It's a minor issue that I am sure will ultimately get sorted, but am going round and round in circles trying to claim missing points and status credit from flights on Qatar MEL-DOH-BER (and return). The MEL-DOH (and return legs) credited automatically just fine but the DOH-BER (and back again)...

My family and I travelled to Japan for the first time in April. We did the fairly standard route for first timers but loved all of it. As others have noted upthread Kyoto and Nara feel very traditional Japanese. I would put in a particular plug for Hakone (also mentioned by others) as a great...

Yes SQ was over $3000, magically coming down now. And some Cathay prices are now similar to Qatar, which they certainly were not even a few days ago. But of course only QR has the Qatar suites which I will now be able to try for the first time for the DOH-MEL leg of the booking.

I can confirm this is happening to me too. On some random searches I can see business classic reward seats but no actual business class. Weird.

Was browsing reward seats for other purposes and noticed something of a unicorn pop up - a QSuite available using classic Qantas reward points. The catch is it's in 3 days time from MEL to DOH. Still, it may be of interest to someone here as an opportunity to experience a QSuite for a mere...

Yes. But that's for business class in the Q-Suites product. My personal opinion is that is an exceptional price. The nearest other business class flight out of JNB is Singapore Airlines for around $3500 (one way) and Emirates would set you back $4500 (one way)

Today I noticed (and booked) some exceptionally well priced flights from JNB to MEL (via DOH) with Qatar for late January 2024. The cheaper business class flights were the equivalent of around $2700 AUD per person. Although I haven't delved into the exact applicable dates or destinations, I did...

Sadly I did not see those. Was that in the March release? I am sure I was looking at that time but must have missed them.

Thanks I have an account with seats.aero and have an alert. But at some point will need to decide to whether to actually book something and was looking to get a feel for generally availability in prior years.

Thanks. Yes watching for the EK flight too, but as you say nothing at present either. 1693294000 Would really rather not if possible. Have had nothing but poor experiences recently with JQ (cancellations etc). Probably prefer to stump up cash.

That's what I figured. Certainly won't be holding my breath. Sadly not flexible with dates for exactly that reason ie. school holidays. Perhaps Qantas will have a sale and I can at least get seats at a better price than currently.

Does anyone have any experience successfully booking J class reward seats with Qantas points on either QF36 or QF38 in January in previous years? I have been watching for many months looking for availability in Jan 2024 without even a single seat popping up. Is this perhaps usual for this time...

I'd just like to add that the OP didn't specify that they definitely want Europe and/or the US in their itinerary (unless I missed it!) and the Classic RTW fare doesn't actually specify that you must go "around the world". As long as you stay under mileage, segment and stopover limits you can go...

Hi Marce. I am no expert but as others have noted above it can be really challenging to book classic award flights on Oneworld partners for even 2 travellers, never mind more. I can share a little of my recent experience. We had saved over a million Qantas points with the intention of using them...
