AAward on QF domestic

[alieninperth]

I want to book a flight from ADL to PER for travel in a month or so. The AA booking engine is showing the direct flights only (on a 73H), is there any way I can force the connection through MEL or SYD without using two aawards? I searched the forum but couldnt find anything.

thanks

For some time now (a year or so?), Advantage has only been using Qantas' published routings for SWP routes.

Those for ADL-PER are:

well that explains why they were coming up with QF and not with AA.

I find great value in the Trans Tasman J class fares.

Darwin to AKL for 17.5k point which equates to about $350 plus small taxes each way!

Even better for Perth to NZ!!
