Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[WanderBug]

Hi all,
Trying to book a OWA fare and getting various errors trying online and also struggling on calls either being told the availability (which I can see) isn't there. Or that it won't price for them as a valid fare. One agent told me she tried pricing it as a RTW fare which obviously didn't work and said they had no way to try and price it as a OWA fare.

This is what I'm trying to do, is there any reason this shouldn't work?

BKK-CPH (BKK-HEL, HEL-CPH)
HEL-NRT
HND-HKG
HKG-SYD (on same day as above flight but different airline)
SYD-KTM (SYD-KUL, KUL-KTM)
KTM-SYD (KTM-HKG, HKG-SYD)

This all comes out to 34,510 miles including surface sectors.

Would there be a problem as I have one stopover in Sydney but then also end the fare there?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Does the 34,510 also include SYD back to BKK? Re the second stop in SYD have you tried a different final stop, ie do you get the same errors if you go HKG-MEL as your final flight?

Yeah the mileage does include the return back to BKK at the end.

Good thinking about trying a different final stop. I just tried with a final leg to HKG-MEL but got the error "we are unable to confirm your selected flights"

They should be fine. Are all your transits under 24 hours? If you can't book online, make sure you log out a couple of hours before you ring.
