Ahhh, I see. My usual problem of having a December anniversary, combined with my desire to book for last minute getaways. Thank you, that makes a lot of sense 🙏🙏

Whilst I’m a busy flyer, I’m a novice at status runs, however I’m going to struggle to retain my Platonum status this year and not quite ready for my soft landing back to Gold. The OOL-MEL-AKL route often seems like a great option, but no matter which dates I look at, I can’t seem to get...

That is unbelievably helpful!! Thanks so much, I'm off to book with Hertz now. Cheers!

Hi there, I am off to the US next week, with a road trip planned within California for several days. I have been hunting for the past month for the best deal on a convertible (call it a mid-life crisis :p), and thanks to all the great advice on this forum have been hunting across a number of...

Thanks Simongr! I'm a silver QFF, but will never make gold given my current flying habits...hence the reason I'm so happy to jump on the AA platinum bandwagon :D And unfortunately at the moment I don't have lounge access, so perhaps as Dave Noble suggested, I should try putting it in before...

I have just signed up to start the platinum challenge from the 16th November...about time! I've been eyeing this thread off for several months now :D I have a ticket booked in H class with Qantas from London to Brisbane. I have a connection from Milan to London, but can't seem to find the...

They're a gift for my parents for their anniversary, and their anniversary is this weekend. I've been looking at flights for months, but as I'm well versed in the art of procrastination I've only just got around to choosing which one to go with...only to find out the payment terms on all of them...

Hello all, Hoping you can help me!!! I'm trying to book a couple of international flights from Brisbane to Europe for March 2007. The only problem is that every flight I've investigated have terms that require payment within 2 weeks of booking for example. I'm just trying to find an airfare...

Oh my gosh, that is unreal!!!! I can't believe you need so little points. I wasn't even considering the program for the points value (more interested in status...), but this puts Qantas to shame!! :D

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I have made the decision to do the AA Platinum Challenge, and forget about getting from Silver to Gold. The primary reason I was hoping to do it was to gain access to the QC. Now I have seen the light and wondered how I hadn't sooner! Thanks for all the...

Ahhhh, I see, it all makes sense again...phew!! Thanks for the speedy reply Dave. :D Man, it seems almost too easy. No wonder everyone keeps mentioning babies and candy!! How does the whole world not know about this? How did I not know about this?! Thanks for everyone at...

Wow! That was a super fast response NM!! Thanks :D And it all sounds like great news!!! I could potentially look at a routing via Sydney or Melbourne...could you possibly tell me how much of a difference this is likely to make? And why does this apply when you fly the one flight code all the...

This whole Platinum Challenge sounds like gold!!! (no pun intended) I started a thread yesterday about trying to get the extra points I needed to move from Silver to Gold on Qantas FF, and it was very helpfully suggested that this might be more useful to me. I've read this entire thread, and...

That's fantastic advice Kiwi Flyer, thanks. I've been on the net all day looking for flights that might do the trick and ended up just confusing myself even further!! I'll definitely check out the Spain option, particularly as I really only have weekends to make a trip in. Thanks loads!

Thanks for the feedback JohnK....I had a feeling you were going to say that! :( Given that it's unlikely, I am considering trying a mileage run. I'm based in London, and the thought of having access to being a Saphire One World member would make life just a little bit more bearable...

Hi there, First off a big hello to everyone! :D I'm a Qantas Frequent Flyer who has had a Bronze status for about four years. Next month I will make it to Silver, and by the end of the year will only be 130 status credits off Gold. My credits expire on the 31st December, after which I...
