Hi guys,
I have to book a trip to Madrid this morning, and I'm trying to work out the best way.
According to the OneWorld site I have a few options, but most involve either SYD-LHR-MAD or SYD-FRA-MAD.
If anyone's done this trip before can they recommend the better route? Both are within 15mins total time, so that's not a big deal, and the stopovers at both are around 2hrs, so there's no time to get out and explore (I've never been to Paris or London before).
Also, some flights on the OWA site list BA flight numbers, and others list QF flight numbers. I'm assuming the flights from SYD-LHR are in fact all QF?
Finally, do BA flights (some of the options include LHR to MAD on BA) earn similar SCs and points to regular flights? I know the minimum point earn is 500 on BA, but apart from that are they similar? Or would Iberia be a better choice (also LHR to MAD)?
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
