Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[MEL_Traveller]

I keep being told by the call centre people that there is no availability yet I can book the single flight on the normal qantas website in BC so how can there be no availability?

Inventory control.

Some flights may be bookable as a single sector, but cannot be booked with other sectors.

You might find MEL-SIN and SIN-LHR, but be unable to book MEL-LHR.

To get around d it you might need to stop longer than 24 hours.

Is there a limit to the number of stopovers you can have in one continent? when I have put my itinerary into the one world website it has come up with this message - "Your trip may include two stopovers over 24 hours in the continent where your journey started. If your itinerary includes both of these in your country of origin, one must be outbound and the other inbound. Additional stopovers under 24 hours are permitted in your itinerary. Please select a different date or flight." , it also came up with "Your trip must include a trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific crossing and you may cross each ocean only once. Please select a different destination." are these both true? this is my itinerary . any help will be appreciated.

It sounds like AI was giving you the rules for a *paid* round the world ticket. That’s a separate product from a Qantas Oneworld Award.

The rules paid RTW fares are completely different. And a OWA doesn’t need to be around the world, just capped by the total distance.
