Thanks :)

After far too many hours, website errors & crashes and thoughts of giving up, I've booked a OWA for my family of 4 mostly in J and all online (no call centre!) in Sep this year: QF SYD - MNL JL MNL - NRT AY NRT - HEL - ARN IB ARN - MAD (in Y) - BCN UL CDG - CMB UL CMB - SYD (in Y) Thanks...

So does gold/platinum not make a difference for other Oneworld airlines on flights outside Australia? Turns out the family member is gold - but I also wonder about implications when/if needing to call to finish or amend the OWA they'd want to talk to said family member, not me.

Hi all - I'm searching for 4 J seats each leg to make a OWA and occasionally see an option like the one pictured below, but when I click continue it turns out to be economy only. This is happening a lot. Anyone else experience this and is there a fix? Also - if I had a family member who is...

So I've finally managed to do a dummy booking for: SYD - YVR (QF) PDX - LHR (BA) - HEL (AY) HEL - LHR (AY) - AMM (BA) AMM - BKK (RJ) BKK - SYD (QF) Taxes $1658.72 (AUD) If I choose HEL - CDG (AY) - AMM (RJ) for the 3rd leg taxes for the trip go up to $1902.92 (AUD). Multiply this by 4 (yep 4...

Thanks @Lynda2475 for the tax comparisons and routing ideas. The taxes for the dummy booking (using multi city tool) were $1031.10 (USD) for 1 person in J.

Am looking at a PDX - HEL leg in Nov/Dec as part of a OWA in J and the taxes are pricing at USD1000 I'm assuming cause it has a connection through LHR. I realise flying out of LHR is tax stupidity but that was the cost of my whole OWA taxes a few yrs ago. Have things changed - or do taxes...

OK so if I'm searching for an award flight, for example, from MAD-JNB and it routes via LHR because it's on BA metal - do I need to calculate MAD-LHR-JNB even though I only want MAD-JNB? I had been trying to start the award from overseas but my choices seem too far and wide, particularly if...

Thanks @sqrt() and @Symesy9 Anyone able to answer my Q above about which type of miles is used? And if a want to fly direct but the award ads a connection (that ads miles) do I have to include that stopover in my 35kmiles calculation? Am trying to fit an Asia/Europe/South Africa/NW USA award...

Any tips on how to find oneworld carriers from Asia to Europe or home from JNB at any time of year? I miss the old Oneworld trip planner/interactive map, and can't make the new one or Flight Connections work as easy to give me options. I'm searching for a OWA for 4 (eek) and am pretty flexible...

Hi All - a couple of Q's: 1/ In calculating 35,000 miles use the great circle mapper for a OWA is it statute or nautical miles I'm after? 2/ I've used the Oneworld interactive map/planner in the past to discover where I could fly on Oneworld airlines (e.g. trying to find ways to get from JNB to...

Am trying to find some new Oneworld award routes. Any advice on what to use now the Oneworld interactive map seems to have disappeared? The flight connections site seems limited e.g. oneworld flights from manila gives only a few nearby options

What site and with what points?

If only there was a website of similar popularity where I could sell my QFF points....

I found 4 for travel in 2019 so hoped I could repeat the feat now with worldwide travel opening up. Have airlines tightened the screws on award seats? Thanks for the heads up about Friday. How would I find out about such releases in future?

@BriarFlyer is correct - I am after a OneWorld award - but trying to break it up into two holidays by starting the first trip from an airport overseas. Am flexible and open to using the points in different ways - but it's finding availability particularly for 4 in J that's the challenge. Will...

OK thanks. Am trying to book a one world award for 4 people (like a did in 2019) and finding the challenge daunting. Will keep trying whilst considering alternative ways to use QFF points for a family trip.

Hi Matt and others - I've just listened to the latest episode (#98) and wonder how one hears about new award seats being released? It's as if Matt and James (and others) are getting notified somehow...

Thanks. Looks like I've got till year end for fee-free changes: Change and cancellation fees for frequent flyer reward bookings

Thanks Mr H. So it's considered a change fee when adding more flights to the booking, as opposed to changing flights?
