Booking a round the world fare on points

[gedt]

The One World website says "Currently, it is not possible to use frequent flyer points to pay for a oneworld Round The World trip". Is this correct? Qantas personnel do not seem to be aware of this.

The OW RTW product *ONE* - *GLOB* is a cash paid product. Cannot be paid for by ff miles/points/avios from any airline freq flyer program.

The individual OW airlines offer award flights on themselves and partners. Rules and cost in ff miles/points/avios and cash vary a lot.

QF offer "OW Classic award". Not advertised as a RTW, but can used for a RTW trip, depending on route. Very different rules compared to the OW RTW cash paid product. Using the correct words is important when talking to agents.

Hi, thanks for the, not so happy, update.

Can someone confirm that, if you manage to book a OW classic reward ticket before the 5th August (for travel after this date), it would still cost the the original number of QFF points?
ie. 132400 for economy, and 318000 for business?

Yes, but if you make changes after the new rates come into play, it will likely cause the "fare" to be recalculated at the new rate with additional points and any adjustment in taxes/charges to be to paid.
