Hi all....still trying to learn how to maximise our flights My wife and I used to work FIFO...so had built up a few FF points (don't worry we never work fluro at the airport )
We have a flight booked Sydney - Honolulu on Jan 19th...which I made through the website...was $443.26 (AUD) + 57,600 pts for economy seats.
We have a combined 56,000 points left.
I have been trying to see when some business class seats become available for the long flight...and was advised that the Jetstar flight business class should be 115,200 for both of us. At the moment there are no seats available as an award booking.
So im thinking should i.....
Cancel our current booking..receive the points back less 3500 each ...and just rebook using the call up marginal ASA method...so at least i earn SC and FF points? (we are both currently silver). If i do this...does this give the option of requesting an upgrade if available?
If business was available...ive worked out we are only short by about 10K points...which i would purchase to top up..... we've never flown business ...but at the moment is not
Thanks in advance for any help
