Can I suggest Qantas add an award redemption destnation?

[casp]

I noticed Qantas recently added a few new destnations for redemption, such as HND Tokyo Haneda.
Can I suggest or request Qantas to add other destnations to the online booking system?
Our company has an office in Hangzhou, China (HGH). We are often redeem seats on CX flight SYD/HKG/HGH. However, as HGH is not in the online destnation list, we need call QF and pay 6,000 booking fee each time. Anyway I can get Qantas put HGH online?
Thanks!

Who’s the HND route with?

I know CX routes occasionally pop up, but don’t they use a different res system, so perhaps that’s why they don’t show all the time.

Oh so that’s what the system was down for. I got the email but just trashed it as I really loathe MPC. Maybe in the future more CX flights will show up then. Time will tell.

Why don't you unsubscribe to their emails?

The point is Qantas doesn't include HGH in their classic award destnation. HGH is in Anyseat but anyseat doesn't offer good deal on business class and you can not do one way on booking on anyseat. I wish Qantas could update HGH into their classic award.

BA flies HND-LHR. It offers more choices on the Oz-LHR route as you can switch between NRT and HND, if necessary. However it does generally require an overnight stay.

ASAs can be good value.

Can you also clarify your comment 'you can not do one way on booking on anyseat' as ASAs are available one way.

 

[casp]

Yes one way anyseat is possible but the points required is not much different from the return flight.
There is no point to spent a huge amount of points for a one way booking.

That is not always true.
