I have a question regarding rules on a OW Award I hope to book through QF. It will be 300,000 points for up to 35k miles & 5 stopovers in F. My question is, can I enter countries -UK and Australia in this case- multiple times (effectively backtracking twice) to get maximum value from the 35000 miles. I can't find any reference in the website (or searching this forum)but wonder if anyone has experience of this.

Specificially, the route I'm after is (june 2004)LHR-MAD(stop 1)-X/LHR-BKK(stop 2)-SYD(stop 3), then november 2004 SYD-HKG(stop 4)-X/FCO-BHX (stop 5), then dec 2004, BHX-X/FRA-X/SIN-SYD (or MEL if SYD is not allowed).

Can anyone tell me if this is allowed - it seems too good to be true to be able to go Europe-Oz-Europe-OZ in F all for 300,000 QF points

I can't book this until I hit the 360 day window for the last leg, which will happen in in December, so any other advice on better routings (achieving the stops in MAD, SYD, HKG and BHX then ending up in OZ) is welcome.

Thanks.
