Need to fly one-way from Adelaide to Chicago, around the 15th of August +- a few days.
Two questions:
I am heading for a year-long study abroad and do not know my return dates/cities, should I book a flexible ticket or two one ways?
I have Star Alliance Gold (Avianca Brazil Diamond), One World Sapphire (Air Berlin Gold), Skyteam Elite Plus (Alitalia FRECCIA ALATA PLUS/Platinum, also partners with Etihad). I am the king of status matches. For the dates I have looked, all airlines are really the same priced (~1300-1500 one way in economy) and hence really want to maximise my travel experience mainly lounges. Etihad is my first pick letting me use their new lounge in Melbourne, plus the first class lounge in Abu Dhabi however the trade-off is a longer journey time. Open to other options.
Cheers for the advice,
Rakesh
