Well actually it's AA that charges for the separate leg as they still haven't worked out that the Middle East is a perfectly valid transit point between South Pacific and Europe...therefore they treat it as 2 awards. Still, EY J is a great product and the difference is not that much in dollar terms so all good!
I have had a look on youtube to see what its like.. looks very good
..and i get to check out the biz class lounge in Abu Dhabi.. as it was a choice between long wait there or long wait in KL .. and i dont rate the Golden Lounge in KL

Seriously though, I do wish we could have found flights to take us to Van so we could have done the Okenagan. Next time. Oh, and keep my job open SP.

How exciting! I can try out my "coffee, tea or me?" line. Hopefully I'll get to work the Business or First sections of the plane so I'm not propositioning the cattle class patrons.

Hi
My partner and baby are off to the UK for a few weeks in July/August, from Melbourne.
Is this deal dead or still available?

Just burnt most of my remaining AA miles today ahead of Wednesday's devaluation. 2 x Qantas First MEL-LHR later this year. The plan had been Etihad A380 apartments but availability which was OK dried up as the devaluation got closer.

Effectively dead, meaning too expensive now with program changes and the AUD. Only hope is LifeMiles running more +130-150% promos like they did last year...but they always seem a bit risky. The website came good for a while there but now most things are not showing up again and need to be manually booked via email with their support people...fine if there are no issues!

Does this mean its back on or is this a similar programme?
Low-cost Qantas business, first class buying US frequent flyer miles - Australian Business Traveller
EDIT: It looks good but your AA account needs to be over 30 days old to buy miles and the current promo ends in less than 30 days...

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
I've decided to do an extra trip back to the UK for my Mum's 80th shindig. Hoping to leave SYD on 15, 16 or (last resort) 17 May to fly to LHR, then back on 23 or 24 May. I've been using KVS Tool but getting a bit mixed up whether I sign on using my QF credentials or my BA ones - they give different results. I can't seem to make a good flight connection time. Is there an hours limit for connection times or can anyone suggest a good flight plan that I have missed?
