Trying to plan/book a DONE4 itinerary out of HKG using the oneworld web tool but flights I want to use aren't being offered -
It won't offer me QF flights SIN-DXB or DXB-LHR,e.g. QF8433. I realise these are codeshared Emirates flights but they have a QF number so why not visible there? If I booked the itinerary with an agent rather than online, could I expect these flights to be allowable?
It also wont offer me AA flights LGA-ROA and a few other similar US sectors where the AA site offers the flight with an AA number, but operated by American Eagle through Envoy Air, e.g. AA3086. Again, wouldn't such flights be available in a DONE4 itinerary, so why wouldn't they come up in the ow tool?
Am I expecting too much of the tool? I have found it helpful for this same type of itinerary in the past, but I guess probably using more mainstream flights. (I am trying to use the SIN-DXB-LHR QF flights rather than a more preferred direct SIN-LHR BA flight to maintain acceptable SC earn under the new improved QFF rules)
