Hello my Flyer talk friends
I was wondering if you could help me work out which Star Alliance to join. I have filled out the info that most people give, however my situation is a little different. As I live in Australia, Star Alliance is not possible for domestic travel so I am Qantas Gold. However, I am just about to embark on the following journHong ey in July.
What I am aiming for is to get enough points to get a ticket from brisbane to new zealand, even if its one way. The RTW journey has some 1 qantas flight from SYD to Hong Kong which obviusly won't get me Star Alliance points but the rest is:
Hong Kong to Zurich on Swiss
Geneva to New York on Swiss
JFK to Sydney on United ( one flight number 819 via SFO)
I also have two internal flights with Air Canada - Boston to Quebec City and Toronto to Chicago.
Standard Info:
(1) What is your home airport? Brisbane
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy? Cheapest economy or business airfare I can find.
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? Around 20,000.
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? None for Star Alliance Qantas Gold Frequnt Flyer
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? For this its all about getting points, The Qantas Pub (oops Club!!!) keeps me very loyal to them
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? Mostly within Australia.
(7) Preferred Airlines? None.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Both - allthouogh no FF points awarded for work travel
Thanks for the advice, any other thoughts from people?
