One for the brains trust:
I am at the tail end of booking an OWA for Dec22/Jan23 for 3pax in J. We have made it as far as DOH-SIN on 8 Jan 23, but I can't find any reward seats to get home to Aus, even in Y. Prefer to SYD (and then on to CBR), but don't really mind.
This is on a Gold QFF account. I can't work out if we have missed literally all availability, or if QF haven't released seats yet for some reason. I realise it is a bit past 353 days, but we have been looking for a couple of weeks and there hasn't been any seats on QF metal. Is there known periods for which QF doesn't release any reward seats?
Have also tried CKG, HKG, KUL, DPS, MNL, DEL, etc, but can't find anything. It doesn't help that both QF search engines (normal and multi-city) seem to be having a lot of issues with phantom availability and general errors in searching flights around these regions in particular.
Happy to change the DOH-SIN flight to somewhere else in Asia Pacific if need be, as we are out of stopovers anyway so just looking to get home in a fairly direct fashion, in J if possible. Also in no way wedded to flying home on QF, but no other options are presenting themselves at this stage.
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? Thanks in advance
