Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[Mwenenzi]

Your most logical search start point would be BNE. That means typically

BNE-HKG (CX)
BNE-NRT (QF)
BNE-SIN (QF)
BNE-LAX (QF)
BNE-MNL (QF)
BNE-KUL (MH) - certain days.

If you don't mind connecting all over to start then by all means go through the options at all the other major cities off our rock.

If a OWA going east is OK with FJ to NAN, for other connections. But that is assuming sometime QF does add FJ to Oneworld Award.
Maybe QF should re-title as oneworld award less FJ & WY, so to be accurate.

QF

The oneworld Classic Flight Reward table only applies when your Reward Itinerary includes travel on at least two oneworld Member Airlines other than Qantas, and does not include any travel on any airline that is not a oneworld Member Airline. Qantas flights operated by Jetstar Airlines (JQ or GK)^^ cannot be included in oneworld Classic Flight Rewards.

Maybe we all need to lodge complaints that FJ and WY aren't included in OW calculators, in the case of FJ its been 6 months since they came onboard as a full member; and its the airline with the most J award availablity, so very useful if it could be on an OWA.

Is it possible to call and get an FJ let added based that it complies with the rules but just can't be added on the web site. I used to program websites for a living before I retired and the Qantas website has to up there with the worst functionally I have seen.

Unfortunately not.

I do not believe it is, as the points don't cap out when FJ is on the itinerary.

Yes its a blatant breach of their own product terms; and programmatically should be simply to add the airline code into the logic. They wasted no time removing LA when Latam left OW but one can only assume the tardiness is not based on difficulty of coding required but on limiting value for customers.

Like fixing the site to allow more than 6 flight sectors. Mamy problems that make things better for them and not their loyal customers.

Start with the assumption that nothing they do is going to provide more availability. Then ask yourself whether you think simplifying the system will help you, or whether it would massively hinder you by making the scarce awards more accessible to more people.
