QF Award bookings to the US the angst!

Good luck on the RTW concept. It is actually extremely difficult to make most desired routes work. But if you spend the gazzilion hours, it can be OK.

At the end of the day the QF redemptions stink. Availability/¨fees¨/ease of use of system, all suck. People on AFF here struggle. I cant imagine how disheartening/imposible it is for Mr Average.

But having Mr/Mrs Average think it is all too hard and thus give up is probably a good thing for the few of us that can to varying degrees get around the system
