QFF FLIGHT SEARCH ASSISTANCE

[Nikjoe]

Hi Everyone,

So relieved to have found this amazing forum. Truly appreciate all who offer advice here.

Ok so I have a family of 4 (2 adult, 1 x 10yo, 1 x infant).
Looking to travel J class 2020 anytime between July-September for 3-4 weeks
No worries about where we fly into in europe, I’ve looked at Athens, Zurich ($$$!), etc previously so happy to train or fly to other cities after we land. Keeping in mind we have an infant

QFF Platinum
700k points, hoping not to have to top Up too much of don’t need to.

Truly want flat bed flights, which will help with having an infant on flight. Flown Qantas, Qatar and Emirates J before and happy with all 3... Emirates last option, but happy to fly other reputable airlines if need be.

1. When is best to start looking?
2. If anyone can help me find flights I’d truly truly appreciate it
3. Ready to book ASAP if have to secure seats.... I know 3xJ is harder to find than 1!

Thanking you so much (in advance) if anyone can help

1. It will be extremely difficult, albeit not impossible, to get 3 J class tickets to Europe in July-September (high season) on the same flight. You may need to consider flying separately with 1 child each.

2. I suggest you have a look at the Qantas points calculator. 3 J class return tickets on Qantas MEL-LHR (for example) is 768,000 points. It will be even more on partner airlines.

Thanks, yep we found tickets in May for all of us but plans changed so had to postpone trip. Might look out for September October instead

Keep in mind that if you book after 18 September, you will pay considerably more points.

Might be worth paying for Award Flight Assist. They are an excellent service and take all the hard work out of looking for these award tickets. I have used them before. Award Flight Assist - Frequent Flyer Solutions

If you have not made contact yet - It is worth the expense (which is not expensive!), They give you a variety of options and talk you through it - all you do at the end is book the option you prefer.
