Thanks for all the great advice guys, it's much appreciated!
A final couple of questions before I leave you all in peace -
How many AA miles would it take to upgrade from full economy to business on the Syd to lax ?
I think I'll do the AA platinum challenge as I have Syd-lax-sfo-ord-JFK-lim as the n.american leg of the trip and all on AA flights. By my sums that's around 14k miles which should be enough. As I think I'll be over the 10k by JFK-lim, will I be able to take advantage of the new platinum status at that point?
Thanks again
