Last chance to score JL flights before it's gone?

Gone forever?

Crazy pricing for premium economy with those fuel surcharges

Gone forever?

Crazy pricing for premium economy with those fuel surcharges

Maybe not forever. I am expecting more Reward Tickets out towards the end of this month.

Meanwhile, I am puzzled as of why JL don't release OneWorld Reward tickets ex-China to Japan on Qantas? I can see up to 9 seats J daily from PEK-HND but I cannot see them on QFF at all

Any experience with availability of Awards seats on Oman and/or Turkish?
I'd like to put together a OW trip via Muscat and Turkey to Ljubliana. Not wanting much!

Turkish airlines isn’t part of oneworld.

Oman Air seems pretty open. Have you checked for availability on the qantas site for Oman Air?

Any reason why Qantas can't seem to ticket this itinerary:

MEL-NRT (JAL STOP) NRT-SFO (JAL STOP) LAND SEGMENT YVR-LAX-AUS (AA STOP) AUS-MIA-BOG (AA STOP) BOG-MIA-JFK-CLE-LAX-NAD (AA and FJ STOP) NAD-SYD (FJ END)

Everything was ticketed and points capped out at 366,500 before adding BOG-MIA-JFK-CLE-LAX last night. Operator said there was an issue and couldn't do a points calculation or a repricing and would have to refer to support team.

I am on phone now, have been told that it is all ticketed and eticket will be issued in next 24-48 hours but I have no confidence this will happen.

Can anyone see if there is a reason it is potentially a problem.

UPDATE - I have been told it won't reprice and the system won't give a reason. The supervisor then advised that it is because you cannot backtrack which I know is not true. Any advice on how I can escalate this.

I can’t see an issue. HUACA.

Ask them tell you which specific clause of the award has been breached.

If you are looking for going somewhere after this Christmas, Shanghai must be your go-to destination.
5+ reward tickets to Shanghai is available on boxing day, which guarantees your safety this festive season in China, the safest country in the world.

Can they be booked though?

I think you will find they (China Eastern Business) just disappear when you try and search for them.

First time they told me that I couldn't backtrack, I challenged that and then they came back and advised that I had 7 stopovers (2 were actually transits) then they came back and offered me a choice - take BOG-MIA-JFK or JFK-CLE-LAX not both and they would be able to put it through.

On the phone now (on hold) hopefully get through to someone that understands these awards.
