Well done that's a great job. Mind sharing which screenshots you used?
Nice! And welcome!! Which month did you book the SQ leg for? Everyone seemed surprised that I got SQ to Perth for mid-Jan as it has always been only available T-14 days in the past. I think us Perthians may be the lucky ones for a change!

I originally made a booking to depart 9/26 about 11 months ago.
Some operating carriers made time changes and cancellations so I took the chance to search some more award space.
I called in and was successful at changing the routing (could not change Origin/destination), carriers and times/dates (received the email from LIFEMILES).... I have called the operating carriers 18 hours after receiving the updated email with all the flights.
2 of the 3 operating carriers are saying the flights are not re issued.
what exactly does this mean?
I am slated to leave on 9/27 should I call now or wait a few days.
I have a weird routing and don't want to risk it being declined.
Booked DPS-BKK-FRA and vv for June 2016 in J on Thai for 2 weddings (conveniently both friends from PER who are getting married in Europe 1 week apart).
Total taxes and BFx2 around 200USD together, forget how many points. Probably 78k each way.

2 x F SYD-xBKK-FRA for next June.143,000 pts plus US $1,474.82
Used the screenshot method. Email sent at 10:41am yesterday, booking confirmation email received at 11:31am today and phone call received about 5 minutes ago.
That went through easier than I thought it was going to.
Was the payment for the 2 passengers or per passenger?

Booked MEL-BKK-SGN in J for next Easter using the email screenshot method.
Emailed yesterday, got call back almost exactly 24 hours later. Missed the call, but called back generic Avianca US number. Call took forever but English speaking agent liaised with Spanish only speaking agent in another department. No dramas...just so many phonetics...'I for Icecream'!
40k + USD101pp. Tickets issued immediately.

Booked 3 business tickets on Wednesday BRU-FRA-HND on LH and NH for travel at the end of this month 75,000 miles each plus total taxes of $240usd.
Seemed to be a lot of award flights opened up for this route as I could've got 5 business tickets on same flights

How did you do the SYD-ICN-ORD with OZ? Isn't that over 8 hours connection time? Did you do in 2 separate awards?
