Hi brains trust - I'm planning for a trip with Qantas oneworld classic flight reward for mid-2023.
looking at positioning to Asia (BKK) and starting the trip there and utilising the 'long transit' option in Sydney as detailed in the
pointshack article and heading back to Asia (SIN) 2024 when reward availability is open.
trying to piece this itinerary using the qantas multi city tool for 2022-2023 as a test, but I am hitting a roadblock with the 2023 second trip. can anyone advise what i'm doing wrong?
2022
bkk-hel-ber (stop 1)
ber-lhr-ath (stop 2)
ath-lhr-cdg (stop 3)
cdg-doh-syd (stop 4)
2023
syd-sin (stop 5)
sin-syd (return)
I'm able to price a trip for the first part to europe from bkk and return to sydney. but the moment i add the 2023 syd-sin flight return, it throws up an error. just thinking if the return counts as 6 stops rather than 5? but if I remove the sin-syd last leg, and stop back in sin, it also gives an error.
any one know what i'm doing wrong?
confirmed i've not selected any non-oneworld partners (like ek, air france, etc)
