Hi to all,
I have attempted to search these forums for an answer, however I have struggled to find an uptodate thread.
(I'm sure my question has been answered here before - I just can't find the thread).
I last visited this forum a few years ago where I read many reports of passengers booking a flight from LAX to JFK on QF11 as part of a multi-leg ticket after arriving in LAX a few days earlier.
It was said here that the Qantas booking engine should not have been providing QF11 as an option to fly between LAX and JFK, unless you were arriving into LAX on QF93/QF11/QF15 that same morning on the same ticket.
Apparently passengers who attempted to check into QF11 at LAX were told it could not be done, despite already having the ticket purchased. For these passengers Qantas then booked them onto the next available flight to New York flying with American Airlines (or Alaska?) seemingly without too much hassle.
Fast forward to the present day and I find myself looking at making a similar booking, with the difference being the somewhat recent introduction of an evening-arrival flight into LAX from Australia - QF95.
For my multi-leg booking I am looking at flying QF95 -arriving LAX on Thursday evening (spending the night at a hotel) - with the 2nd flight being QF11 - departing LAX the following morning (Friday).
Is this connection now possible or is still considered a separate ticket and therefore ineligible to check in to QF11 at LAX (with the Qantas website's booking engine still providing QF11 as a connection option when it shouldn't be) ??
Cheers.
