Indeed, the QF booking reference worked on the Cathay site, but only for the passenger with Gold QF status. So will call them ref other seat..

Thanks for the tips folks.

Many thanks. Qantas said that 'their' 6 digit booking reference won't work. That I need a different one, but we'll see. I recall having to do something similar on China Southern last year......

I've read a few threads on this and am still confused, sorry. I'm booking a multi city awards flight on the Qantas website. SYD-HKG-MAD I get an option for a Cathay flight, with a Cathay flight number. How do I do a seat allocation? In talking to Qantas they explained: Make the booking on...

Hard to tell. But as a 'reverse' example, I'm sure many members here have overseas memberships. I have Emirates, Thai, Malaysian, (I think), Iberia......probably some others. Of course a lot of them might no longer be alive! Might be total memberships ever issued as opposed to 'active'...

I think he underestimated the number of overseas members. :rolleyes: But Yes...........it's a bit of a lottery.

Very good video. A sad story........

True. I was looking at Etihad, Qatar and Emirates as paid tickets on another thread. If I can't find flights using QF points. I would prefer to use QF points than pay, but not easy finding any seats. Sorry for any confusion.

Certainly worth a look, though rather hoping to make it with 1 stop if possible.

Got it. Thanks

Not a Qantas partner last time I looked?

Thanks. I'm not flying much these days and my points are with Qantas. Those are dimishing fast! And not seeing many options to use points on Qantas. Hence I though of just buying an Economy ticket this time. (even using points there are 'charges' of about $500 anyway) There are 2...

If you were going to buy an economy ticket, which of these would you pick? they are all basically the same price. So based on comfort factor. Ability to relax, sleep. Not that worried about food etc. (1) Emirates. SYD-DXB-MAD (2) Qatar (Iberia Aircraft) SYD-DOH-MAD (3) Qatar (own aircraft)...

Ah OK. Thanks

Some interesting options coming up via Asian hubs. Many of which involve Finnair via Helsinki. I thoght at least going via Hong Kong it would be Cathay.... Not had a great experience with Finnair. I wonder why Qantas pushes them over other partner airlines? Costs them less in the points/cash...

Mainly the destination. Madrid, not London. And that was Biz Class this is Economy, if that makes any difference to route choice/airlines. That other trip also ended up being 3 stops. Would like to do it with only 1 or 2 stops if possible for this one.

Good tips, thanks. Sorry, I didn't quite understand the bit in bold. 1726446339 I'll look at those! 1726446378 Thanks, I'll check those out

Starting to look at a September trip to Madrid from Sydney for next year. I need to do this on points and my points are getting low. So will have to be economy. Not much showing up on the Qantas website. Any thoughts on imaginative routes that might have seats? Ealier in the year we are...

Ahh. I see. On the Regular Search I'm only seeing CR+

And yet an Aaward bookinfg appears on the regular page, but the same booking is not shown on the multi city....... I take your point though. Thanks We may just end up paying for an Emirates flight if nothing shows up. Interesting that of all the options that 'did' show on the Qantas site...
