There is definitely an art to it - be flexible, and hope that the angels shine on you - and it will be a great experience.
Just came back from a RTW 'Oneworld' 280K award trip (2 months OS).
Just one thing I want to say about Qantas and their Oneworld Partners - EXCELLENT
In the process of planning the next one.
Do you mind sharing how much in taxes you had to pay for this business class RTW ticket per person. We are thinking of doing this next year. Thanks.
Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
WE are going to sit down this afternoon and do our wish list for this 280K Award for June next year. One question though if we say go to Hong Kong and then say Barcelona and the UK can we double back for the return journey for two stops at for example Jordan and Shanghai ? We normally like to come back via the USA but thinking we might drop that this time.
Our Reservations team would be happy to review your proposed itinerary. They are subject matter experts and can assist you with availability and suggested alternatives. Feel free to contact them at your convenience as they're open 24/7 on 131313.
How did you go with your preliminary planning??
And yes these 140k/280k awards are not round the world awards as such, as long as your mileage doesn't go over 35,000 miles you can go in which ever direction you like and double back...
Red Roo I did call the centre yesterday for some assistance but because I am not ready to book it was a bit difficult to get the answers I want. Does anyone know how I can find out what AA flights have a business class sector from either NYC or Washington to LAX...everything I look at is either Y or F...is there a schedule list somewhere or are all the flights 2 classes only ?Our Reservations team would be happy to review your proposed itinerary.

For business you need three classes.Red Roo I did call the centre yesterday for some assistance but because I am not ready to book it was a bit difficult to get the answers I want.

These are only on the transcontinental routes and not all of them.
Flightstats can give you a guide: The URL is here: Flight Availability By Route.
Look for F/J/Y fare buckets - all other US domestic routes have either F and Y or just Y.

Transcontinental flights are American Airlines marketed and operated non-stop flights between the following cities:
- Los Angeles / Miami
- New York (JFK)/ San Francisco
- New York (JFK) / Los Angeles

No! (Why fly direct when you can connect? ) e.g. LAX-xDFW-JFK in First is 240 SC's, LAX-JFK in Business is 100 SC's (and First via DFW is often cheaper than Business direct).Serfty excuse the off-topic but have you tried transcontinental 3-class J class on AA?
How does it compare to their domestic "F" ? In terms of food, seat, etc.
Thanks.
