Was there a need to pass through immigration?

Having decided our twice rebooked 14 sector round-the-world OWA in May is just too risky to contemplate (from the viewpoint of being stranded somewhere having tested positive) we're now looking to simply fly MEL to ZRH and back by the simplest route possible - either paid or by redemption. By...

Hello, I’d like 2 of either colour if still available. Cheers Adenda

Yep - had similar experiences with agents checking "another system" to sucessfully find seats that were otherwise unavailable. And only the better agents seemed to know about it.

Qatar Airways has essentially boycotted QFF members access to any more than 1 J seat on their flights out of Australian cities. I've frequently found the same as you have - multiple J seats on BA/AA/JL websites but at most 1 seat via QF. Intrigued how you found the availability through...

Regarding seat selection, I had similar issues recently that I finally got sorted by using MMB on various OW airline websites. I usually find RJ is the most reliable site followed by MH. If you can only select for yourself - as was my experience - log in to RJ using your SO's surname and only...

That’s interesting - what benefit would it be to QF to do so?

Wondering if anyone on AFF has a contact within QR's local office (or any office). Would be good to understand what is behind their bizarre policy restricting QFF members to at most 1 J award seat on QR out of Australia and whether it's ever going to change. Don't understand why they want to...

Great idea for a thread! Below with minor variations but same stopovers originally booked for May 2020, then October 2020, then May 2021 and now booked for May 2022: 2 pax in J - about 34,500 miles MEL-KUL-DOH-ZRH (MH/QR)* ZRH-MAD-BCN (IB) BCN-MAD-LIM (IB) LIM-MIA (AA) MIA-ATL-ORD (AA)...

Try Manage My Booking on rj.com, finnair.com or malaysiaairlines.com. I've previously found these - or other Oneworld airlines' Manage My Booking pages - allow seat selection when the host airline sometimes doesn't. I think the linked article only relates to purchased tickets rather than points...

Understand Matt - I was just curious if reward search engines other than QF (eg. JAL, BA) were showing any J seats where QF showed nil after your single booking. I once called QF to query the discrepancy between availabilty on QR when searched via QF vs BA and was told essentially it's up to...

Does that mean QF will allow 2 separate reward boookings on a OW airline to be joined under a single booking reference?

I should have said BA or JA websites - not the airlines!

Were you able to also check on BA or JA? There may genuinely be no J seats available on QR on that date. What was the date?

@Matt_01 I'm aware of the options via DPS, HKG and KUL as well- they regularly come up in searches. AKL comes up as well occasionally - and that's around 17 hours! - but too long (in distance) for our planned itinerary. KUL is my fallback option but, having managed to snare direct flights back...

Oh .... believe me I've tried all permutations - individual segments or full route. Makes no difference it seems. For what it's worth here's an example for 23 March 22 from QF (third column is business): and from BA:

Probably should have been clearer in my objective. We're looking to book a OWA in J for around May next year (after having to cancel previously booked OWAs for May 21, Sep 21 and finally Oct 21). The first part of the journey was to fly Australia (any port) to Zurich hopefully using the...

Captain - can you share some specific dates and routes? I tried several days between MEL and CDG in March and still getting nothing for 2 pax in J on QR
