award availability

Somewhat of a newbie question here so looking for some guidance. My family of 5 is planning a once in a lifetime trip to america. Will be going to both east and west coasts but not sure which one first. No specific timing but perhaps within the next 2 years. The youngest is 4 years old at the...

Hi all, Booked recently to go SQ BNE-SIN-JFK with a ~18 hour layover, but given the complexities around testing/entry/insurance to singapore I was thinking of changing the flight to the late night departure from BNE to reduce the layover. I did an award search and found availability on the...

I was just having a look for award availability on the Air Canada website and noticed that Singapore Airlines is now once again appearing as an option. Only Y availability at this stage, but perhaps this means SQ is no longer blocking all partner airlines from access its award inventory. SQ...

I'm currently seeing a bit of rare Air New Zealand business class award availability between Auckland and Vancouver on 4 dates in February 2022. Appears to be only 1 seat per flight, but posting in case this is useful to anyone. Some connecting flights are also available from Australia. Here's...

I noticed recently that Thai Airways has now released a lot more award availability on its SYD-BKK route, including in J. You can book using any Star Alliance airline miles, e.g. LifeMiles or KrisFlyer miles. There are lots of seats available in J over the next two weeks, then nothing over...

Can't seem to find any via QF.com, nor via EK.com. Have they just not released any seats?

Qantas says it has made the "largest single release of additional Classic Flight Reward seats in the airline’s history across its international and domestic network" at 7am this morning...

Qantas has brought forward the planned restart of its SYD-LAX and SYD-LHR flights from 18 December to 14 November, subject to NSW allowing international travel from this date (this is not yet confirmed). Every seat on these flights is now available as a Classic Flight Reward for the first week...

Hello, I'm planning to travel to Canada sometime in 2022 once the international borders reopen. Presently, I've got a J award booking with Aeroplan to bring me back there but thanks to you know what, the flight schedules keep changing and my rebooking options seem somewhat limited (either push...

Just thought I would post this in case anyone is interested/looking. Air New Zealand has released lots of award seats in Y & J on its Boeing 787 services between Perth and Auckland. At 12,500 KrisFlyer miles in Y or 31,000 KrisFlyer miles in J, it's potentially a good use of SQ miles (or points...

I've been lucky enough to secure approval to travel for my business to LHR. I'm looking at Booking a J award to Europe with Emirates during May 2021 Any thoughts on probability of me getting bumped if I'm using a classic QF reward rather than paying for the ticket?

Was skimming around looking at where QF have currently deployed their A330s domestically, because if I'm going to shell out some avios to take the family away it's going to be in J on a decent plane. Found QF702 running daily from MEL-CNS on an A330: perfect! Trouble is, there doesn't seem to...

I've just noticed that the United website is showing some (limited) partner award availability on Air New Zealand's flights between BNE/SYD and Norfolk Island (NLK). I've just checked for availability in May/June but there may be other dates also. E.g. NLK-SYD award availability in June...

I'm trying to book Classic award flights using my Qantas Frequent Flyer points on a flight to Europe on Qatar Airways (via Doha) - for about 11 months time. But I can't see using the Qantas website, multi-city booking system, any Classic award flights on Qatar flights ex Australia. For example...

Singapore Airlines has reportedly removed award inventory from all partner airlines until at least 1 September 2020. So it's not currently possible to book any SQ award flights using United miles, Alaska miles, LifeMiles, etc. (Velocity redemptions on all partners remain unavailable anyway.) SQ...

I haven't come across this before... On the Qantas website, it seems you can now book JL codeshare flights operated by Korean Air? At least, that's being offered when I search for flights from ICN-HEL... Who would've thought you could use Qantas points to fly on a Korean Air aircraft!

I'm trying use my Qantas points get two, one-way business seats with Qatar from LHR-BNE. The QF site only shows one available each day whereas BA and AA both show two. I called Qantas Premium to try and see if they can see different but they see the same as me. My question is: is it normal for...
