Really hard to fault. I did the same flight last year when I went on a massive AA spendathon. Everything really is top notch.

Since EY started the A380 service to SYD/MEL I booked as many AA awards as I could get for my trips to Europe (as well as some B789s ex-BNE). It was by far most valuable F redemption but all good things must come to an end at some point. At 162,500 miles I don't see myself traveling on EY metal anytime soon.
 
We were on EY11 on 26/12 after also being in F on the A330. 40,000 AA miles for MLE-AUH-LHR was an absolute steal.

The apartment was objectively better in every possible way except seat recline.

I couldn't fault the service or hard product on our flight. Priority boarding was a joke though.
 
I know that AA has so e weird rules for Aus to Europe. Hoe many points one way in J and F and can you stoppver. Thanks

As your flying with Etihad (as opposed to Qatar) using AA miles you can stopover as its classified as 2 seperate awards. 100,000 AA miles for Etihad in F to SYD-AUH and then another 50,000 to Europe I believe.

In September, we are flying Etihad (used AA miles) Melbourne-Abu Dhabi-Athens and I think it was 125,000 miles for J

coming back, we are flying Tel Aviv-Amman-Abu Dhabi-Melbourne and it was 80,000 miles for J (if my memory is correct)

So now that the 380 is being removed from Melbourne, will it be possible for me to book MEL-SYD-AUH-BOM all on one award for 100k AA miles?

Half a chance, I reckon. But only half.

The fact there is no A380 MEL-AUH has no impact on the award rules.

Without checking I doubt EY has a published fare for MEL-SYD-AUH-BOM which means it would not be possible. There's also the fact you're backtracking, although only slightly.
 
Thanks I did consider that. I think the best chance is for when Melb does not have availability and Sydney does.
I can always use some Avios miles to book my own flight to Sydney.
Etihad don't seem to have updated their systems to reflect the change in aircraft yet.

I think the published fare rule is only for origin-destination, not necessarily the actual routing with transfers. The MPM 25% would have to be looked at, too.

From what I understand the published fare can be one of two things... either routing restricted or MPM. You can run in to problems with either. EY may have a fare MEL-BOM, but they may not have a fare MEL-BOM that allows travel via SYD.
 
Quick question fellow AFFers.

SYD-NRT is 40K miles for J. Is it the same for premium economy?? Doesn't seem to say on their online chart.

Thx in advance.

Thx. But what does that mean? I found some flights on JAL with outbound only available in PE but inbound available in J.

ATM AA doesn't offer PEY awards. You also can't pay J but be ticketed in PEY. That may change once AA introduces their PEY cabins.
