re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks Hutch - I went ahead and booked the AY flights through Helsinki - still cost the extra $95 (which really is inconsequential). The airline factor is a big thing and I think HEL-HKG is on the new A350. The flights...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks travelislife, that explains it then - I was trying to avoid the APD and departure tax - did't realise that it wasn't payable :oops:. No, she didn't try to charge the $80 change fee - she called it an increase in...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I just tried to change one of our J return flights on trip to Europe July/August. We are booked CDG-LHR-SIN all with BA and our total taxes etc for all the 280J flights are $1175 pp (total $2350 which is pretty phew!). I...

oops - missed that. But its good that Bruny hits the 'must do' list

We are always good! ;) Can you squeeze one more little trip into your Hobart leg though? Bruny Island - drive to Kettering for the ferry, about 10 k down the road make a quick stop at the Bruny Island Cheese factory for a tasting and supplies then on to Adventure Bay (south eastern side of...

Re: Qantas epiQure's new gourmet food range Some great fine foods there Red Roo - Qantas this time has really picked the cream of the Tassie produce - Bruny Island cheeses and Woodbridge smoked salmon. (and the prices aren't bad) I like this new branch of Epicure, so many thanks. (It...

A lovely thread thank you OP. Shopping AND bags!!! Back to the Baggalinis: I bought this in Canada last year Everywhere Bagg - Designer Crossbody Handbags| baggallini. We were on a cruise and it really suited me for day tours as I could squash in heaps of stuff and two water bottles at each...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thank you from us to all the wise AFFers who have been so generous with their knowledge of the 280K minefield. For me this was a work in progress for a couple of months with some hiccups along the way. I used the QF site...

Mine is just my middle name - the problem with it being that I worry that everyone thinks I am worrying about the cost of it all - which is not necessarily the case...... (And from that people could probably work out that I am a Libran, going around in circles worrying)

I love Mela Purdie for travelling - MP has a fabric called mousseline which is a technical polyester - dries really really quickly - just roll it in a towel basically and shake and hang, doesn't need ironing. All the designs are super comfortable and very elegant for day or night and easy to...

Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Agreed - the captain CSM et al also went around the business lounge updating passengers. They couldn't have been more considerate of all our various woes and worries, and when it eventually left, the flight itself was brilliant - and the...

Thanks Magpie10 for pointing out Pushka's TA - just read the 54 pages and loved every one - so thank you both! Very itchy feet now!

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread AaaH! Thank you - think I'll pass the RJ experience based on your +1's experiences.

The cruising thing is pretty new to us - we started with HAL (Eurodam) a couple of years ago then did a cruise on Oceania (then another) - which we love. Great size ships - either 684 pax on the three smaller ships or 1258 on the two bigger ships, fabulous staff, meals are superb and...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thank you all for your thoughts - still unsure of 'how' I will book it, but you have helped to clear the fuddle, and I'm more confident that I will be able to book suitable flights in two steps if unable to do it all...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I'd be really happy with that but can't find the DOH - SAW leg in business for any date - or is that my problem, I need to keep looking? QR seems to have plenty of economy seats DOW -IST/SAW. I'll have another look...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I would appreciate some of the wisdom of the AFFers. We finally have the points for the two 280J flights to Europe next year (for a cruise) and want to fly into Istanbul late June and out of Lisbon late July. We have...

Thanks for that Russ - I didn't realise. Now I just need to wait for them to update the website so I can change!

I received an email yesterday from Qantas saying that our June 22 flight QF93 (MEL-LAX) has been changed to a 747. "We’ve had to make some changes to your flightWe’re currently undertaking some required maintenance on one of our A380 aircraft. For that reason your upcoming flight on QF93 will...

Loving the photos of the Pike St Market thank you! We are staying a few days at the "Inn At The Market" next month before a cruise and it looks brilliant! Look forward to more
