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

I agree that the BA 747 first is not the best (no better than business on Qatar's 787, for example), but the business class BA 747 seats are really quite narrow and the window passengers have to...

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

I decided not to bother phoning. Instead I made a claim in writing with BA for GBP 883 within 7 days under EU 261/2004. The miles plus the taxes, fees, etc came to GBP 2356, so I asked for 75% of one...

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

Thanks for reminding me of the EU rules. They say I can get a refund of 75% of the price of the ticket (according to Wikipedia). But what is the price of an award ticket? And how is the price divided...

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

I had a problem with the trip I booked using Dividend Miles. The last leg of my journey was in BA first class, but they bumped me down to business.

I'd appreciate it if anyone on this thread could...

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

Final Update? Perhaps not....the "connecting" flight that US Air booked for my Perth-Doha-London trip is actually the next day, i.e. 35 hours after I arrive in Doha!

They didn't tell me...

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

Final update on my LON-PER-LON trip. Finally I got the flight with Malaysian on 3rd Oct! It has been showing up on my KVS searches for about a month, but now I got to confirm it (in business class)....

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

Thanks for the advice.

My feeling was that the agent was helpful. During the same phone call, she found me flights to get to Buenos Aires which did not show up using KVSTool. It took nearly an...

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

No, even the MH flights that show up (these are the only flights that I can see) are not confirmed by MH when US Airways tries to book them.

In October there is nothing else, not even in economy....

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

I suggest reading past posts on this thread, As you may have seen, I am finding no availability with OneWorld (using US Airways Dividend Miles) in the September/October timeframe.

Others have...

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

I got one trip booked, from LHR to Buenos Aires return. Strange thing is that the flights I booked show as not available on KVS Tool ,whether using the OneWorld or BA-OneWorld methods. And some...

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

So it seems that only the BA/OneWorld method shows MH availability, but not what is actually available (at least from US Airways). It may be time to give up and just buy a ticket. I'm getting nowhere.

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

OK, I changed to simply "OneWorld" with a Qantas login.

I get:
LHR-> PER whole October - nothing in Y,C or F
LHR-> KUL - ditto
LHR-> HKG - ditto
LHR -> DOH - ditto

I'm inclined to agree...

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

Thanks, I'll try that.

EDIT: The JL/OneWorld method seems only to show availability for CX, BA, AA or AF.

That means it misses several of the major carriers between LHR and PER such as QR and...

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

And the saga continues.....the 3rd October flight from LHR to PER via KUL came back into play, so I tried to book it. The agent could not find it on her screen, even when breaking it down into its...

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

Just for information, I phoned US Airways today to book a return flight LHR -> PER -> LHR. As bcworld pointed out, the round-the-world fares have disappeared, so I am having to back track across the...

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

Thanks for the reply. If the numbers on the chart are return fares and *if* a one-way fare can be booked for 1/2 of that, then I should have enough miles anyway. I only need to visit Raleigh in NC...

Hi, I've been lurking on this thread since December 2013, as I was intending to make a big trip when I finished my degree in May this year. I therefore took advantage of various US Air Dividend Miles...

Thanks for all the tips here, folks. Very useful!

I have my lifemiles and I'm trying to book from Perth to London in October, but I'm getting no availability either in First or business class.
