Hi, I found a discounted premium economy fare back from Europe. Except that the first leg begins in Milan on a different airline (Alitalia) in economy. The ticket is from Milan > Paris > Sydney.

The Qantas leg flight is showing up on my Qantas ap already. If we were to show up at Paris airport to check in, would this be possible? Or if we miss the Original flight, will the Qantas ticket be cancelled?

Additioanlly it is a very tight connection in Paris (1 hr) so if the flight from Milan is delayed we could miss the whole flight.

Some rouge OTA's cobble together flights.
Do you have 2 e-tickets and/or 2 PNR's? Or 1 e-ticket and/or 1 PNR (6 character booking reference)
Does the e-ticket/tickets begin with 081-xx?
Can you access the Alitalia flight details in its "manage booking"
Some web sites allow you to enter e-tickets which can give more info. Try QR Qatar manage booking.
