HI there, I really don't know where to post this.
For the last couple of months I was delighted to see a use for my 400K Qantas points. Coming home from Europe in July 2020, I found a business class seat x 2 offered most days, from Rome to Sydney via Shanghai on China Easstern Airlines. In two combinations, MU788 + mu561 AND mu 788 + MU 735. This would be GREAT!
We are leaving from Rome. It would work perfectly.
prefer Leaving on a Thursday (23rd July 2020 not up yet so looking for options before it does.) Wed and Friday ok too.
AS July 2020 becomes available to book, I'm seeing completely different configurations of flights.
Ergh, don't want to travel for 37 hours....or have 4 stops, or whatever. I also REALLY want to travel business class all the way. That is the one thing that seems to be changing, combo economy/business class replacing some of the fully business class offerings.
So I have a few questions if someone doesn't mind answering them.
1. What is the likelihood that china eastern has completely changed their schedule, starting July 2020 (as opposed to June 2020) and that the available fully classic reward business class seats are only offered as econo/business in this different month?
2. is it ever possible that while no fully bus class seats are offered immediately, that they may become available in the future? or does that never happen.
3. We will be in Rome at this time. I was looking for as direct a flight to Sydney as possible. What other possible combinations could I look up? I don't mind stopping in TWO cities, eg Rome to Paris, Paris to Shanghai, Shanghai to Sydney, as long as the layovers aren't agonisingly long. I just don't know what the combinations are from Rome. Can anyone help with this?
Any tips on how to search this would be gratefully accepted.
