When to Book Qantas Reward Flights in Business & First Class

Looks like 353 days out is the lucky number or if Bronze or silver status 308 days out.

Hmmm i wonder if i can reach gold status before booking my RTW flights later down the track then

You're now getting the idea - but I do wish that you would stop calling it a RTW flight... .

Perhaps we can merge this thread with the existing, exhaustive thread on this type of award.
