Hm, 6cpm and a LOT of time in the back of a 747. Not sure how much I want to suffer for 1K status...
Also flying out of SYD (where I'm based) 6CPM is nearly unheard of...
9-10 is generally the rule

Grt fare from Syd to Lhr. But still in back of the bus on 747. Not sure I'd deal with UA on this one. If fare even close, I'd have booked on OZ (syd-icn-lhr) in Y. Soft and hard product far superior.

Q fare available from LHR with free stopover in the US for 300US$ more (around 1900$).

I'm using a SWU for LHR-SFO-SYD in May. IIRC, I was able to book it with an 8~ hour connection in San Francisco, which will allow me to leave the airport, etc. Also used a SWU on the return and am only waiting for SFO-LHR to clear.. With the 777/77Q swaps, IM has been a lot tighter on award space, which saves them in the case that it's a 777 and then swaps to 77Q at the gate, which would see them downgrading people.Originally Posted by HansGolden

I may be making a similar trip in August. Want to check out Hyatts in SYD, MEL, and Canbera.
Under SHARES, does one SWU still cover the whole trip?

The CO agent that answered when I called the 1K Desk says that he doesn't see any restriction on the use of a SWU. Hopefully that is still the case.
