Using points on other airlines

[lovetravellingoz]

And if you are just short of the points you need as you sai that you were approaching 570K..

• You can buy points from QFF (...not cheap though)

Points for Price = 500 A$20.00 1,000A$40.00 10,500 A$347.50 11,000A$360.00

• And/or you can pay the booiking fee instead of using points...

To see where ONEWORLD fly go to the following

oneworld Online Timetable.

It has ALL the routes of all oneworld airlines.

It is possible to use Jetstar when wanting to use 140,000 points to make a RTW using Oneworld.

SYD-HKT (coughet) is available using Qantas miles so there is no problem using your Qantas miles for this sector. I think the flight number is listed as QF253 on the awards.

Your problem is going to be finding 4 seats on the same flight.

140,000 x 4 = 560,000 plus 2,500 for assist.

AA/BA/QF and surprising AY(Finnair) were available when doing the online searches.

So my idea would be.

Download the oneworld timetable.
See what flights you would like plus any alternatives.
Go to the Qantas online awards and plug in the your flights plus dates, try for 4,3,2,1 passengers.
CX and RJ are the problems, as you can't tell and you would have to call reservations.
Flying around Europe you also have the low cost options of Ryanair and Easyjet; both are happy to take Australian credit cards.
Flying around Asia you have the option of Air Asia.

I have just used 140,000 miles to fly JQ/AY/BA/AA/QF.

140,000 x 4 = 560,000 plus 2,500 for assist.

Wouldn't that be 140,000 x 4 = 560,000 plus 10,000 for assist. Each booking will be charged the 2,500 assisted booking fee. So will require a total of 570,000 points.
