So where's the review? I can only see Willyroo's postings. I am very interested in what you come up with here - it seems to be one of the best value for money J trips RTW ex Oz</font>
Isn't a DONE5 priced at roughly 50% more than this (about AUD 6000?) and would give you 300% more status credits, mileage and comfort? Unless you can't afford the extra AUD2000 or the time, it would seem to be uncompetitive with the OWE fares.
For example the following DONE5 routing would earn just under 2000 SCs and 63000 base miles (or over 110K miles with bonuses, depending on airline choice): syd-hkg-lhr-hel-lhr-dxb-lhr-yvr-jfk-mia-ord-anc-dfw-jfk-eze-scl-ipc-scl-eze-jfk-syd
Why are the QF/AY mixed class fares interesting given the much greater earning efficiency of the OWE fares?
