Miles are bought online (you can log in with your old US Airways number or your new AA number), if you want the AU reservations number it is 02 9101 1948

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

Booking done! You were right BC, they treated DOH as one award so total spend of 170,000 miles plus $480. So, so happy. If I knew who you were I would hug you.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!

Thanks so much BC. The flights I've found are via KL flying with Malaysian and BA (only one sector being BA). So I presume that makes it OK for a single award then?
I didn't realise you could book...

Re: Would you live next to a family day care?

There's a maximum of only 4 or 5 children (not what sure what the current allowed number is), - so not really different to a large family, and hopefully because they are being handled by a childcare...

Re: Sydney Cost of Living and Advice Please

Just the supply / sewerage charge is included in rent. Your metered use is not.
You also have to put down a bond (deposit).

Koolcat - if you go back to page 106 of this thread there is a bit of discussion and reported experience about booking babies and ticketing prices for them, might be helpful.
