Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[samrich]

Hi Brains trust,

I'm trying to book a Oneworld Classic Rewards Fare.

My itinerary is so far:
-Auckland
-Brisbane (Transit)
-Tokyo(Stopover)
-Manilla (Transit)
-Brisbane (Stopover)
-Adelaide(Transit)
-Kuala Lumpur (Transit)
-Oman (Transit)
-Rome(Stopover)

However Qantas is unable to ticket the itinerary saying that it's an invalid fare. To me, it seems to be completely valid.

Does anyone know why this might be the case?

The computer treats Australia and New Zealand as one place, so returning to Brisbane will count as returning to the starting country - you can't then leave the starting country again. You will need to speak to a person who is empowered to override the computer.

If this is a Oneworld award (capped) then Oman Air isnt currently eligible.

Do you know how I can find such a person? I've spent too much time on the phone trying to get this done and no-one so seems to know what's going on.
