Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
I'm having trouble finding any flights that are available at all.... to anywhere!
I've been having a read around the programme and from what I've read, if you have to telephone it's HORRIBLE....
To the point that writers have recommended finding availability before buying miles!!
Am I right in assuming that you can only book 345 days in advance of your journey?
Does that mean that you should book your outbound and inbound journeys separately in order to get the offers you want.

So you'll never be able to pull up MEL-BKK-LHR or SYD-BKK-CDG. That doesn't mean it can't be booked...but phoning is not an option. They way to get something like that booked is to email their support function with screenshots of the flights available separately, your LM number, a contact number etc. Believe it or not this actually works. They will create the reservation (on hold for 72 hours) then contact you for payment...not a stress free process but many have done it successfully.
It's been so long that it's hard to imagine the website will ever be fixed properly.

Hi, it was Economy seats I found for that price, just searched bestjet.com
James went last year for $5000 but it seems a lot has changed in 12 months :-(
I guess I count ourselves lucky we went a couple of years ago first class with Thai, doesn't look like that will ever happen again

Been a good while since I've been here, but I'm looking for Biz class seats back to Blighty next year for a wedding.
The American miles seems to have gone tits up, so following on from James' lead, I've joined Life miles.
However, I'm really interested in how Kevin found two business class tickets at $4700 for 2 people as I've the cheapest I can find is that each!!
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, we did Thai, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Thai on our round the world trip last year and it was great. I'm looking at going to Toronto in September if I can get a ticket with AA.

I still have 260000 US Airways / AA miles that expire in 6 months.
Is the best way to get them to renew to just but another 1000 for $30?

I didnt find business class flights for $2300, they were economy!!
Since found flights for around $1700. Looks like the days of business or first are over for us :-(
At least we did first class once and it was really good, didnt want to get off the plane

I have just booked BClass MAN - SYD return flights using our AA miles, that we purchased via US Airways on one of those great 100% extra free deals. Got good flights for march next year with Etihad. No First class available, but I am still delighted with BC. It was a very easy process. So would like to thank BCWorld and others for all the advise given on this thread.
