Why am I not seeing Emirates codeshares on QF's website?

[Mr_Gimlet]

I've been pretty conservative with travel for the past year, playing it safe in case turmoil strikes, so a cruise from Brisbane and another later this year from Southampton.

I'm now thinking about next year and am going to do something in Europe again. Obviously, QF isn't big on European cities and so I have always done a ticket with Emirates booked through Qantas. Means I avoid London and can go in and out through different cities.

I have been on the website and nothing is being offered, pretty much regardless of date - I've tried January and (this) November (in case it was too late for EK). All I get it through London.

This is with $$$, not points.

Has something changed - the codeshare arrangement still seems to be in place?

Try to force with QF multi city BNE-DXB-XYZ

Or fly another airline. like QR (but will get fewer QF ff points & SC) or a non OW airline.
Or direct with EK (QF points but no SC's)

Are other choices.

Of course! That worked fine, thanks. The algorithm used to show we EF flights down the bottom.

Not too fussed about the points but lounge access is desirable.

Also conside ex-nz. Cheaper fares, more SC, and seems no issue in showing ek flights to Europe. Depending on fare rules you may even be able to stopover in Aust (so can use to position for the next ex-nz ticket).

I see that Expedia shows lots of Qantas flight numbers on Emirates metal. Is that the best way to book these flights?

Whilst it is one way to book them, direct with Qantas is my preference in case I need to do anything with the flights. Going through Expedia (or any travel agent) introduces a middle man that can cause issues under some circumstances.
