I'm new to here,

I have 170,000 QFF points (bronze).

My daughter has the opportunity to go to LA (from Perth) on a group tour, I have to go also.

I want one more adult and one 13 year old to come. We can't afford the tour price .

Travel dates are not set but probably mid December 2012.

I don't know how big a risk it is to presume I can get my husband there on points. Considering I have to count the days prior to flight date and go online at exactly the right time, I'm worried 2 of us (paid) will get there and the other two wont.

I realise now I don't have to travel Qantas, I presume I can go Oneworld. Does that make it more feasible/possible considering I can choose from more flights?

I guess I'm asking is this a crazy pipe dream or is it do-able?

thanks.
