Yeah, looks good.
If you type win www.qualiflyer.com (http://www.qualiflyer.com) you'll get the 'neutral' version. If you click the link from www.swissair.com (http://www.swissair.com) you'll get the swissair logo on top.

Is anyone else having a problem with the site? I click on "promotions" and it starts to load but then takes me back to the previous screen.
Same thing with "newsletter".

When I try to access the site with Netscape 6.2 I get an error. It works fine with IEX 5.5.

It's annoying that there do not appear to be any tables showing the awards...you have to put routes into the calculator.
Using the tables I was able to work out that an award flight to Oz from Europe was cheaper if you got seperate tickets to Asia and then onwards on Qantas.

Wow - it is too! When are you thinking of going? I'm planning to head down to Mel (VFR) for two weeks sometime late June or early July.

Hoping to go in Nov....will book once my bonus credits.
According to the calculator, you xcan also go to OZ on AA - I suppose on the Qantas code share from LAX.

Indeed. Also looks like if you book as two separate tickets (ie to Asia and then onwards) that you can to do multiple stops in Australia (flying Qantas) - but I'm not sure if this is just permitted by the calculator but can't actually be ticketed.
Would be interesting to see if you could match availabilty with two different tickets.
As an aside - I have no idea whether I'm even going to get seats early June for end June.

Just a word of warning. I tried to book Qantas award flights in January and was told that Qantas had blocked domestic awards because of Ansett going bust and the lack of capacity on the domestic market. Don't know whether that rule is still in effect.
