So here's my dilemna- My wife wants to go to Australia in a couple years, and we'd prefer to fly business class. Currently, I have about 40K UA miles, and she has 25K, well shy of the 90K we'd need for the seats.
When I posed this question on MilesBuzz, the general consensus was to start earning miles on AA, so I'd have options of Qantas (105K miles) or Cathay (100K miles) when the time came.</font>
Where did you get the QF points figure from? Just checked their award site and its 160K for a business class award SYD-LAX.
