I’m currently planning my trip for this year. Even though it would be my 4th *ONE* I could use some help getting it all sorted out (and booked before the 10% off sale ends).

In the past I’ve gone to Qantas Travel to book it, only because I couldn’t book it myself online. I had hoped to be able to book it with the online tool this year, but it doesn’t appear to be working. If it doesn’t start working again, what are my other options? I’d like to avoid the $50+ booking fee from Qantas Travel and the QF fuel fees.


The current itinerary plan is:

Sep 4 CBR-SYD-LAX-PDX (extra flight to PDX on AS. Would like to book on a QF code if at all possible.)
Sep 7/8 PDX-ABQ (extra flight, likely on WN)
Sep 10 ABQ-DFW-DEN
Sep 13/14 DEN-BOS
Sep 17 BOS-ATL (options appear to be connecting through ORD, MIA or STL. Which one is better?)
Sep 20 ATL-LHR
Sep 23 LHR-SIN
Sep 24 SIN-KUL
Sep 26/27 KUL-NRT
Sep 30 NRT-KIX
Oct 2 KIX-SIN-MEL (want to avoid the mess of SYD Arrivals)
Oct 4 MEL-CBR

The reason for the SYD-LAX flight is QF11 (A380). If it was a 744, I’d take QF73 to SFO.
I want to get QF32 LHR-SIN. Two reasons, first it’s better timed for me (allowing a full day in Singapore to get some shopping done), second, it’s an A380. Would QF check me through to KUL from LHR (as it’s a same day connecting flight on JL721) or would I have to recheck in the afternoon when I got back to the airport?

I should be back to Silver/Ruby by the time I take this trip (I lost it last year at the end of July, 5 days before I left on my last *ONE*).

Thoughts?
