Qantas - Emirates Award flight Discussion

[MonteCristo]

Dumb question alert for the brains trust: Is it possible to make a standalone Qantas classic rewards booking with Emirates from Malta to Larnaca (Cyprus)? Either by calling Qantas, or somehow online.

I can't get Malta to appear as a destination unless I start with a multi-city first leg in Rome FCO, but the routing is bad (from Rome, to London, then on to Malta), and charges don't make it worth it.

Oh and checking DXB-MLE which I also watch quite a bit as we have a trip booked and another one to book, there is no literally no seats available at all to QF in any class at all flying EK non-stop.

Normally you can get 2 x F and 4 x J on most flights.

Strange times.....

Reading this and from some of the banter up thread around seat release back to AU I went back and did the same search a few weeks back. A few weeks ago DXB-ADL had at least 2 J seats and was one of the reasons I had asked my wife if she wanted me to change her and my daughter's flights direct back into ADL if they are available. As at today all the J seats that were there have vanished.

Think outside the box ...

Premium awards to DOH using many airline frequent flyer programs including Velocity.

From there it is a short hop to Dubai.

Yes in the longer term, that is probably the best bet. In the immediate term, I have all my (millions of) points and status with QF....

That's odd - DXB-ADL is showing for me fairly reliably until 21 May in J.

My search was from 30 May 26, we only arrive in LHR on 25 May 26 so anything before that date is of no value to me. I did another search from 9 May 26 and can see some flights up until 20 May 26. I am using multi city for 2 Pax, a search on safari and chrome returned the same results.

Sat 7th March 2026 is a sad sad day with the last MEL-DXB seat in J being available
