Apparently they are in the inventory and if you call you can book over the phone

Is this still possible and have you tried it? Apparently now the first class rewards seats are missing from aeroplan as well

Someone call Qantas to see if they can see the first class availability their end????? I am trying to book Sydney to Christchurch first class Emirates. There was hundreds of seats then all sudden GONE. if they can book via phone, its obviously an issue with the online system we are all seeing. I am on hold to them now, they take the micky though with getting through to them! Ill be here all night. I hope to god they come back, otherwise I will kick myself FOREVER!!

Have you successfully got any seat over the phone? The customer services I've been talking to have no idea what's going on and they can only see what the website shows.

As per my comment on the other thread, there’s plenty of F seats SYD-CHC. Just use multi-city search.

I called on Friday about a flight from Nice to coughet via Dubai in first class, no availability. Before the 5th august there were plenty of seats available in first and business, now none, even when calling. The call rep didn’t have any information about the first class seats being removed, just said there was no availability.

Still hoping it’s a glitch… fingers crossed x
