Hello everyone

Chanced upon this website while searching for tricks and tips for using frequent flyer points. I've been feeling quite frustrated that I cannot find any award seats for return flight from London for a family of 4 for next January. And I thought I started planning early! Well, I have a lot of reading to do from this website. But first, I have to learn this AFF abbreviations .

Cheers

Another welcome from me Arlene_i, were you after 4 award seats in whY (economy) or J (business)?

I have not looked but would think you should be able to find 4 seats in whY ok - a bit harder in J and may need some imaginative routing?

Do you have any FF status with an airline ? (Silver, gold, platinum etc)

Welcome to AFF arlene_i .

Which airline are you trying to find the 4 seats on?

Greetings Arlene_i, hope you find what you're looking for.

I actually found the return flight home for 4 people that I was waiting for! The last piece to the puzzle. Was able to book London-Singapore-Sydney flying British Airways economy class on the last return date that I was considering (or I would have completely abandoned the holiday plan). I was waiting at Qantas website at the right date and time. After a few tries, the awards seats appeared. I'm really pleased!

Never flown British Airways before. Hope the service is ok.

Never flown British Airways before. Hope the service is ok.

Haven't flown BA for a few years but the service was always friendly in my experience.
