Qantas Multi-City in US - FLL/MIA to LAS leg

[airbound]

Should a FLL/MIA-LAS leg be bookable using the Qantas Multi-City booking engine on its website? It is throwing up an error that the itinerary is not bookable online when I search for SYD-LAX//FLL-LAS-SYD. Even SYD-LAX//FLL-DFW-LAS-SYD fails. SYD-LAX//LAS-SYD works fine.

According to their route map, FLL-DFW and DFW-LAS are available routes. Is there any reason why FLL-LAS should cause a failure?

And, even if a QF code isn't available, shouldn't it at least throw up AA?

Thanks in advance to the wise brains here.

I tried a few combinations and most didn't work on the QF website. The only thing that did work for me was SYD-LAX/MIA-LAX/LAX-SYD. Not sure why LAS doesn't work.

If that doesn't work for you, perhaps call Qantas or just book a one-way FLL-LAS or MIA-LAS flight on AA and book SYD-LAX/LAS/SYD with QF.

Thanks Mattg. I see there are some other threads about the multi-city engine behaving peculiarly. Hopefully it is something they intend to fix soon. Surely they don't want to tie up the time of the staff at the call centre on booking queries that should be easily capable of being done online.

Unfortunately the multi-city engine has always been quite poor -- and in my view become even worse in the last few months with even simple searches with legs to NZ throwing up errors. A call is needed to address. I have left feedback multiple times and always get nonsense generic "update your browser" replies so I don't think this will ever be rectified.

But in the US it may be worth your while booking the US legs on AA as Mattg suggests, particularly if you are looking at first class and can get the timing right (will be cheaper than booking on QF).
