Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

Pretty sure that was it .. so requires a call to create an itinerary .> 6 sectors?

For an itinerary that - theoretically - can hit 16 sectors, seems a very restrictive issue.

Thanks for the prompt reply Thomas088.

You have to call, and note that forcing the domestic sector can also result in an error. If BNE-HKG comes up with SYD as a transit, you’re good to go. If you have to select SYD-BNE it will usually then block the onward connection and vv.

Thanks - but it did allow me to proceed to book with the BNE-SYD/SYD-BNE.

As the MCT is legal I assume there would be no issue ticketing.

Dummy booking - this is for someone else … totally across the insisting on charge waivers- but thanks for the reminder.

You can get all the way to final stage with the domestic block, then it errors at payment.

The block works both ways… book BNE-SYD first and the inventory SYD-HKG is blocked, and vv.

The call centre will tell you that the seats you can see aren’t available anymore, that only they (the call centre) has access to live inventory, that you should book the connecting flight separately, or even, as was told to me, that Qantas doesn’t fly on any day of the week from SYD to MEL after 8am (when in reality, because my flight got in early morning, all the domestic connectors were then blocked).

Hobart can apparently work around the block.
