I am wanting to book a round the world trip using Qantas/One World in 2026. At the moment I can only book till March. Just wondering if anyone has some advice that if you book as far as you can go say, Asia, Europe, US but plan to add on up maybe June, should I wait to June or do I book as far as I can and add on later and still stay within the 365,800 points. I am not sure if that makes sense but hope someone can advise.

Like many things there are pros and cons with the options. Booking what you can now gets the seats locked in, whereas waiting till June may see the seats you could book now give to somebody else.

Trying to add more flights to an existing booking means getting hold of a call centre person who has the know how to do it, provided there is availability. This could be on your first call or it could take many.

These are examples of the issues weigh up.
