One World Explorer from Hobart

[rsellens]

Is this another one of the QANTAS enhancements? I live in Hobart. I am trying to create a OW DONE itinerary on the QF site. When I proceed to choose flights from HBA to MEL or SYD or return I get a message stating that no flights matching my criteria are available. It doesn't matter what day of the year I try I get the same result. I even tried a dummy RTW itinerary on the OW site starting overseas. Same result. Is it that they don't want anyone to travel overseas from Tasmania or any overseas visitors to come here? Or are they trying to force Tasmanians to book throught the GCC at extra cost? I rang the GCC the other day to inform them of the problem. I suggested that the operative inform her superiors of the problem but so far no resolution. Hopefully Red Roo will read this and get some action.

What routes/airport are you trying? Try Mileage Monkey (which is not up to date with the new OW airlines)
Have you tried a OW LONE trip?
Have you tried a basic HBA-SYD-LHR-LAX-SYD-HBA? Does the system accept that ?
The problem may not be HBA-xx_ but another city
Is HBA-SYD/MEL as QF flight or a JQ flight?

I suspect the removal of mainline operated flights has put a spanner in the works with the system not understanding the Cobham flights.

I suspect that this may be part of the problem. Although the OW explorer rules specifically state that National Jet Systems (Cobham) flights are permitted. I am having a similar problem in the USA where I want to fly into PVD which is a US Airways destination but even AA codeshares are not coming up.
