Hi, I will make GGL for the first time in June, about 2-3 weeks before the end of my membership year (assuming Qatar continues to post TPs in a timely manner!).
I want to make use of one of the first set of Jokers that I will have for that 2 weeks for a trip at xmas.
One way: London to Perth (LHR-KUL with BA and the KUL-PER with MH)
I believe I can do this by:
A: Booking LHR-KUL with BA on avios or GUF1 with joker and KUL - PER separately direct with airline. I would probably add a 24hour stop to make the connection safer though, which is not preferred.
B: a cash booking for the whole itinerary in WT or WTP and the LHR-KUL is upgraded using the GUF1.
Is it possible to:
C: A full avios booking on BA and then partner airline with the joker used on the BA segment and assuming avios availability on the partner flight (currently ok for KUL/PER)
Thanks in advance!
A few notes:
It could be KUL or SIN, doesn't really matter.
If I did a cash booking, I would book open jaw LHR-PER / KUL-LHR so no issues about expensive one way fares or wasting half a GUF1.
