Hello folks. I need to get from Europe to PER on or soon after 13 Oct. I have 400k+ QF points and would like to travel Business or First. I don't have a login for any other FF programmes but am happy to get one if it can be done without flying.

We'll be in Portugal, but could do a single flight from there, MAD or BCN to connect. Don't want to go to turkey or fly with any dry carriers.

Can it be done?

Cheers,
Alex
-EDIT- Sorry forgot that we are 2x pax

Searching the Qantas website brings up MAD or BCN-xDXB-PER on the 18th October for 168k in F with Emirates.
 
Not for me :( - sorry though my bad I didn't mention we are 2 pax - apologies.
 
A number of factors to improve success rate:

- How soon is "soon" after?

- What is the earliest/latest you can leave EU/arrive PER?

- Can you travel separately (if single availability across 1-2 days)?

- Will you connect further afield than BCN/MAD?

Found:
BCN-DXB-PER in F on 18/10 (EK) 168k ea.
MAD-DXB-PER in F on 18/10 168k ea.

Other things to look at:
- availability on DXB-PER
- separate bookings rather than "through" (ie. stopover in DXB or availability separately BCN-DXB and DXB-PER)


Also, the qantas site is being pretty buggy today - keeps dumping me out hence lack of options given.
 
15/10 - BCN-DXB-SIN on EK F, arriving in SIN at 15:00 on 16/10. There is also a MAD-DXB on EK F that will work, same DXB-SIN flight. 144k QFF per pax.

15/10 - MAD-DOH-SIN on QR J, 104k QFF per pax

16/10 - SIN-PER QF78 J 2pax, departing SIN 23:45, 50k QFF per pax. (Can see this flight on single booking, not when I multi-city it with the above?? Might be worth a call to contact centre to book as part of one itinerary)

so in total:
If EK F & QF J = 194k QFF per pax
If QR J & QF J = 154k QFF per pax

Or

15/10 - MAD-DXB-KUL on EK J/F, connecting to KUL-PER on MH J. 178k QFF per pax. Can see this online as multi city.

Cant give estimate of taxes as points balance isnt sufficiently high enough.

Edit: All this was seen with no status with QF. I assume those posting above have status as I cant see DXB-PER in F either.
 
Some good options by tizey

I could only get the "through" flight ex-BCN or MAD as previous, nothing ex-DXB with PER as final destination. Gold status. Plat/PlOne/CL may see more.
 
Thanks both. Wouldn't be prepared to travel separately. Not crazy about redeye on the QF78, but as only 5h then routing via SIN might be ok to take last leg in Y.

Currently based on tizey's suggestions leaning toward 13/10 EK F MAD-DXB EK J DXB-SIN and paying cash for QF72 in Y hoping a points upgrade may materialise in the interim.

Any idea why we can't book DOH-PER online? I see plenty of J&F availability MAD-DOH and PER-DOH.
 
Not sure why you can't - maybe worth a call to see if they can do it over the phone?

Will do. Currently hoping to board at MRU today if Cyclone Ava lets us go. Thanks for assistance, will post back with findings.
 
Actually the QR connection is no good even if I could book it, 22h layover.

Tried to book 13/10 MAD-DXB, 14/10 DXB-SIN and 14/10 SIN-PER, and it fails at the last with:
"We are unable to confirm your selected flights. Select ‘Start over’ and choose alternative flights. (15079 - 421)"

No way of telling which is the problem leg :(
 
I think it's the sin-per leg. I could see that flight in J when searching as one flight, but couldn't find it as part of a multi leg trip.
