round the world

Hi, I would like to know how the points work if you want to upgrade for and Around the World flight? Do you pay for an economy seat, then use points to upgrade? Can anyone let me know how many points would be needed. Thanks

Hi, complex situation here. Qantas gold. LTS. I will finish my contract in end April 2019 in Qatar. I want to spend 2 months in africa, (qatar to africa flight paid for by company). Then return to qatar to collect my diving kit i've left with a friend. Then, onto europe for a couple of...

As recently discussed here: RTW Oneworld fare $6.90 per SC This J fare is now back Sale ends: 16/03 Originating cities: BNE/MEL/SYD/CBR/ADL/CNS/HBA are roughly the same price (common rated). PER/DRW/OOL are a little more. Stopovers: 2 stopovers in each direction + the destination itself for...

I am saving Qantas FF points in hopes of a first class RTW trip with my son in a few years. I understand probably swapping my Qantas points to Cathy Pacific may get me RTW for less points. The only reason I’ve gone with Qantas is my business eftpos system gets me points. Is it right I...

RTW Oneworld fare $6.90 per SC Ok folks Im going to learn the dark arts of xONEx RTW fares. Im a complete novice at this. Where should I start?

Have been doing a fair bit of exploring Asia Miles program - I've got to move some Amex points from warehouse (want to re-start 18month waiting period), and thinking given my exposure to Star Alliance already via SQ & United Miles, AM seems a decent program to get most value out of Oneworld...

Friend found a fare for June 2018 One world RTW in J SYD-YVR-HEL-BCN-HEL-BKK-SYD $6200 AUD 900SC

I'll soon have 190,000 Asia Miles & 280,000 Qantas Points. Seems the best use of AMEX points (300,000 @ 75%) would be to convert to Asia Miles, and then try and find availability for identical RTW fares, one for myself & one for my partner. Will be challenging, yes! However flexible with dates...

This will be my first trip report and first RTW trip, so would appreciate any suggestions on how to write a good trip report, the first part of the trip will begin in February and the second part of the trip will conclude at September next year, so it's going to be a while. In terms of...

Hello, Am wanting to share my recent experience of redeeming a *A Round the World award using KrisFlyer points in case anyone is about to do the same. My adventure starts in July for just shy of 3 months: MEL-SIN-HKG (SQ), HKG-NRT (NH), NRT-LAX (SQ), JFK-FRA (SQ), FRA-BKK (TG), BKK-SIN-MEL...

Long time lurker, but still relative noob, and not a very frequent flyer. But, I've done a lot of reading and I'm hoping I'm heading in the right direction. I am currently hoarding points so that hopefully in a couple of years I can cash them in for 2 J RTW *A tickets via Singapore Airlines. I...

Can anyone get the page "Plan and Book now!" on the mid-left of this page: oneworld - Around the World Tickets - Trip Around the World to load/open? For the past 2 days I just see it greyed out and a spinning wheel.

Hi, I am looking to buy 2 business class rtw fares later next year and am looking for the best deal. I came across an online advert for a cheap economy class Etihad rtw out of australia - business class not on offer. I could not find anything on the airlines website . Is anyone aware a such an...

Hi there, Finally the time has come! I have enough points to go around the world business class! All those tips from AFF, credit card applications, making purchases for the sake of bonus points and linking everything I possibly can to gain QFF points will soon pay off! I'm just after some...

This trip has already come and gone unfortunately :( I considered doing it live, but felt it would've been too hard and I wanted to try and disconnect myself from the interwebs as much as possible. All the planning for this trip started around early last year after learning a bit more about the...

RTW trip, using only commercially scheduled flights and returning to departure point in under 50 hours 45 minutes (subsonic record is 53 hours 14 minutes). Trip to be more then 22,750 miles.

QF are beginning to annoy me. My earning page contains a note that points and SC's were not earned on the PRG- LHR leg of my current DONE4 because of "ineligible booking class". Since the booking was made with QF, how is this possible?

Hey guys, I spent a couple of days in Rio and Buenos Aires each, and on my way to JNB I got deplaned for lack of yellow fever vaccine certificate. I indeed never took it, big oversight on my side. I’m thinking of trying to get to JNB or directly to my next destination (MLE) via Europe since...

Is there a Velocity RTW award or one similar to the QF OW award (J 280k)?

In a couple of weeks I'm giving a talk at a conference about flying around the world. I want to create a route map for an upcoming oneworld explorer. Can anyone point me at an app I can use to illustrate the route I want to take. In the ideal world I would love to be able to create some kind...
