I'm in Australia... Thus, the problem
The flights start at like $1200 to leave the country (unless I wanted to go to NZ every week
)...
If I was in the US I'd have a United Students VISA card, etc. and be doing milage runs every weekend
...But the ONLY way to get Star Alliance milage from CC's in Australia is to get an AMEX... I suppose I could look at getting Qantas milage (One World Alliance)
