Trouble booking a classic award seat

[PaulST]

Hi all,
This is possibly a silly question but how can I book a classic award ticket on a China Eastern flight with my QFF points? Can I do it online somewhere or do I need to ring QF’s call centre?
I’m trying to book a flight between Hiroshima and Seoul.

Thanks.

I think you have to call QF. From QF website:
Call Award flight reservations to make a Qantas & Partner Classic Award booking. An Award Assistance Fee applies for Award bookings made or completed worldwide via a consultant.

I wasn't aware that you could book a QFF award on MU that wasn't a QF codeshare

That might explain why I'm having trouble. How do I find any MU QF codeshare flights? Would they do any QF codeshares between Hiroshima and Seoul?

According to QF website you can book MU flights, but not online. If QF award flights book in the same fare bucket as MU award flights, you need to look for availability in "O" for business and "X" for economy.
