I'm doing the same KarenD but for a different date. I can get Montreal to Doha but nothing into Oz. I did some sums this morning and frankly if we have to pay for two J seats from DOH to Syd, or Canberra where we live, it would be cheaper to buy the circle return ticket and keep the points. I get prices for both of us around $14,000 for the trip Canberra, Oslo and then Montreal to Canberra, whereas the quote for the two J tickets from DOH to Canberra is around $12,000. When you add the Qantas charges the overall cost is the same and with QFF award booking I drop 462,000 points! I know we are fortunate to be able to pay for such tickets but the Qantas system certainly doesn't make it easy, especially for two one way flights. I also know we could do better paying for flights out of Asia or perhaps with more stops, however for age and health reasons we don't want to do that. Keep your fingers crossed for us and I'll do the same for you
