I'm looking at flying to Europe in July/August with my family (wife, 4yo, 8 month old).
Now, it's really quite expensive, but points seem to work out much better.
Can I buy Qantas points and convert them to Qatar miles and then use those to book the flights? Sorry, I'm trying to work it out, but I can't get the Qatar calculators to work.
Clearly, I've got proof that I've got a newborn as my simple arithmetic is way off! :D
Make that 10/11 month old.
your story is falling apart—what reason are you really going to europe for? ^__^
You can't convert Qantas to Qatar miles. If you want to fly with Qatar, you need to book through Qantas to Doha then from Doha to your European city. I got lots of points, want to buy them off me :)
Look at the Classic points section for Qantas. If you want to fly Qatar you will need to tailor which city you come into.
Thanks, I'll have a look.
It's Frankfurt I'm after.
Looking at the Classic Points there do appear to be Qatar flight from Sydney to Frankfurt for, roughly, 160,000 points, one way, and about $400 - $600 fees.
Just play around with dates
Just booked business class flights to Europe dep July return Aug. 375k points + $1000 pp.
It's possible.
I got emirates and etihad though, not Qatar.
Why so much points ?
Australia to Singapore then on to Europe, that's how it was priced on this occasion, a few extra points compared to preCovid days
According to my maths the 8 month old is not even born yet.
