I will be travelling RTW on busines and need som advice as to the best way to maximise my QF points and tier status.
I will be departing Perth Aust. and will need to visit Vancouver, NYC, San Francisco, London, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I am currently a Qantas club member without tier status- well only 100 away from blue.
I would like to get as many points as possible. This is probably my last decent company paid for trip so i want to take advantage of it. What would be my best options? Also how do work how many points a trip like this may be worth?
As Qantas club member what are my chances of getting into the club lounges in North America?
I am also a H Honors member with silver status, but my company will not pay for Hiltons ouside Oz do they have a brand that is a step down from a regular hilton - not far down?

Thanks
