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.

It’s because Qantas moved Emirates from Partner table to Qantas table yesterday. Apparently these two tables have different rules to release classic rewards seat. Qantas has confirmed they are working on it and trying to get it restored.

strange that J reward seats are not affected though?

did you get in touch with Qantas?

I'm still seeing EK F seats on Aeroplan up to 20 June, so it appears that specifically QFF access to these seats has been yanked.

I can see some EK F MEL-DXB.

Existing australia to dxb flights don't seem to be affected

Don't think it's been fixed yet. Most Europe to/from Dubai flights still no F availabilities even in June 2026. Still broken somewhere.
Hopefully Qantas fixes this soon.

Hopefully a different team looking at MU (or lack thereof). Still MIA for over 6 mths….

I did, and was told this matter has been escalated to their IT and Frequent Flyer teams for investigation. The flights, which are not affected, are the ones that have sharecode with Qantas. It's all because they simply moved table and didn't set up Emirates properly. As result, all the F class reward seats and the flights without QF sharecode are no longer appearing in the Classic Flight Reward search results.

Submitting an online complaint form might pressure them to resolve the issue more quickly.
