I am writing to you from YZF in northern Canada. My family of four is embarking on a 6 month round the world trip from approximately April 1 to September 30, 2020. I realize that the current RTW sale for Finnair is ending today and is not for my intended time period. I notice that they have...

After reading this post, I've done some research and found that the Virgin Australia/Virgin Atlantic round-the-world sale seems to be back from $1,414 in economy, including taxes. This is departing from Sydney or Melbourne - there is a small surcharge if leaving from other Australian cities...

Hi I am trying to include Vietnam in my round the world itinerary using Qantas Frequent Flyer Classic Flight Rewards. I wish to fly from Madrid to Vietnam then onto Melbourne. Regardless of which airport I select in Vietnam I get the response that it is not available on the Classic Flight...

I have booked a RTW redemption booking in business class through Singapore Airlines and it has been ticketed. On it, it states my luggage allowance is 2 pieces per person but no kg limit. I called the Singapore Airlines number and the agent was very unsure but thought it was only up to 30kg per...

In August, I'm booked on a round-the-world ticket (Star Alliance) Melbourne-Los Angeles (United) Los Angeles-Boston (United) Boston-Zurich (Swiss) Zurich-Frankfurt (surface: own arrangements) Frankfurt-Seoul (Lufthansa) Seoul-Sydney (Asiana) Sydney-Melbourne (Qantas) I booked quite some time...

Looking for some advise and help from AFF who have managed to snaffle the elusive J flights using Krisflyer points RTW. Having finally saved up the 240k points each to fly RTW in J my husband and I are now at the planning stage and to be honest it's not as fun as I thought it might have been...

In 2014 I booked a seven month RTW trip using Qantas FF points and oneworld alliance airlines. It was relatively straightforward to look up flights with eligible seats with the tools provided. I'm about to do this. again but find when I click on classic rewards flights only I get taken to a one...

So I've just managed to get myself and Mrs BD onto 2 x 280000 J awards via the QF Multi city tool. I can select seats for all the BA flights but I have QR, AY, CX and IB legs that I can't do it with via QF. Can I select if I go to the individual airline websites using QF's PNR? If not then...

Question for the *A experts, we are currently planning for a F rewards trip next year with the main destinations being UK, NYC and CA. Not fussed if we travel east or west however west is looking like a better option. After stumbling across this thread what do you look forward to more the flight...

It was many years in the making. I read and researched and read some more and weighed up options. In the end I decided *A would be the best suited based on future travel plans and what airlines flew where. We signed up with KrisFlyer in particular as they had announced they would fly from...

Hi. I'm doing a Discount Biz RTW with Swiss/Lufthansa and all sectors are fine except travelling HNL-SYD on QF. There is currently only one seat available, and we need 2. They won't let us take the one seat and the other person fly economy for that sector (still paying full biz RTW fare), so...

Hi, I am early in my points earning with around 200k in VA and around 100k in qff and trying to work out which path is best to take as my goal is a rtw business trip for myself, wife and daughter. I have only silver va status and no qantas status anymore. With the cost of kris flyers...

So I'm sure many of you saw this article in the SMH traveller section: Round-the-world in luxury: What 1 million frequent flyer points will get you I'm really wondering how in the world a lowly QF member found 4 J seats on all those QF and OW flights - I certainly can (almost) never find even 2...

We need to be in Canada in October and current prices appear to be close to $3k each in Y. We have hundreds of thousands of points in QFF, Krisflyer and Virgin reward programs so I started looking into RTW trips and think I could find something that also gets me a Euro holiday the following...

Hi All, - Have just booked the family of 4 (all adult fares) a J class RTW airfare. First and last flight is QF so will accrue QF Status and points i am told, but the rest of the trip is UA (cross Coast in the US) and the rest is LH. I am currently Velocity GOld and have been told i can have...

My husband and I are aiming for RTW J class in the next year or so. With the devaluation of VA to SQ just want to make sure that we are doing some transfers the most effective way. He has 450k velocity, I have 65k which we will be moving over to Krisflyer before the end of the year (we would...

Similar to the great combined VA / VS RTW ticket offered last year, does Velocity provide an opportunity to redeem points similar to *A & OW RTW package opposed to full redemptions per sector? Would be interested to know the redemption pricing for SYD-HKG-LHR-JFK-LAX (Open Jaw) - SYD.

Hi People Ok here’s the question. At the end of this trip I will have 1395 SCs.. 5 short of platinum! I head off on a RTW on 9 Dec. is it worthwhile to spend $280 for a bne> Rockhampton return to get 20SCs?? ie will platinum make a difference compared to gold. Obviously I would go play after...
