Hi all , here are mine & mrs Austff's plans for upcoming trip. We are both QF bronze , both newbies .
have booked return Y flights for August , SYD - LAX -MCO -LAX - SYD , QF11 - QF3223 (AA) -QF3216 (AA) - QF12 . Fare classes O - N - S - O . These should all pay 0.5 pts x 9,680 miles x 2 = 9,680 pts . (a) are my figures correct ?
(b) should just 1 of us do the challenge for both of us to benifit , as we will be travelling together (haven't signed up for plat challenge yet) ?
At LAX we have a 10 hr layover !
(c) If I get 2 Qantas club passes can I use the T terminal lounge for showers dining etc ? . our next flight leaves T4
(d) if we can't do (c) can I buy 2 AAdmirals passes & use lounge at T4 ?
(e) which is the better lounge ?
(f) do we have to go landside to get from Tom Bradley to T4 ?
We plan to do a trip to Canada from MCO on AA but not booked yet , (g) will this be enough flights to complete the challenge ?
We are planing to do this trip every year ( with different flights from MCO ) as we
(h) will platinum status last till Feb 2015 ?
(i) does credit card spend credited to AA count to requalifying for plat , if not how much flying would I have to do ?
Many thanks in advance for help with this .
