Well that didn't last long

There is an article on this here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/case-study-redeem-points/

Here is the table https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/partner-airline-earning-tables.html?int_cam=au%3Aairline-earning-tables%3Aarticle%3Apartner-airline-earning-tables%3Aen%3Ann I am showing 0 SC for partners to DXB from Oz & from South East Europe...

LONE4 (in AUD) today from NZ $3,980 Oz $4,069 Sing $6,175 Japan $3,714 So it looks like you want to avoid Singapore, the rest are all in the same ballpark of $4K Data from Expert Flyer

Thanks, is it the “same day” or “within 24 hours”? It it is the “same day” then that is a problem with BLR as the flight in arrives at 23:40

Yes, but only by 1k and Japan is just down the road from us. Which I am relying on so this is a DONE4 rather than 5 The DONE4 starts and finished in Tokyo (HND) I live in Sydney, so use a FF ticket to position to Tokyo to start with, then kick off the RTW from HND. I then have the final...

Question: you are allowed 2 'stopovers' in the continent of origin. Does the time between the flight arriving back in your 'continent of origin' and the 1st sector in it (in the above example, HK) count?

Have read the rules and had a good play around with a combo of "Flight Connections", "Expert Flyer", the QANTAS Status Calculator and the xONEx rules. My objective was to go to some interesting places and try out as many business class long haul cabins as I can in a DONE4 for Aug-Oct next year...

Thanks for that. I played with google then took the plunge and signed up for a year of flightconnection at $35 USD The attraction of the flight connection Pro for me was it - showed distance for each flight, - you could limit to Oneworld - you can also limit by aircraft type (if you are...

Probably our fault they pulled it floss

Thanks for this, very illuminating. What tool/map did you use to work out the possible routes? I see 'flightconnections.com' offers a (paid) ability to restrict routes by alliance, but is there another option?

Glad I got in before this. Got the discount on Syd -> Singapore -> Bangkok -> Sydney earlier this month

Reader of this thread might find this other thread interesting https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/my-done4-oneworld-rtw-booking-experience.111025/ @skylabsea does seem to have done their homework

For someone based in Oz, is there are program that is clearly superior to QANTAS to credit the status / FF points to? Given that a oneworld RTW can be a status bonanza? I had just assumed QANTAS, but seeing the award availability via (for example) AA or BA websites where these tickets don't...

A little off topic for the Titanium card, but I did ring ANZ about the 3rd year fee for the Black QANTAS card and they waived the fee (but not the FF membership charge), so $375 back I think and I get the better insurance for another year. Really odd the ANZ card has less hoops to jump through...

The most recent agent I talked to seemed quite experienced, and said he had never seen the software approve a Business or First class release on QF1 or 2. Manual review, yes (P1 only) but the software, no. I was asking for QF2 in A, Singapore to Sydney. Have not gone back far enough in this...

Found the answer to this question at least (with regards to Qatar Airlines) https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qatar-awards-vanish-qantas-website/ and https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/when-qatar-airways-releases-seats-qantas-points-bookings/ and so "One World" is not quite...

Sure, but you don't normally get status from Reward flights so I am presuming @elanshin was eligible for status on these flights in the 1st place due to Points Club status.

Thanks So getting credit on a QANTAS metal reward ticket presumably via points club status ?

Excuse this newbie's ignorance, but what are ORC and DSC? I have checked the abbreviations page Abbreviations & Explanations and can't find either of them From the context I am guessing DSC is "Double Status Credits", but ORC still eludes me. Thanks
