In reply to Sue. Hi Sue, you can only use the multicity tool once. To add further flights to an existing booking, you'll have to call Qantas. They will charge you for each leg added, until such time as you have at least two airlines other than Qantas in the booking (i.e. you meet the requirements for the oneworld award), at which point they'll continue to charge you for each leg until you hit the 318k cap and no more after that.

Hi Kris, if I use the Qantas multicity tool to book a business class RTW trip using points, and I book each flight over say a week, I presume that each time I book a leg it will charge me the points for that leg. Once I have booked the final leg and meet all their requirements for the RTW ticket, does it then charge me the 318,000 points, rather than the points for each leg? The article suggests it can be booked in stages

In reply to Osh. Hi Osh, there's been no change. You must be referring to the rules for paid RTW bookings.

Hi Kris,
It appears they’ve changed the rules on the flights now, requiring you to:
– Your trip must be in a continuous forward direction
– You must cross both the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific ocean in your journey

Is this news to you as well?

While it is possible to buy points from Qantas to top up your account, it’s very expensive and not recommended. There are many better ways to build your points balance (eg buy wine from Qantas Wine that comes with bonus points, or get a new credit card with a bonus offer).

Thanks for all the information. I don’t have enough points for two business class tickets. Can I pay cash to make the shortfall?

hi chris do you know of any body or agency that can organise a business class ticket around the world as i have the required points if i provide dates and destinations as i find it very difficult to do, if you know any organisation that handles these complex bookings for a fee let me know steve.

In reply to Steph. Can't have 2 stopovers in LAX, that's why your booking didn't work.

In reply to Chris. Hi Chris, the points cost is the same - 318k for business class.
