Welcome to AFF Anna38. 140,000 for economy, 280,000 for business.

I've just booked one of these and I found that you need to book flights on 2 or 3 airlines or the total will be much more than 280,000, say if you stuck with Qantas the whole way.

There's a lot more about this in this thread:

(A QFF oneworld award needs to have travel on at least two oneworld carriers other than Qantas)

Welcome to AFF, Anna. The way I understand it from talking to a QF CSO on 13 11 31, the 280 000 points is a business class RTW ticket. This only allows 5 sectors. I had planned a trip for next year which went:

SYD - HKG (QF)
HKG - DXB (CX)
DXB - LHR (BA)
LHR - YUL (BA) These are four of the sectors that I would include. The next 4 sectors I would pay for myself and fly economy since they are being operated by AA, and apart from one are basically short haul.

YUL - ORD
ORD - AUS (because my youngest daughter lives there)
AUS - SFO
SFO - HNL

The last sector I would count as one of the five on points.

HNL - SYD (QF)
