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.

We need that direct phone number of the Hobart operator !

As another data point opposing the allegations of that Qantas call centre employee, there are no F tickets showing on Emirates fifth freedom routes (which are not ticketed in AED)

So are people booking EK F via the QF call centre?

I'm going with no

Adding a data point to feed the speculations.
Right now, I can go as far as the payment page to book online a DXB-SYD in F 17 May 2026.

Edit: Could be that the seat is now blocked until my booking times out

I thought it might be interesting based on the thread. My bad if it's not.

I mean its good as its still bookable and after the March dates, but other EU destinations look like they are still out

I can see it too. I suspect someone cancelled the trip as I'm sure it wasn't there before

The main issue is the lack of any seats in any cabin from March onwards from Australia to Dubai (ADL has some J but that hasn't' changed in weeks)

some more investigating

searched KUL-AMS, 2 people. F available between DXB and AMS.



when searched separately in multi city, DXB-AMS doesnt show any F seats.



which means that DXB-Europe F seats are available on the website ONLY IF the starting location is non DXB.

Im not getting any of those, do you have status with QF? Below is what I am getting?

when you search multi city, you wont be able to see F.

just search KUL to AMS directly, then select 20th May

QFF doing a maintenance tonight, maybe they'll fix the issue. fingers crossed

That's yet another lie from them sadly

DXB - MLE (Male) in F ticketed for me a few months ago in AUD

YOUR AIRLINE RECEIPT:
FARE: AED 0
TAXES/FEES/CARRIER CHARGES AUD 403.00

TOTAL: AUD 403.00

GRAND TOTAL: AUD 403.00

My point is that it was ticketed in AUD before so why wouldn't be ticketed in AUD now..............

Only the call centre can ticket in AUD not the online website which is where searches are done.
Also i am wondering if its something broken on the QF site as JL has problems too if its jot attached to an Australian leg.
