im trying to find a return flight from LHR to AKL F or J class for 2 people between 1 feb to 1 march for 4 weeks. all i see on the BA site is only 1 reward seat is this true or do i ignore this while searching?

Just did my first OneWorld DM booking.

MEL - New York (EWR)
LAX - MEL

All on Cathay business class (my favourite!) and via HKG both directions.

110k miles + $122 taxes pp.

Super easy call...about 15 minutes. Availability matched up with what the Qantas and JAL sites were showing.

the seat availability show on the BA site are they true or not as there are a lot of sigle only

It's more than likely accurate...I wouldn't be expecting to see lots of choice / multiple seats available every day. With the BA site I tend to search each sector individually e.g. LHR-HKG, HKG-AKL rather than LHR-AKL as I find it sometimes give incorrect results with the latter.

Hi Bc,

How far ahead are you searching?
In other words, when do you fly?

I'm not stalking you honest.........
Just thinking about availability!

Yes, I'd be interested in how far ahead your booking is for. I didn't buy miles in the recent promo and suspect I'll regret it!

There's another dividend miles bonus running. Not quite as good as previous ones, for example if you buy or gift 80,000 miles you get a 50,000 miles bonus.

Deleted, pretty much a copy of spouse of scouse's post.

Well having finally beaten KVS into submission if not mastered it I have just made our first Oneworld booking:
PER - HKG - LAX-YVR stopover then - JFK. returning JFK - HKG - PER.
Easiest phone call ever to U.S. barely 20 mins. 110k miles $1900 p.p. taxes.
Well pleased

Hold on...you paid $1900pp in taxes??

ooops! My bad. I would not have been pleased with that. Only $190 of course.

Have not flown CX before so looking forward to that particularly as you rate them so highly BC.

That sounds better!

Love CX...great seat, vastly more comfortable than SQ's benches! Which is great, because those trans Pacific sectors are LOOOOOOOONG! I think my HKG-EWR flight is 16 hrs!

What are they like for economy? I'm really not able to find anything for when I need to go so may have to bite the bullet and just fly with the ordinary folk in the back.

Also, if I do book economy with CX can I upgrade using my Dividend miles?

I've looked again for you recently but still coming up with nothing.

No, no upgrades using miles.

In economy I would probably default to the best combination of simplest / quickest / cheapest for your trip...I guess that means EK or CX for you, but prices look steep!
