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.

I found the website is cooked. Can do three searches and get different results. Multi shows one result. Normal website search another. Then normal website search and choose flexible with dates gives another result.

I have seen the calendar in multi show results like above. Click a date, and the page refreshes and unticks everything but Economy. I clicking the same date then sometimes loads the flight options or a continuous loop of unticked classes.

Not sure if these are phantom offerings or it’s something else going on.

Either way, all 3 search options should show the same result no matter what platform you are using.

Edit: not sure why it shows up at $357, but searching again its $1250 co payment.

Fixed it for you @elanshin

Although i think the point was that there does exist a flight. And whilst there are way more flights available on EK, flights do exist on QF which means something else is in play here too.

Hello everyone,

I've read from around page 18 or so. I see lots of mentions that there is availability from 'now' (when the posts were written in Aug/Sept) until March 2026. I've been looking for flights from AUS to Europe in December in J or F but only ever saw availability up until end of Nov.

Just wondering if I have missed it or they were never released? I do know that's peak period so maybe it will never release? I remember tracking it earlier in the year and it was releasing new seats every day like clockwork then stopped so I don't think I have missed it but who knows... We do currently have seats booked out of Asia but obviously would prefer to change it from AUS if possible

Thanks!

Yeah, from memory the Christmas / New Year period was scant for a a while now - either got gobbled up months ago or may have been blackout dates involved?
