• Already booked on QF points for Brisbane to Paris via Hong Kong in May 2021, just have to wait another 3 months until I can book the return hopefully, but QF points have waived any cancel fees for award bookings if cancelled by 31/10/2020 so hopefully in a few months we will now more about where ...

  • I have had a lot of success booking Emirates J as a multi city trip like EUROPE-DXB-ASIAN CITY-BNE OR SYDNEY on Emirates or Qantas and as long as you have stopovers of less than 24 hours the points are the same as a one stop flight

  • I have been lucky enough to book with Qantas points as multi city itineraries for travel in 2017 and 2018 to Europe and back on Emirates metal in business class but I had to book them as one way multi city to get to Europe and then another back both years but had to book them 11 months or so in a...

  • I had luck booking Emirates business class to and from Europe for May and returning in August as two one way multi city itineraries OOL-SYD-BKK & BKK-DXB-CDG and returning AMS-DXB-SYD-OOL, the system lets you book them but not complete the purchase and you have to ring the call centre but t...

  • Reward Flights from Europe July 2018

    Nov 22, 2017, 05:11 PM

    I managed to get business class to Paris and from Amsterdam for next May and August on Emirates by booking the as multi sector but spending less than 24 hours at the stopover so it doesn't increase the miles needed. Try a multi city such as BCN-DXB, then DXB to an Asian city then that city to you...

    I use the as soon as I have enough to get flights, earlier in 2017 I went business class from Gold Coast to Sydney to Bangkok to Dubai to Barcelona and back the same way. Had to book them as multi-city itinerary but when the stopover is less than 24 hours it doesn't increase the miles you need. ...

  • Arrived Monday 31/7 @ 8.20am on an Emirates flight from Bangkok and checked in for the domestic connection to the Gold Coast at the Qantas transfer section at the international terminal and no delays there at all, no one in the security line and I was expecting there to be chaos given the ne...

  • Qantas Emirates Partnership

    Mar 24, 2017, 03:26 PM

    I hope the partnership continues as it is really the only way to get J between Australia and Europe at the base level for points as QF and EK are the same number of redemption points where CX and others are usually a bit more. I have an upcoming trip on points in J and all flights except OOL-SYD ...

  • Was looking forward to seeing the new lounge in May but had to change my flight and now leaving from the Gold Coast so would love a sneak peek. John

  • I recently flew on the HKG-CNS-BNE in business class and it was pretty full on both legs, one person I was speaking with said a lot of people fly into Cairns or Brisbane on Cathay then after a few days there do a domestic Qantas or maybe Jetstar leg between BNE & CNS then fly back to HKG so t...

  • Had the similar issues with booking BNE-BCN, could get the flights as individual sectors BNE-SIN on QF and then SIN-DXB & DXB-BCN on EK but even then when I tried to finalize the booking it would always have an error message eventually managed to book it with an operator for the same points a...
