    Most cost effective way to get to Europe on points (3 x J tickets) in 6M

    Open question which I'm sure has a few ways in (and apologies if this is a similar thread elsewhere on here but I couldn't find). I am coming from a standing start - ie little to no points across any of the major carriers/platforms. I have utilized all my QFF points over the past 12 months to...

    QR909 Lounge Access in Syd

    Sorry, I did mean SYD to DOH - doesn't look like QF25 flies on Tuesday when we are flying out, so hopefully as per the msg above it will still be open for code shares (EK)

    QR909 Lounge Access in Syd

    I am flying QR909 from Doha to Sydney next Tues which departs at 22.00pm...The last Qantas flights seem to be around 19.30pm to NZ, but they code share with Emirates flight (EK413 / QF8413) which leaves at 21.45pm...will they keep the Sydney first class lounge open for this flight, or shut once...

    Two distinct tickets vs one multi-city

    As luck would have it...two Qsuite tickets appeared tonight - Milan to Sydney (via Melb), but was able to (eventually) get a helpful Australian call centre who could make the changes for me. Crisis averted! Thanks all

    Two distinct tickets vs one multi-city

    Thanks for the replies...all largely consistent with my thought process, but good to know I'm not off track. I will call Qatar, but also have a fear I'm relying on someone's advice from the call-centre which may mean very little once we are in Doha or checking-in, in Milan... May have to...

    Two distinct tickets vs one multi-city

    Final question looping back to this topic. Thanks for all the advice thus far. I have booked Milan-Doha; then Doha-Sydney on two distinct award tickets with Qatar (with a ~3 hour wait in Doha). If at check-in in Milan they are unable to link my ticket or check my bags all the way through for...

    Two distinct tickets vs one multi-city

    Thanks for this, super helpful... And what if I wanted to just book say the Doha-Sydney leg, could I then add Milan-Doha later (and have as one ticket, so that I am protected if I missed connection etc)? I have been stung before when trying to change a Reward ticket by this 'linked' segments...

    Two distinct tickets vs one multi-city

    I’m sure I’m getting the terminology wrong here, and tried to search but to no avail. If I book two ‘distinct’ QFF classic rewards ie Milan – Doha as one transaction; then Doha – Sydney as another (such that I get two emails/confirmations from Qantas), can they process my whole flight in one go...

    Multiple bookings on same date for different destinations?

    Thanks all, have landed in the same place around not touching it...touch much risk to lose SYD-DOH leg in Business!

    Multiple bookings on same date for different destinations?

    This has taken another twist... Currently have Syd-Doha (Business) and Doha - Rome (Economy) booked as one ticket. I have tried to change the Doha - Rome (Economy) leg to Doha - Milan (Business) however two separate Qantas agents have told me this is not possible. The reasoning is that the...

    Multiple bookings on same date for different destinations?

    Did a quick search but was unable to find. I was (somehow) able to snare 2 seats from Syd to Doha in Business on Qatar last night for mid October this year. My ultimate destination is Italy (ideally Rome) - and I have booked 2 seats in Economy (all that was available) from Doha to Rome -...

    a bit urgent: keeping platinum another year

    Tagging on the back of this question - do you actually physically have to board the plane? Or can you book the cheapest flight you can find, and just not show up... Just trying to clarify this "book, pay and have the ticket issued" concept.

    Pooling with spouse

    Hi all, I've searched high and low and can't seem to find the answer to this question My wife and I are looking to visit Singapore in August. We have managed to book two business seats Syd-Sing via BA on points QFF (given no availability on Qantas). For our return leg, we were looking to use...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    If I am able to book the Qatar Air flight from BA to Sao Paulo as a transit leg, then I believe I would satisfy the three (LATAM, Qantas and Qatar), but like you say, I think I will have to get creative

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    My rough route plan is: SYD-MEL-SCL (Qantas/LATAM) SCL-EZE EZE-GIG GIG-LIM LIM-SCL-SYD The challenge I have is one-way tickets are extremely expensive in South America (~$500-$600pp) with returns often cheaper, but don't want to run that risk of booking a return ticket and only using one leg...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    I’m sure this has been asked before, but have tried searching and couldn’t find a definitive answer, so apologies in advance. But I am looking at flying from Sydney into Santiago then around South America then back to Sydney. LATAM lists a number of affiliates on the oneworld site - LATAM...

    Classic Reward flight availability to Santiago

    In the perfect world I would, but I’m looking to go peak time (Mid dec) and given I am seeing limited availability now, I think I will take the first leg there that I see.. as I’ll have to wait for availability to open up on other legs within Sth America
