Hi, I'm not having much luck finding this on the Thai Airways website, so hopefully someone here has some experience of this..... My friend has offered to give me his Thai points, so that I can use them for a long haul upgrade from Econ to Business. He is ROP Platinum. I am Silver. Any idea...

Obviously not that frequently :-( Just under 11,000. Seems like you need 14,000 for lifetime Gold.

Did you mean doing this on the Bangkok run (already booked) Or the trip to Perth?

Thanks for all the ideas Guys. Giving me lots ore options to look at. Dinner in Auckland might be viable :-)

Hi, Whilst I've been a Qantas FF for 20 years I haven't paid much attention to Status. I was always flying fairly often. But this year I haven't flown much and I'm concerned I won't keep my Gold Status. I'll need to rack up 350 SC by the end of January :-( I have to go up to Bangkok, so...

Indeed that's another option. But I think we might just fly Thai on all the sectors....

I spoke to Qantas a couple of times today after trying a few different online booking options. In the end it all seemed too hard. I was trying to come back from UK with a stopover in Bangkok, and use Qantas points to upgrade. It's simply not possible to fly back via Asia on Qantas aircraft...

I actually only 'rediscovered' this forum a couple of days ago...:idea:

OK 'rant' over........... I will crawl back under my rock duly chastised........still muttering......:(..........

I didn't find that doing this trip earlier this year :(

Now that makes me feel a lot better :)

Yes I can. It's the LHR-BKK sector that is the issue as Qantas no longer fly that sector. It's now Emirates via Dubai... LHR-DBX is Qantas. DBX-BKK is Emirates.

I need to stop in BKK on the return. (I live there part of the year) Which when Qantas operated those sectors was great.

Yes I get all that.... Just annoying that Qantas have effectively cut back the service and outsourced it to Emirates :(

Just annoyed that Qantas used to fly these sectors. And since they now do it using Emirates........I can't upgrade. :( Maybe I need to join Emirates and book directly with them in future ?

Am I missing something here? I hope so......... I'm just booking some Qantas flights for next year. Sydney -London Then London - Sydney with stop over in Bangkok. I'm booking economy and plan to upgrade using points. Except..........the return flight is via Dubai and a code share with...

Ah. Maybe that's what I saw then. Very clever!

Thanks for this Steady. Looks like I got the same email. I'd better start reading them!!! :(

Clever bit of script! I installed it today and it worked great on FF. Then.........I noticed that the Qantas site now gives Ticket Class and Status Points during the booking process. Someone must have been reading this forum :)

Thanks Mattg. I'll check out that thread. So basically, there is no longer a way to book a fare using points + pay and still get SCs? If you want SCs, you need to pay cash for the fare, at an appropriate class of ticket that gives SCs?
