With no increase in taxes I hope?
Identical taxes! I figure they must have waived a portion. Total taxes are $845pp which I'm pretty ok with.

Another update on this... Qantas called to say they had made some mistakes with the booking and taxes and would need to refund me and then charge me the correct amount. I said that's fine, I can handle that.
A couple of hours later I received another phone call saying they had lost our Qatar flight from Zurich to Perth. Pretty devastated because it means we lose the top deck of the A380 and the bar. They have instead offered us BA from Zurich to London, and to open up seats on QF10 from London to Perth for us. I just received an e-mail saying it has been ticketed so hopefully this is all sorted now.
Was that because Qantas was too slow to ticket the booking?

More than likely. It was booked Thursday afternoon and still not ticketed Saturday morning. Their explanation was they had to give up and immediately rebook my seats to refund the overcharged taxes and that Qatar immediately took them back and wouldn't release them again.
There’s a fair bit to your question those with more experience can comment on.Hi,
I will be doing a fair bit of travel over the next 2 years - including 3 RTWs in business.
I want to decide which global airline alliance to fly with.
I am 1K with United ( Star ) and am happy apart from not being able to fly to the USA non stop out of Brisbane. The advantages of being an Star Elite are substantial even though I would not count UA up there with the world's greatest onboard soft product .
I could easily do the flights on Oneworld and, from my calculations , end up with at least Gold Status for at least 2 years.
My question relates to business class award seat access - pretty bad for my base QFF level at the moment.
I have accumulated a lot of points and find it difficult to use them for my wife unless we are very flexible with dates and itineraries and never expect to get a business award from Australia-LAX aorvv.
So, your advice please , do Gold QFFliers get a noticeably improved access to business award seating ?
Also, just checking, do I need to book my final segment before I start the first flight of the booking, and I can't make any changes after that?
Computer says No!Can someone update me - can Aer Lingus be used for OW award flights?
Hi all
Quick question, I think I can but I would like to be sure so I only pay one change fee if I get resistance from an agent.
Subject to the obvious rules, 35k miles, 5 stopovers, 15 segments etc.
Can I go on a trip and come back to Australia, then tack on another little trip to Asia to get to the 35k miles?
For example:
MEL-LAX(stop)JFK-(stop)HKG(stop)-SYD
(Seperate paid fare home to Mel)
6 month break
SYD-BKK-SYD-MEL
Does the last trip have to be within a certain amount of time of first flight or when the booking was first ticketed?
Thanks

No; you can't return to your city, OR COUNTRY, of origin; if you do the ticket ends. But you could get a cheap return from somewhere nearby, e.g., HKG, SIN, DPS, AKL, etc.
The full itinerary has to be booked before you take your first flight so effectively your last trip/flight has to be within about 11 months (depending on which airline you are on as they open seats at various times, at listed in the Wiki). And you need to be able to find seats.
As I understand it, once you take your first flight, you can change the date/time of some of the legs but not the route; but I have never tried to do this.

No need to get a return fare to overseas starting country, just a oneway fare or award redemption to the start country. But the notional miles to return to the start are calculated & included from your final destination.
You'll need to have 140k (Y) or 280k (J) Qantas points to benefit from the style of booking in this thread, I'm not sure if AA have a similar offer.Dear All,
I have just joined this thread and wondered if you can advise where is the best place to look for a one world redemption for around the world, is it on the Qantas site? I am looking to try and go to LHR, then on to somewhere in Scandinavia to view the northern lights, over to USA for a ski, touch base in somewhere warm on the way home ?Hawaii then back to Sydney. Can anyone suggest where the best place is to look for this airfare? I have more AA than QF points. Thanks for any suggestions. Kind regards, Anna
