Hello experts,

Have never done a xOnex before but I am looking at one now, expecially with this discount.

I am looking at doing it x UK, as this seems better value than x Australia with the current exchange rates. (x europe is a possible but if would have to save me enough to get there etc, as I will be in UK when I want to start this just after christmas).

The itenary is going to be something like LHR Asia (prob BA or Qantas - a

couple of stops), AUS (a few stops flying Qantas), North America (about 4 stops), back to UK.

If I use the online booking engine, it will ticket on Qantas or BA (re first flight). I see lots of info re using American Airlines to save charges.

Can anyone give me some ideas on how the figures compare re both fuel surcharges and change (service) charges. I would most likely do it with Qantas but I am concerned re these costs? Is AA a possibility - is it going to be worth it. Since I will be putting my points to Qantas will this affect points as well? Costs are the real question however.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Brian.
