You'd pay a lot less points too if you didn't use EK for DXB-BNE...
Ok Ill look into that.

Did I make a rookie mistake on booking Reward flight Brisbane to Dublin in separate sections with less than 24hrs stopover in HK or not?
Resulting in MORE points than required being used?
I booked Brisbane HK on Qantas Economy rewards(1\2 price deal) and paid AU tax.
Then I booked HK to Dublin on Cathay Business via Qantas rewards and paid less taxes(Hk dollars).
I thought I did a dummy multi-sector booking and total Taxes were more because all taxes were in AU dollars?
I just remember that a reward ticket with less than 24hrs stopover can be less "points or taxes" than booked separately?
Please confirm
I've changed JFK-LHR on BA to LGA-ORD-LHR with AA. Refund amount was $483.84 each. Total taxes for the trip ended up at $695.41, which I am beyond happy with. Might have taken countless hours of research and time on the phone but you get bloody good value out of your points for it!
here is my question: is availability from QF really this bad compared to other OW partners? As an QF WP, what is my chance to request 2 award J ticket directly to Santiago or Johanesburg (happy to plan as far ahead as necessary)? TIA.
Hi all,
I am trying to book 2 x 280000 QFF RTW tickets. Starting point = Sydney. Preferred destinations are Johannesburg, Santiago de Chile, North America, Europe, and HongKong. Very flexible with date, but I just could not get any sensible flights to either Johannesburg or Santiago in J. I would have to fly with EK (thus won't get the OW RTW rate) or crisscross between Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, then Santiago. Once I get out of Australia, there are good availability from other OW partners.

Around Oct/Nov 2018. I tried Syd-JNB, there are absolutely no award J on QF63, plenty of J with EK though!When are you hoping to travel?

Not if i check on QF website for SYD-JNB. when i try to force the flight through Doha (via the multicity tool), it pops up but via Bali and thus there will be significant time penalty!Have you looked at QR for SYD - JNB?

Congrat Mumanddad! I will try to replicate your success. This is not easy, no free lunch of course. Considering the amount of time we put into the research for this, it is less of a bargain. I think about this as a hobby so it is fine though.
