Hi everyone,
I'm planning on going on a fairly long trip from November to February. The plan is to go to Europe with a side trip to Hong Kong on the way back. I'll shortly have 130k points and noticed that is the amount you need to book a oneworld award.
I have several questions I'm hoping you can answer (and some suggestions for the trip). I'm based in Melbourne at present.
The conditions seem to say you must use at least two oneworld airlines, can not be more than 35k miles and you are allowed up to 5 free stop overs. I definitely want to go to Rome and Paris (Frankfurt might also be on the compl. list), I've been all the UK so would prefer to aviod in the plan if possible. I'll be working out the other places a little closer but plan to see around 4-5 countries while there (if not more but time is an issue).
I'm happy to catch trains or bus about once inside Europe. Does anyone have a suggestion on a plan to use this ticket to maximise the value and chances of actually getting a flight close to my date preferences (I know MEL-LDN is always a problem). Or has anyone used this ticket before and has anything I should be mindful of?
BTW I'm a platinum member so hopefully booking tickets won't be too hard. Never book and award ticket before and I know I have to do this ticket on the phone so hopefully Q staff will be helpful :roll:
Thanks for any help
