EK trans-Tasman F reward seats only appear on Qantas multi-city tool?

OT, but that’s the only way to see EK F on TT routes.

Wait, so you’re saying Emirates First reward seats on SYD-CHC don’t show up on the Qantas website if you search for one-way or return flights, but do if you use the multi-city tool? Well that’s an annoying and bizarre quirk!

Yes. There's no "First" option in the cabin class drop down list once you've selected SYD-CHC. Only whY, PE and J (no idea what you'll see with PE?). You might get a "First" column but no seats.

Do a MC and they're there. Lots and lots of seats.....
 
Wow, great tip, thanks! Theres a few in January and heaps in Feb 2026
Sadly (for those wanting to drop a lot of cash on EK fuel fines), the same can’t be said for EK flights ex SYD to DXB. They’re still totally MIA post about mid March 2026. Where as CHC run thru for months.
