Hi all,
I have a heap of questions I have someone can help give some answers to.
Firstly, I'm off to summer school in Vienna in July and planning to travel around a few cities in Europe after. I've never flown on the A380 before and would like to take this opportunity. I've looked into Y class offerings from SQ, QF, EK (emirates) and LH (lufthansa). Are there any others to consider? How does LH's A380 service compare to the others? It is the cheapest and first pick cost-wise. If status credits and costs weren't an issue, SQ might be my second pick cost-wise as the A380 lands in Frankfurt (closer to Vienna) and not London Heathrow (QF).
Secondly, I checked and noticed that my SC are about to expire (reassessed) on 30 June 2012. Is this a firm date that QFF holds to? I calculated that I should be able to meet the requirement if I fly PER-SIN-LHR-VIE (LHR-VIE is codeshared with BA) and return via LHR-SIN-PER (need another 175 SC to retain silver), however my travel is planned for 30th June depart and 31 August return. SC's don't get added until the travel is complete right? Will it make any sense then to bother with QF if I'm going to lose my status, or can I speak to QFF about this?
Many thanks for any help in advance.
