Hi everyone,
So up until last week, I didn't really understand that all the constraints of booking a J oneworld were basically the same as any other Qantas award flight. I thought with all the Oneworld fleet to call on that these flights were far easier to find
Mrs Nick and myself are intending to try and book one of these awards starting in March 2015 returning back to Australia in June. Our high level agenda is (in my opinion) pretty straightforward in that we want to get from continent to continent but are reasonably flexible about exactly when and where we would land and depart from.
We do want to go to SYD - Sth Africa - Europe - USA (east coast) - Sth America (my son will be living in Bogota at the time) back to SYD. We don't really see any need for additional flights internal flights in both Europe and US, we just want to fly in and fly out and are not really looking to maximise segments/miles etc
Can I and should I book segments as they come up. From playing around now, it looks fairly simple to book SYD - JHB - LHR basically 11 months out but that means the USA/Sth America flights don't come online for another month because of the later travel dates. Waiting until the last flight becomes available compromises my ability to get in particular the SYD - JHB J flight
Can I do this? I'm happy to pay any point fee required in amending the booking which I assume would need to be done over the phone rather than online
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer
