With AY you would need 20k points for a domestic ticket. 15,000 points will get you an upgrade in nordic routes. (info in English at www.finnair.com, International site, Hungarian only on the Hungarian site :) ).

so where is the list of codeshare flights in europe and how do i book it?

ie QF flights 3601 3602 lhr-fra? i assume there are other, more desirable codeshares avail...

I think you'll find that the QF intra-Europe codeshare flights are either near-impossible to book or priced at a level which doesn't make sense, unless you're combining them with a long-haul BA/QF ticket or a RTW product.

For those based in the UK without travel plans during the qualifying period I would suggest three weekends away using BA, AY and IB. Or you could be slightly cleverer about it to reduce the number of trips you need to take: eg a BA return to ARN or HEL, plus an AY return ex either of those; alternatively BA to MAD + a return MAD-LIS with IB.

QF and the offer
 
Hi,

Just checked with potential Mrs S and she thinks that all the short haul QFs ex-LON can only be booked in association with a long haul ticket.

If you were really wanting to take part either (i) do the BA EC thing and get a freebie (ii) if you were really naughty... book a MAN to LHR to SIN all on QF, get to LHR and then offload yourself and go for a refund. No as far as I am aware that breaks the odd rule but I doubt that the International Court of Airline Fare Abusers would argue too much. Might end up stiffing you for a full fare on the MAN to LHR, which at the end of the day, costs the same for a single as the value of the miles.

Buy a 1W RTW, fly a QF codeshare sector on BA and then hold the rest of the ticket for later?

Try a QF codeshare in the US?

.

Is it really so that operating airline is insignificant?

Must be both operated and coded by a OneWorld airline. But its the flight number that counts for this promotion.

Bonus in AA as the flight on the 16th was a LanChile booked as the codeshare by AA several months ago. :D

Markie I'm impressed about the timeliness of the bonus miles posting. Us QF'ers have been told it'll be sometime between qualification and end of calendar year 2004....
