QF miles redemption

Hi,
First time poster here, but am planning a trip from SYD to NYC in October with 170K expiring QF points. In general, is it more cost-effective/nicer experience to redeem QF miles for QF flts or go with other OneWorld partners (cathay/AA)?

Thanks in advance,

I'd see whats available in the class you want before asking those questions. There may well be no choice (ie no options).

Hi, I did check. So far I see economy and FF class available & no prem. economy upgrade on QF. So the question is would it be better to use the miles redeem say AA/Cathay (there's availability) or just go with QF F class based on your experience.

Thanks

Surely it would be cheaper and easier to book the QF First class, if you can find it. If you cannot then try CX but you will more than likely need to call the QFF call centre to see availability and book paying the assistance fee.
