Hey guys, complete and utter newbie here with the FF program.
So my partner and I are looking at heading to America next year and we are looking to use our points for upgrades to and from the states and linking our FF to as many flights as possible.
Looking for a bit of help and assistance as to best way to go, we are tossing up between business on the way over or premium economy both there and back.
No flights have been booked as yet as we are leaving approx this time next year.
The flights we will be looking at are as follows
Adelaide to LA
San Francisco to Austin
Austin to Las Vegas
Las Vegas to Calgary
Calgary to Toronto
Toronto to New York
New York to New Orleans
Louisville to Sydney
Sydney to Adelaide
We are looking at hiring cars at points to explain the gaps in the travel there.
Any advice, tips and pointers would be amazing as I’m a bit over my head with all of this.
Ive been told that due to our new status as members (will have 2 domestic return flights on the accounts each by the time we travel) that we are unlikely to receive an upgrade. if this is the case, when would we find this out, could we ring qantas to speak to them in regards to an upgrade before spending the money on flights only to find we don’t receive the upgrade? If this is the case I would prefer to put the points towards the flights and pay less.
Any advice or tips would be incredibly helpful!
thanks in advance
