thanks you're all making it sound tempting, like when I was at the travel expo. Going to do a test and sit in my car rear seat (30 inches) for 2 hours watch a movie then get up, see how it goes. I can apparently book an exit row on the upper deck in economy but its way down the back, 35D does...

Thanks for all the positive vibes. question, can the pilot fly 14 hrs straight ? i know my mates have booked the back because they reckon it's the smaller economy section and I should fell a little less claustro. I have like 3 weeks before going and because of mum transferring points from...

Yeah thought about the sleep tablets but it's cramped in economy and you have to move around to prevent DVT. aparrently there are 2 exit row seats on the top econo deck but can you book them if you're only 5 foot 8 ? they are 2 seats in a row of 3 and the 3 seat is already taken.

Hi Happy Travellers. Hope this isn't too long. I booked and paid for a Qantas flight to NYC, leaving in December returning in late Jan. now I have massive regrets. Maybe easier if I list them 1 long flight from Sydney in econo....never had such a long flight. 2 plane seems to be full only...
