Quick question for you guys (this thread seems to be the only one active):
I've been using Lifemiles for quite some time for flights to Europe, but something has recently come up and we need to book a flight pretty soon. We don't want to risk LM not having a special so are considering the the latest offer from AA (luckily I setup an account with them quite some time ago, so can take advantage, I just hope multiple tickets can be booked from a single account).
From what I can understand, Melbourne > Europe would be 85,000 points. With the buy 100,000 and get 50,000 free offer, and converting to AUD, this seems to be around $2,211.91 AUD for a J flight. Does that sound about right? Is there anything I should know before I decide to go ahead, or is it pretty simple booking flights etc? Flight will be from Melbourne to Istanbul, Athens or Rome, to depart early February. Oneworld has Qantas+Qatar flying to some of those destinations.
