Combine two separate QR redemptions possible?

[ddaritan]

Hi, apologies if this has been asked before, but I've searched but was not able to find the answer.

Is it generally possible to combine two separate QR redemptions on Velocity? So basically I am looking for a Europe - Australia flight for later this year (Haven't decided which European city yet, but for argument's sake, let's say it is FCO).

So far I have found good business rewards availability on the Doha to Australia leg (e.g. MEL, PER, BNE, ADL), but if I searched FCO - Australia, then the only seats available are Economy.

I am just wondering if there is any way to combine two rewards booking redemptions, i.e. If I make separate redemptions for FCO - DOH on Economy and then DOH - MEL on Business, will the Velocity customer service person be able to combine the bookings?
Or should I be making the separate redemptions via phone call?

I'm also curious. I know it's definitely possible, what I'm wondering is can you check the luggage through to the final destination, and/or can they put them on one ticket over the phone.

I’ve combined separate Europe to DOH and DOH to Oz J rewards with sub-24h layovers onto a single ticket in the past by calling. Unfortunately the online booking engine is a bit rudimentary and struggles where flights are on separate days.

So call - the worst that can happen is they say no.
