Hello,
I’ve travelled a bit over the years as a tourist. I’m an elderly citizen now. I have QF frequent flyer points. I’m considering another trip to London, then to Ottawa Canada, over to LA and back home to Melbourne around September. But I don’t want to do the MEL to LHR sector in cattle class as a right thru sector with no stops (fuel stop a given). I know I could stop over at a city in Asia for a few days but that would of course add to the costs of the holiday and the number of days available to me. My questions are. If I book an economy fare with my Travel Agent can they use some of my points to upgrade me to say business for that sector. Or would I have to book on line with QF and during that process use my points, seat availability permitting. I know QF does not fly LHR to Ottawa etc so would that mean I’d have to book the entire trip via the One World website and hence not be able to use cash and points. Finally are there health insurance policies I can take out before booking that would offer a refund if I fell ill before the trip.
Thanks for any feedback
