I did UA twice RT. Plan B can be helpful for getting F.

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you're saying.
I'm was just wondering if it's worth paying with miles, and if yes, which program to use.

In non-DansDeals Forums language, he used United miles for the roundtrip on 2 separate occasions. He then gave a tip for getting First class availability, but I think we're still a few steps behind that here.

I love the translation, @Yehuda!  ;D

But seriously, OP, hang out here for a while. There is a lot to learn.

When is your trip? If you have a few months, then if I were you, I would open a United and a Sapphire card from Chase and maybe an Ink as well. I would do all these aps as a multiple browser method. (You can look that up.)

If you have a Red Card, then in one month you could have enough miles to go to Australia and back in first class.

Maybe enough miles for one person... Also, is UA really the best/cheapest way to book?

Yes, one person. That was my assumption.

UA had the best availability. It's 80k each way in F.
