redeem points

I just called Etihad Guest to try to redeem some of my miles for a one-way flight on Asiana. There was availability, which the agent confirmed, but they couldn't then provide a quote of the miles or taxes. The agent then put me on hold for a while, and eventually informed me that it's not...

Hey All, Recently started redeeming QFF points for the first time, I am planning my trip to Asia next Jan-Feb, as I have family in Malaysia. I redeemed MEL-KUL MAS business class. For the return, only BA had Premium Econ SIN-SYD, whereas all partner airlines only had economy. I went ahead and...

My situation is that last June had booked a redemption booking in J from Brisbane to New Delhi on 16 May 2024 for myself and wife. We had booked a Silver Seas cruise that was departing Mumbai on 23 May 2024 to Athens. Silver Seas only cancelled the cruise last Thursday (frustrating as other...

I noticed that in the Asiamiles Redemption Group section, there is a place to enter "Affiliated Member". Does anyone know what it is?

I would like to redeem some Qatar Avios for 2 friends not travelling with me, is it possible if they are not family ? If yes , how to do it ?

Need to fly from Canada to AMS or CDG. Flights available are Air France or KLM but using QF points to book this cost me an arm, leg and a few fingers on tax charged. What other reward program can I use with a lower tax? Example - booking through QF YYZ to CDG cost around $1110AUD on Air...

I noticed that the Velocity website states that Premium Economy reward seats are available to book on Air Canada: However, I have never actually seen one available. Even when Premium Economy awards are available to book through Aeroplan at the lowest points level, Velocity (and all other Air...

I booked a reward flight on AA via British Airways EC, ORD-PUJ last weekend. It went through smoothly and I got the e-ticket confirmation. I've tried to manage the booking on AA to select our seats multiple times, but I just get an error message. I've tried with the booking reference and the...

Looking at SIN/MEL, I noticed that J rewards are 75,000 QF points (vs 68,000 on QF metal). Ok maybe EK (and BA) are more 'expensive'. But what's going on with taxes? QF redemption on EK404 SIN-MEL is 75,000 points + SGD 84.40 whereas EK405 MEL-SIN is 75,000 points + AUD1,217.67 !! Does...

Hi team, might be asking a bit much of airlines and airport staff, but worth asking you all. Snagged a Velocity reward seat on QR in J from Europe to ADL next year. Issue is, I live in MEL (there were no awards available the day I wanted). So, I’ll need to tack on a domestic flight home. I...

For my planned trip next year, the rarest of miracles has happened: Qantas has a classic J redemption available on the day I wish to travel! Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, things never work out perfectly. There is only a redemption available flying out of BNE-LAX rather than my home town of...

Received this email from Virgin Australia Business Flyer: Of course, I just transferred most of the points out of my account last week 🥹

First attempt!!!!! Was seeking Pixel 8 Pro 512Gb for best price..... Telstra had their Telstra Plus points and pay option that BF price started a week early and did not change Black Friday and I don't believe will change for Cyber Monday but ends Monday midnight. Rang Telstra Thursday and...

Looks like Qatar Airways and JetBlue launched a new partnership earlier this month which includes reciprocal award redemptions. This could be an interesting new option for people with Avios (or Amex points that can be converted to Avios) to book JetBlue flights, especially their trans-Atlantic...

Other than making a dummy reservation, is there an online calculator to compute QF points required to book an international multi-sector route on QF and partner airlines?

Bit of a strange one while doing some flight research. Male (Maldives) > Colombo > Melbourne on Sri Lankan Airlines is 100,000 pts +$247 in Economy or 86,200 points and $341 in Business. Wouldn't be a difficult decision if I was in a position to make a firm booking right now!

So I've just booked a flight on BA (with QFF points) in business class (rewards) on which I was able to select seats quite easily (QF Gold / OW Sapphire). Turns out that I had to make another booking for a family member on the same flight, and unfortunately they had no status so wasn't able to...
