Bags will be checked through to MAN. No need to recheck at LHRThere may be no award seats in J at the moment, but if you misconnect they’ll put you in any J seat. Always the chance it is physically full, but you’d hope there’s a seat or two left.
On a similar note, I’m connecting from Europe to Manchester via LHR. Haven’t actually done a domestic connection in the UK before. Is there any form of baggage check at Heathrow or is it just checked through to final destination? My connection is only about 90 mins.
I had 4J CDG-HEL-LAX last yearDoes anyone know if Finnair ever release 2 x J seats to Qantas? I can only find 1 J seat looking as far out as possible on SIN-HEL.
If they only ever release 1 seat I'll look for a different route/airline.
(Was trying to put together a double Europe trip but it won't work if if AY only release 1 seat.)
TRIP 1
SIN-HEL. STOP 1. AY
HEL-HND/NRT. STOP 2. AY/JAL
NRT/HND-(SYD/MEL)-BNE. STOP 3. JAL/QF
TRIP 2
BNE-HKG. STOP 4. CX
HKG-(HEL)-LHR. STOP 5. AY
LHR-(HEL)-SIN. END. AY
Another option was BA or QF LHR-SIN or vice versa.
Edit to add , found 2 x J on HEL-HND so I guess they are out there!
it seems the most likely release to QFF is 1 x Business reward seat but they are available - I have had to book far ahead but i have found 2 x reward AY Biz late Jan SIN-HEL-CPH and further on plenty of 2 AY rewards february HEL to the USA.Does anyone know if Finnair ever release 2 x J seats to Qantas?

I’ve used that method a few times. Confirm the seats exist, then hang up and call back if the person sounds incompetent (which they do most of the time).The following "script" has worked for me the best when trying to make changes: Start with "I want to check for award availibility". Then you feed the agent each route + date + flight number and ask them to add each one to your booking. Finally you ask them to remove any existing flights that you don't need anymore. IME when you say you want to change flights, some agents say that you cannot make segment changes. And asking for an availibility check first means that if you need to HUACA, the agent wouldn't have touched your existing flights yet.
Yes, but the mileage FRA-LHR will be included in the 35k limit for the One World Award, even though you don't fly it.Please excuse my novice question, but I'm trying to establish the feasibility of OneWorld RTW tickets for the following.
MEL-HND (stopover), HND-JNB (stopover), JNB-FRA (stopover), LHR-JFK, VAN-MEL
Am I allowed to break in one city (eg FRA) and recommence in LHR?
I know this is high level but I'm in the initial planning stage.
PS I'm now Silver in QFF

Yes I thought I might have to go YVR-SYD-MEL. Thank youIn theory this should be ok. (I assume VAN is Vancouver - YVR). In practice, depending in when, MEL - TYO (HND/NRT) might be relatively busy and harder to find tickets. May need to consider a stopover besides Australia east coast. (KUL/SIN/CGK/HKG for example).
TYO - JNB leg has to go on CX so this may be a restriction if CX awards aren't there.
From YVR your options are limited to go QF to SYD then MEL unless you find a way down to LAX.
Oh I just realised you don't have the distance to detour via SIN/KUL/CGK to tokyo from MEL. That would push you past 35000 miles so you'll need to be diligent in finding a MEL - TYO flight.Yes I thought I might have to go YVR-SYD-MEL. Thank you
Also note that leaving from LHR will attract significant tax if flying anything but standard economy. If flying premium economy or higher, you’re far better off leaving from the mainland if you can arrange your itinerary to suit.Please excuse my novice question, but I'm trying to establish the feasibility of OneWorld RTW tickets for the following.

You can theoretically fly Akaskan or American VYR-LAX most likely indirectly BUTYes I thought I might have to go YVR-SYD-MEL. Thank you
Just wanted to follow this up sorry2.5 weeks ago, I made some changes to my OWA and removed a number of flights. This ended up being ticketed properly, with new flight numbers and have checked that everything is in place
However, I was told that I would receive $1.3k in taxes back, but I am yet to receive anything. If you look at my e-ticket, the price that I am paying and the price that my wife is paying also do not match up. Does anyone know what I could do/need to say to get this fixed?
Have contacted reward ticketing escalations, but they have not replied
