Hmmmmm..... perhaps I rethink my layover time..... really not into the moscow vibe... Thanks!

Nothing to see there?

Thank you for that - I keep learning more things on this forum all the time.... and I've already used up all my stopovers!! Hoping to a 24hr transit through on the way to LHR - never been to Helsinki and 24 hrs is better than nothing!!

I have booked all my OWA's this way primarily because I wanted to get the full ticket priced and the points paid up front. When I booked my first trip, I was not confident that I could get the rest of the trip added on and it would convert to a points capped OWA. My experience with Qantas...

Just an update on my previous post questions - I've booked an OWA in (mostly) business class and had ticketed the following: 17 Aug '25 SYD-LAX: QF11 - Stopover 1. As Plat FF, requested 2 bus. class seats released - success. Booking AA separately LAX-LAS, then LAS-JFK, and...

I was hoping there was some way to upgrade that flight - I guess I'll have to cross fingers I can find business class availability with EF between now and the flight and get it changed. Thanks for that!

I've booked a Oneworld Award itinerary (34,616 miles) all in business class except for one leg - LAX-HND on AA which is in economy. I'm Qantas platinum and my husband has Platinum Pro status with AA - has anyone ever had any experience upgrading with AA points an AA flight originally booked...

I thought I’d share my experience booking my 4th Oneworld Classic flight itinerary this week. We have a son in London and a daughter in New York, thus we travel a lot. We sometimes do a paid RTW in between to rack up points and status and this year thanks to our recent RTW booked through AA...

Thanks very much! I have some more homework to do.... As you advise, I'll avoid late September and early October school holiday dates. Appreciate your time! Cheers

Thanks so much for this - to clarify husband is Platinum Pro with AA so not much help with seeing Qantas availability. His Plat Pro status allows us automatic upgrades on domestic flights within North America and we were planning on doing a bit of travelling around the states (daughter in NY)...

Sorry - should have been clearer.

HND-SFO(or LAX)-SYD-HKG-HEL-LHR-SIN-HND - circle mapper comes in at 33,231? Positioning flight to and from HND. Looking at HEL with Finnair as advised by elanshin above as availability is better? And we've never been there so why not!! The Oneworld Classic Award itineraries only allow 5...

Given the devaluation of QF points in August, and the fact that I lose my QF platinum status in October, I've been looking at booking a oneworld classic itinerary in business class for myself and my husband. I had hoped to take a positioning flight to Tokyo, fly to the US west coast (YVR, SFO...

Thanks for that. That explains my problem.. I'll have to try and get creative I guess...

As usual, I'm looking for input from more knowledgeable minds than mine. Apologies in advance for my longwinded plea for assistance. I'm currently trying to do a trial run with dummy dates for a OWA Econ itinerary on the Qantas multi city tool to get a ballpark costing for my twin sister (who...

I had no idea members with status could do this!! Thanks so much for drawing my attention to it - I'll have to give it a go! I think It's too late for the trip to see the next grandchild in March but it might make a 2025 family Christmas in the UK possible!! I'll have status through to...

Qantas Gold

I'm currently gold. We'll finish our 70,000 mile Done5 in October and thus gain platinum. I'm getting more and more disillusioned with the qantas program. I wanted status next year because I thought imight see more award availability and it might make it easier to get hold of qantas staff who...

Thank you - I should have seen that in the previous thread. I'm having the same problem as RedSMS - it seems that since Qantas introduced the ClassicPlus awards, there is next to no availability for Classic Business Class seats on any major route. I've given up on trying to put together a...

Hoping more experienced minds than mine can advise me here - I've done a couple of Business class Oneworld Classic Flight Reward itineraries for my husband and I over the past few years and am under the gun to plan another starting March 2025 as there will be another new grandchild arriving. We...
